Arriving from Australia, and staying for only one night, the first positive was that when we arrived at 1am, reception was open and we received a warm welcome. The second positive was the WOW factor of the two-level suite with a large balcony overlooking a shroud of mist with just a glimmer of light sky. At this point we didn't... More

I stayed here for one night and thought its a great bet considering most of the city center hotels are not operational at all.

We were booked in here by our travel agent for 2 nights before joining a bus tour starting in christchurch. We arrived after midnight - fairly short taxi ride from the airport - and the man on duty at reception was very helpful. The room was lovely - very nicely furnished with a huge and very comfortable bed. A door... More

Agreed, it is a nice location and hotel. Parking lots could be better maintained as well as the stairs towards the hotel room. Why than terrible rating? Well, the staff is very rude and not flexible when dealing with clients. I never stay in a Peppers again - they should act according to their own slogan 'it's all about service'.... More

The hotel is set on golf course near airport. The rooms/apartment was facing lake and had plenty of space . We chilled out after flight the food was good quality if a bit expensive.

We only stayed one night, coming in from Lake Tekapo, resting for a night before our morning flight. Overall, the place is fantastic. Peaceful and quiet, and (I think) all rooms are bordering the lake. Didn't realise that this was a golf resort, though, which I personally dislike though that's just my preference. Amenities were good. Very convenient washer and... More
