Stunning grounds . Unit needed attention

Beautiful grounds and being Autumn the drive in from the main road was stunning. Check in was average and room was “a little tired” location perfect if heading north or south and wanting to avoid the city centre or catching an early flight. Our room was very cold when we arrived, some heating on for us before arrival would have made us feel a lot more welcome.

Breath of Fresh Air.

Entering the grounds you meander along a long curved driveway bound by shrubs and lush green lawns directly up to the Reception entrance. As you walk into the spacious reception area, the first thing you notice is the warming fire directly ahead. To the right is the reception desk. Check in was seamless and in no time we had our map to guide us to the accommodation. To access the room you climb external staircase to an enclosed undercover entrance to front door . The room is massive compared with many other accommodation spaces, and that is only the downstairs section - separate toilet, kitchenette, dining area, lounge out onto a deck with timber outdoor setting. Upstairs is an office nook, walk in robe, bedroom with super king size bed and room leads out onto a deck. Separate bath, shower, basin and toilet areas. We were blown away by the size and the view. We strolled to the main complex to dine. Enjoyed the fresh flavours and produce offered, as well as the wines. Staff were attentive and professional. We only stayed overnight but you really need to spend more time so you can soak up the atmosphere, recharge your batteries and relax. Thank you for a wonderful service.

Area and outside of room was great, great view of the quay and nice and quiet vibe but still close enough to the city for food etc. The room we had was very outdated, numerous lights not working, including the one in the shower behind a tiled wall so was quite dark when showering. Window leaked when it rained and looked like it had for a while considering the state of the skirting board which was starting to crack and rot. Sliding doors from living room to bedroom were off the hinges and when we managed to get it closed they didn’t even line up and there was a big gap at the top of the door. Parking was also limited with the 3 possible guests/apartments. The grounds and the rest of the facilities were good, but this particular room could do with some serious TLC or price needs to seriously be dropped for this room.

Beautiful holiday place

The hotel is inside of a beautiful golf place with many ponds filled with crystal clear water, surroundings are parks and reserves, we had a wonderful Christmas Eve there. A little pity that inside our room, it’s somehow less well maintained. Chairs all have big stains, and shower floor was slippery.

My wife and I stayed at Peppers Clearwater Resort for three nights for the Christchurch leg of our honeymoon through New Zealand. We very much enjoyed our stay and the staff helped to make our honeymoon extra special. The accomodation was clean and had everything we needed with amazing views. The restaurant was delicious and reasonably priced for the quality of the meals. The accomodation is also quite close to Christchurch Airport, which made our early morning transfer so much easier. The only issue we had during our stay was the parking - we stayed in one of the villas which appeared to have three reservable accomodations, but there were only two parking spaces out the front. This meant at one stage we needed to park down the road and walk to our accomodation. For us it wasn’t - big issue, but we are both reasonably mobile. Another point worth noting is that the surrounding area is very quiet and far away from the hustle and bustle of Christchurch CBD, but this is of course a benefit if you are looking for peaceful and quiet accomodation.

We arrived later than hoped at 2am in the morning after our flight was delayed; the drive was only 10mins from the Christchurch airport and the overnight reception staff member was standing and awaiting our arrival, completed our checkin promptly, drove ahead of us to direct us to our apartment block then assisted us to carry our luggage into our apartment to settle in quickly- thankyou, very welcoming and helpful. While we did anticipate a king bed, not a queen bed we were otherwise very comfortable and undisturbed. Next morning the view over the lake and grounds were stunning, with snowclad mountains as a backdrop. A lovely breakfast with decent coffee was followed by a walk around the beautriful grounds- definitely explore the trout living in the brook cross by the driveway bridge and walk the Groynes track. Highly recommend.
