Highlights

The Resort – Spectacularly located in one of New Zealand’s most striking regions

Immerse yourself in the unique alpine wonders of Lake Tekapo, with Peppers Bluewater Resort Lake Tekapo as the perfect launchpad for your adventure. Throughout the resort and within each of the elegant rooms, the architecture and décor take inspiration from the magnificent landscape, with the use of warm earthy hues, and subtle tones of blue, brown and beige to bring the outside in. The modern rooms and suites make the most of extraordinary views, and each one provides a tranquil retreat – perfect for those moments when you need to recharge between the day’s adventures.

The region is known for its exceptional local produce, and the resort’s onsite eatery, Rakinui Restaurant, celebrates this in every aspect and captures the flavours of the region with a contemporary farm-to table-philosophy. As for the wine list, you won’t be disappointed by the selection of New Zealand’s best to complement your dining.

By day, stop by the soothing hot pools, take in the chiselled mountains of the Mackenzie Region on horseback with a guided tour, or maybe tee off at The Cairns Golf Course, which provides a magnificent vista of the Mackenzie Basin and Tekapo area. Later, when the sun drops below the horizon, be sure to visit Tekapo’s Mt John for the ultimate viewing experience of the region’s stunning night sky in this International Dark Sky Reserve.

Your Handpicked Inclusions – Welcome wine and chocolates, daily breakfast, dining discount and late checkout

Your stay is off to a superb start with a welcome bottle of wine from The Good Company by Yealands – your choice of pinot noir, rosé, pinot gris, sauvignon blanc or chardonnay – along with a selection of chocolates from a local producer.

Wake up to a delicious cooked buffet breakfast at Rakinui Restaurant, featuring a selection of seasonal dishes, including fresh bread and pastries, a curated selection of meats and cheeses, fresh fruits and yoghurt, along with hot offerings such as eggs cooked to order, pancakes, French toast and more. Beyond breakfast hours, you’ll also enjoy a 15% discount on dining at Rakinui Restaurant.

While all good escapes must come to an end at some point, guaranteed 12pm late checkout will ensure a few more hours for you to squeeze in one last adventure.

This hotel is great! Good location with walking distance to town, helpful and friendly staff, room (suites for 2 persons) is well designed, heater at every area, big sliding door for the mountain view, heated towel rods. The breakfast has wide variety and good quality food. Highly recommend!

We stayed for two nights. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the beds were very comfortable. Everything we needed was provided to make our stay enjoyable and memorable. The property is strategically located right across the street from Lake Tekapo, offering beautiful views. We experienced a minor issue with the heating, but the staff were very helpful and promptly brought us a portable heater on a cold evening. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

Been here twice, first time I had the cheapest room which was super small and the second time I got a free upgrade and the room was a lot more spacious. The bathroom was a good size, but the shower had mold both times. The location is great though. Very walkable to the lake and restaurants. Plus the restaurant on site has good food and service. Tons of free parking.

The stay at Peppers was the only bad thing about the entire trip in New Zealand. We booked the 2 bedroom suite which can accommodate 5 people as per the site. The booking was done for the family, 2 adults and 2 kids. To my surprise, when we checked in the suite had only 1 bathroom. The same was not clearly specified anywhere in the booking. How can you even imagine that an after booking a 2 bedroom suit you will end up with just one bathroom to share. In terms of food, the hotel does not have any proper service and alternate. They close the kitchen early as 9:00 PM and there is no room service as well post such time. We reached the Peppers at 8:45 PM and after travelling for several hrs were very disappointed to learn that the hotel cannot serve any food . New Zealand primarily close the restaurants early so when we visit / book a hotel we expect the hotel to have some service for the guest arriving at odd hrs. They also take tour booking and when some tour group comes in, they close the only one available dining restaurant to entertain the tour groups with no consideration for the in house guest . For Breakfast, they serve the buffet on charge but the attitude is if they are doing some great favour by serving the breakfast. Ordered some fried eggs and the eggs never came. Finally had to leave without having the eggs. Overall apart from the convenience of the location of the hotel, there is nothing good about the place.
