Peppers Bluewater Resort, hotel in Lake Tekapo

Peppers Bluewater Resort is a 4.5-star hotel close to the shores of Lake Tekapo.

I was surprised by the staff’s offer of getting free passes to Lake Tekapo pools. I was not informed that I will be given free passes and I should have save almost $150 for the all day pass in the pools. Maybe next time I will check with the staff before paying for the Lake Tekapo pools.

Our 4-day stay at The Star View was absolutely incredible! We were pleasantly surprised when we were upgraded from a suite to a spacious 3-bedroom house for free. The apartment was beautifully decorated and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a fully equipped kitchen and a convenient washing machine and dryer. The extra space was a wonderful bonus, allowing us to spread out and relax. Overall, our experience at The Star View exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tekapo!

    I always stop in Tekapo to eat and look at the view. It was the first time I stayed in the town. It was really cool to go to the hotpools, which I didn't even know existed, and explore more of the local restaurants.

    We we very disappointed with our stay and would only recommend it as a last resort. The room was clean and adequate, but was small and pokey, and the long hallways narrow. The view was partially obscured by other buildings. The hotel restaurant is closed at night, so no in house bar or food. We found an excellent restaurant in front of the lake. Overall ,overpriced and barely adequate… there must be somewhere better?

    The apartment was extremely well appointed & super comfortable. Loved the heated floor in the bathroom. So much room to move about. The manager was fantastic & so helpful. He is amazing. We would recommend Mantra Lake Tekapo to any of our family or friends passing through the region.

    I have been going there since 1987 and it has never lost its charm. The lake is a beautiful turquoise colour. Mount John is a great place to see the Southern Alps. Mount Cook is nearby. There is a ski field in winter. It is an easy drive from Queenstown or Christchurch.

    Great place to visit beautiful view.

    Great place to visit beautiful view. Colour photos turn out fantastic due to lighting, lake environment colours. Sky at night best I've seen. Rented large house for our family gathering. In advance Contacted Four Square Tekapo they offered to cook chickens, make vegetarian dish, supplied all our food. Also made salads supplied breads, deserts, drinks. We were so pleased with the service this store provided. Perfect. Would of loved to stay longer.

    Lake Tekapo is beautiful and very relaxing but only needs a couple of days to be seen thoroughly. There's a pleasant, flat walk along and above the shoreline that's not too taxing for younger children and there are trails and hot spring pools for older kids/adults. There's also mini golf or ice skating, depending on what time of the year you go. Shops are very limited and those available are overpriced - if you are staying self-catered, try to bring food with you or eat out. Thoroughly recommend 25 degree - they don't take bookings so you'll need to get there as they open (for dinner) or be prepared to wait/come back later. Another downside is the inconsiderate behaviour of some of the other tourists - if you're trying to get any decent photos of the Good Shepherd church or stars, you'll need to go very early/very late or find a secluded place for night photos. Some people seemed unaware that this is a spot for limited light so had car headlights on full whilst sitting outside the church - which made our photographers trip a bit wasted.

    This backpackers was one of the most spotlessly clean places I've ever stayed. Facilities were great and Zoe, on reception, was so friendly and gave us the best recommendations for places to eat and things to do in Tekapo. The view from the main window is gorgeous and it is great value for money.

    This is my fourth time stopping in Lake Tekapo on my way from Christchurch to Glenorchy. For the location and value, I would choose this motel over the two others where I've stayed in Lake Tekapo. This one was quieter and cleaner than the other two.
