Room was definitely a 5 star modern room with a fabulous view of the lake. Special thanks to Sharlene on reception. She was so helpful in recommending restaurants, viewing point for the stars at night and telling us about the Christmas market. She is a credit to your team.

Gorgeous unit and tastefully designed. A lot of people have pointed out that it offers little privacy due to the many glass panels and windows but we didn't find it a problem as there were ample blinds in all the rooms and shared spaces. The fact that each room had its own bathroom was a huge plus point. The kitchen was well-appointed and had everything we needed to cook a simple breakfast. Location was fantastic too. Easily the nicest place we stayed at during our trip around the South Island.

Host was really friendly and gave us recommendations on things to do in Tekapo. They also warned us of the weather conditions before we drove out to Mount cook, which was really sweet of them. Best part of the place is that it is spotless and clean. Cozy little place that we called home for 3 nights.

Every aspect of our stay was wonderful. We couldn't have asked for better accommodation. For two couples travelling together on a touring holiday it was the perfect place to stay. In fact the best accommodation we had for our entire two week holiday in the South Island of NZ

One of the cleanest hostels I’ve stayed in. Really nice place to stay to explore Lake Tekapo and Mt Cook. Beautiful location on the lake and in the village, a short walk to everything. The dorm rooms have bunk beds with privacy curtains and charging points with lockers to store your stuff. Great for a few nights stay.

We had such a lovely stay at Peppers. The location was perfect, right across the road from the lake and a very short walk to the restaurants/ shops. We were extremely lucky and grateful to receive an upgrade on check in. Such a lovely room to come back to after a big day of exploring.
