Pepper's Clearwater Resort in Christchurch New Zealand is sizzling hot stuff. They tick all the dream boxes: the best restaurant food in the country; sexy boathouse villas overlooking the lakes; the biggest luxury beds ever and a bath that gives you the impression you are floating out on the lake. What makes this luxury destination better than most is their... more

Wow! Loved the townhouse style of the rooms. We had a one bedroom lakefront and it was beautiful, including a deck and a dock. There was a fresh loaf of bread awaiting us in the bread maker and condiments of flavored butter, olive oil and eggplant dip. The bedroom was upstairs and the living room downstairs with the deck. The... more

This was our first destination on our honeymoon, and we reached here very tired from our wedding and a long journey. The drive into the property is beautiful. The check-in process was quick, but not the absolute friendliest that we experience later on in NZ. The townhouse design of the rooms is not too bad, with garages to park your... more

This resort was not busy during our stay and the outside of some of the rooms were absolutlely covered in cobwebs and insects all up the steps and over the walls.The apartments were well located overlooking the golf course and were very comfortable although the bedrooms were quite small.The restaurant was not busy and service was slow and disorganised, the... more

We stayed here for 3 nights for a friends wedding and just adored it. Not sure about the standard rooms but the Lakeview villas were amazing. We got wedding rate but the normal price was $285 - $320 a night for these 2 storey private villas overlooking the lake/golf course. Great quality bedding, huge couches, huge bed, 2 tvs, huge... more

Peppers Resorts has a good reputation in New Zealand so we thought we would give it a try. The drive from the airport was past the land fill, but we figured it was a land reclaimation project to put a golf course and ponds and a big resort in near the airport. It's more of a time share project with... more

My family and I returned to stay at Peppers Clearwater resort over the Christmas and New Year vacation in 2008. Although the rooms remained beautifully furnished, the standard of cleanliness could have been better for a resort of this calibre. We were not impressed by the cobwebs in and around the windows, the bird poo on the stairs leading up... more

okay, we are very ambivalent about this property. firstly, the location is pretty, but obviously very manmade and quite soul-less, but that is probably a bit harsh. the location is far from civilisation, and here is where the big problem is. you can't just stroll out to a great little cafe or restaurant and the food on the premises is... more

Stayed at this hotel in 2006 and again in June 2008. Contrast our first visit with freshly baked bread in the room on arrival. To a cold room with a faulty heating unit. It was minus two outside and we had several visits during the first four hours to repair all to no avail. We have a young child and... more
