Dear Guest, Thank you for choosing Peppers Bluewater. We are glad to know you enjoyed your stay with us and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Kind Regards Gail
Excellent service, amazing views and a comfy bed. Our meal at the restaurant was delicious. I wish our room had a toaster so we could make our own breakfast. We were disrupted by what sounded like people upstairs moving furniture for four hours. The walls and floors are very thin! Get an upstairs apartment if you can.

Kia Ora, Thank you for choosing to stay at Peppers Bluewater Resort. Apologies for the noise by neighboring room. Did you raise your concern with our 24hr reception team. I am confident our team would have made every effort to make your stay more comfortable. We look forward to welcoming you back to stunning Tekapo. Kind Regards
The view was amazing and when we checked in everyone was lovely, food was fantastic! However when we called Peppers about an item that we left behind on the kitchen bench they claimed that house keeping said that nothing was left! Maybe thinking about other accommodation next time we visit Tekapo.

Kia Ora, We appreciate you taking the time to leave us with your feedback. It was disappointing to hear the room you were provided failed to meet your expectations, I note your reservation was for one of our standard hotel rooms which are by definition and are of course advertised as a ‘Sleep & Go’ type accommodation. We take great care to advertise the size and compact nature of the units at 14.7 square metres which we believe provide exceptional value for money for travellers looking to spend the bulk of their stay exploring the lovely Mackenzie region. A recognised challenge for us is to ensure that all of our Agents and methods of booking are correctly informed of the size of the room, and I can guarantee that this is consistently actioned at every level possible. For some guests who use Agents, or systems where third party agents or systems are used, regrettably it is not possible for us to ensure the agent passes the guest the information on regarding the exact size of the room and when this happens there may be disappointment. We sometimes have to ask and suggest to agents that they could take more care and improve their attention to detail when booking a valued client a particular room type because no guest likes surprises and to not have their expectations met. For some guests who have the habit, and/or the time, they may look at our website that you would expect to have the most accurate and informative details advertised and on the Peppers website and we certainly are very transparent describing the size of the hotel room. We do understand that not everybody sees or understands 14.7 square metres reference, so we also describe them as ‘sleep and go’ to give the impression they are small in size.Apologies if these details were overlooked at the time of booking. Kind Regards

We were absolutly blown away with the service, our room was so lovely, clean and the bathroom was amazing!! The level of cleanliness was a 10 out of 10 for us.
We had intended on heading out more than we did, but the unit was so comfortable we spent more time enjoying it and relaxing.
Definitely will go back and we recommend to all our family and friends.

Kia ora Netia, Thank you for your stay and leaving us with an amazing feedback. We are delighted to know that we met your expectations regarding the cleanliness of the room. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next trip to Lake Tekapo. Kind regards, Gail Buquid
If ordered a meal no table to sit at in room. Do you eat in bed.
Washing machine on most of the evening sounded like a train coming through the room. Turned off our television. The room booked was a better room it was certainly not worth the price we paid over priced it was. Would not recommend this to anyone. One very dissapointed traveller. When we complained politely we were offered 22 dollars mmmm what an insult.
