Fantastic location. Walking distance to the National Park and restaurant. Breathtaking views. Waking up to a clear blue sky and all the peaks in view on Nov. 7 was an unforgettable experience.

The size of the unit is lovely and spacious. The kitchen facilities are excellent and we were able to cook a meal plus a Dishdraw for cleaning up meant we didnt have to spend time on dishes. The Gas fire and underfloor heating, when it was 2 degrees outside, mean"t we warm and cozy. The spa bath was relaxing , and with sky TV we could watch the rugby. Plus a alcony to view the mountains. Hands down my favorite place to stay in Hamner Springs.

All of the facilities are really good. Actually it exceeds our expectations. we haven't used the GYM and SPA . Had a lovely evening in the private jacuzzi. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable and for your great hospitality. I would say it's next level staff service compared to other motels and hotels that I've been in New Zealand.

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.

We were delighted to be offered an upgrade to the “honeymoon suite”. The clean roomy cottage had a homey feel. The location was ideal ~ tucked away in the trees and yet a 5 minute walk to trails around the lake and a 10 minute walk from several restaurants.

Our rooms were clean and all facilities worked well. As the weather was poor we spent most of our time in the lounge and kitchen. The atmosphere there was quiet, relaxed and friendly. The kitchen was sufficiently stocked to allow us to prepare meals easily. The view from the lounge was lovely, allowing us to feel a part of the surroundings even when we couldn't wander around outside.
