4/10 Fair

Poor for a Peppers resort, so disappointed.

Peppers should be embarrassed with this property, it's what I would expect from budget ibis the room was so small. No room for bags and only just room to walk around the bed. Having stayed at peppers resorts before the expectation was high but the reality awful. Food was good is about all I can say apart from stay somewhere else in lake Tekapo or go for the absolute top rooms.

Qijun, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The rooms are very tight, check in was not ready when we arrived. Check in time is 3 pm and we didn't have our room till 4:30pm. Ordered some dessert at their restaurant on site they took over half an hour to give us the take out because they forgot. It is a little disorganized for the amount they charge.
