“I need a chiropractor”

Reviewed 23 May 2013 NEW

We booked a lakeview room - and as mentioned previously it is more expensive. Unfortunately the way our room faced it looked onto the very edge of the lake and we couldn't see it from our bed. The bathroom was awesome - huge with heated floors - the bath was amazing - it had a better view than from our... More

“Good option for one night”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

Spent the night here on our way from Te Anau to Akaroa and it was fine, but not exceptional. Got the cheapest option, which was a fairly small room. It was clean and comfortable, however, and the staff is friendly. WiFi is extra, but we grabbed a pint at a bar in town that had free WiFi which took care... More

Kia ora grabowcp, Thanks for your honest comments, and we are glad you found the room to be practical for your needs. We would certainly tend to agree and suggest that travellers wanting to stay for longer, utilise the larger apartments and ideally be able to enjoy that incredible view. Thanks again.

“Relaxing room with a view”

Reviewed 18 May 2013

We spent 2 nights in a lake view appartment. Lovely appartment with stunning view of lake Tekapo. It is worth the extra money for the view. Great shower. The only anoying thing was the small child in the appartment above who liked to ring the door bell each time he passed. We could also hear the floor boards creaking above... More

Kia ora BellaRocks, Many thanks for your recent comments about Peppers Bluewater Resort. We are really pleased that you found your apartment to be so relaxing, and were able to enjoy that fantastic view! Best wishes, Andrew M Freak General Manager Peppers Bluewater Resort More

“Cheap but not cheerful options.”

Service felt cold and everything on offer was going to cost $. No free wifi ...was a let down. Resort was empty. Asked for an upgrade from the mini studio to an average size studio (this had a tiny bit more room...we had a look through the windows as they were all vacant) but was told it was going to... More

We had booked a two bedroom apartment at the resort and when we reached our apartment there was food odor. The apartment had partial lake views and the interiors, though spacious were not maintained well and overall it gave a messy feel. The resort is right on the highway which I personally did not like. The staff was not at... More

“Great Views of the Lake ...”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

if you pay for the larger rooms with views. They have some very cramped studios with no view for folks with more of a budget - we switched to the lake view and it was well worth it! Top floor, huge room, excellent views, upgraded bathroom. The restaurant has good food, not too pricy, but McKenzie's in town has Stonegrill... More

We stayed here for a night and it was the most expensive accommodation we stayed in for our whole trip The room was spacious with great fittings and had a nice view of the lake as well Nice spot but can't say it was great value for money
