Delicious Breakfast Experience

The buffet breakfast was good! Despite the restaurant's temporary location due to renovations, the quality of the breakfast didn't falter at all. I really enjoyed the variety of options available, and the freshly baked bread was a good surprise in our room upon arrival. Each morning felt special as we sat down to enjoy our meals.

Spacious with Stunning Views

The lake view room we stayed in gave us a amazing view of the beautiful landscape. The size of the room was perfect, offering a comfortable space to relax after a day of exploring. The complimentary freshly baked bread filled the room with a lovely aroma, making each moment even more enjoyable.

Perfect for Golf Lovers

As a former golfer, I was thrilled with the proximity of the golf course. It was wonderful to sit on the balcony and watch players on the green while enjoying a cold drink. The serene environment really added to the experience and made my stay that much more enjoyable, even without hitting any balls myself.

Convenient and Hassle-free Parking

Parking was very convenient at Peppers Clearwater. The first-come-first-served system worked well, and I appreciated that the parking was set up along the 'road,' ensuring ease of access. It made coming and going simple, with no worries about finding a spot after a long day.

The resort offers breathtaking views and spacious accommodations, perfect for a relaxing getaway by the lake. The suites are well-designed with ample living space and amenities, but they do feel a bit worn and in need of some maintenance. While my experience was enjoyable, the service was inconsistent, and the restaurant menu could use more variety.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the grounds and golf course were well-kept and attractive, the room we stayed in had several issues and felt outdated. The service from the staff was friendly but inconsistent, particularly during meal times. The location was nice and tranquil, especially by the lake, but the room layout and amenities left a lot to be desired, especially for the price we paid.

Rooms

Our room was quite comfortable, but the layout was a bit inconvenient with a sliding door separating the main area from the bathroom. Overall, it felt like it needed a refresh.

The hotel is situated in a lovely, peaceful setting next to the lake, which was a real plus. It offered a relaxing environment, but the photos were misleading regarding room placements.

8.0/10

I had an unforgettable stay with a fantastic lake view and some truly unique touches, like the in-room bread maker. However, while the service was outstanding, there were a few hiccups with the dining experience that left room for improvement. Overall, I would recommend this hotel for its special amenities and warm atmosphere.

Rooms

The room was well designed with a spacious bedroom, a cleverly designed bathroom with a bath, and a living area that opened onto a lovely courtyard. The view was simply fantastic, and the fresh bread in the bread maker was a delightful touch, still warm upon arrival.

The hotel is ideally located, providing a peaceful atmosphere while still being accessible to local attractions and the beautiful golf course views.

Dining

While the first course and dessert were impressive, the main course was disappointing as the turkey was dry and the sides were cold. It was a letdown given the previously high standards.

I had a rather disappointing experience at this resort. The rooms were decent, but the service, especially in the restaurant, left a lot to be desired. I did appreciate the warm reception area and the effort from the staff with my luggage. However, the dining choices were underwhelming, and the noise from planes was a bit intrusive. Overall, not the relaxing getaway I hoped for.

Rooms

7.0

The room was acceptable with a separate bedroom and lounge area, but it had a lot of stairs to access, which was a hassle with heavy bags.

Service

6.0

The staff did try to be helpful, carrying my luggage, but the overall service was slow and lacked attention.

Location

6.0

The location was a bit remote, around 8-10 kms from Christchurch, with some plane noise, which detracted from the peaceful view.

Dining

5.0

Unfortunately, the dining experience was not great. The starters were nice, but my main course was poorly executed, and a friend found hers inedible.

Facilities

While the resort has potential with its lovely warm reception area, there weren't many other facilities that stood out.

My stay at this resort was quite mixed. On one hand, the location was stunning with views of the lake, and there were some enjoyable aspects of the dining experience. On the other hand, the rooms felt dated and in need of maintenance, and the service left much to be desired. Overall, while there were beautiful grounds, I left feeling disappointed with the overall quality, especially given the price we paid.

Rooms

5.0

The rooms had a musty smell and felt a bit neglected, with signs of wear and tear visible everywhere. The cleanliness wasn't up to par, and I expected better for my stay.

Service

6.0

The service had its moments, especially when they were apologetic about their mistakes and offered a bottle of wine for the inconvenience. However, it definitely didn't feel up to a high standard for a resort.

Location

8.0

The location is beautiful, situated within a golf course and overlooking the lake, which made for lovely scenery. However, it felt a bit isolated, as we had to drive back into town for dining options.

Dining

7.0

Dining was decent, with a good variety that satisfied our needs. However, some things weren’t up to standard, including a noticeable smell in our suite from baking bread.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities seemed nice from a distance, but some areas were definitely in need of upkeep. The vibe didn’t match what I expected from a place this price point.
