Very disappointed with our room (ground floor 108). We paid extra for a lake view room, but this room only gave an obstructed view - cars were always parked out front and difficult to see between the trees. Nothing like the advertised pictures, which were higher levels. Worse though, was that if the curtains were open anyone walking or driving past could see in. As there was no storage space (only 1 small hanging robe in the bedroom) we put clothing in the dining room buffet and on the table. Again, this meant keeping the curtains closed. Another concern was getting into and out of the shower. As a 55 year old with short legs, I literally had to climb into and out of a sloping bath. Very dangerous - a safety concern - as no non-slip mat provided. When we checked in, we asked for any other room, but we're informed that because we checked in so late (around 3pm - check in from 2pm) all other room had been taken. Basically told 'too bad. Don't pay for a lakeview, unless it is guaranteed to be 2nd floor or above and confirm what room you will be allocated. When I reviewed check in, via Expedia, I received an email saying that management would be informed. Have not heard anything from Peppers management. Certainly not impressed with the room or the service we received. Plenty of other apartments in Queenstown with stunning lake views.

The furniture looks old and a bit tired.. bathroom was in good condition. Plaster patches on the wall and holes in the wall. It was raining one day and there was no mat to wipe our shoes.. the staff were very polite and helpful.

Good sides and where to improve
Staff were friendly, view from living areas of accommodation was stunning , shower water pressure was good, fireplace works well, as well as air conditioner. Shower doors closed tightly. Meanwhile the dishwasher was very smelly (greasy smell), as well as range hood. No action from property team following reported to reception so that we purchased a dishwasher cleaner (cost $10). We washed grease filters of range hood first, then cleaned dishwasher with purchased dishwasher cleaner. Another interesting feature was that there was no door tag for Do Not Disturb. Carpet also looked dated.

They had construction on that they didn’t advise us of so got woken up at 7am most mornings because of the noise. The room wasn’t very clean, mold in shower, kettle and coffee machine, the toilet was also leaking which made quite a bit of noise. We booked mountain view room and had quite high expectations but the window wasn’t very big and the balcony wasn’t even big enough to fit two people comfortably. Parking also was expensive, and wasn’t exactly secure (garage didn’t get locked at night so anyone could walk in from off the street). Staff were friendly and location was good but not worth the money for the room we got.

Pulled the spare blankets from the closet and both were dirty, asked for a replacement. It was clearly visible they hadn’t been laundered in a bit. The front desk was quick to rectify with a clean blanket.

We were greeted by lovely staff who were very attentive. A few suggestions; Staff should be aware of guest movement to time it with room cleans: A coffee pod machine with a milk frother is a must. Many don’t drink black coffee. A decent sized TV is a basic luxury. Breakfast should be available until 10.30. 9.30 finish is far too early for individuals on vacation. A detailed information booklet is required rather than QR codes as internet access is poor. Finally, allow plenty of room between couples and families with children when allocating rooms. Especially when you are not completely booked out as your walls are paper thin. The extended checkout was greatly appreciated along with coffee at the front desk upon request.

Well situated place to stay near central Queenstown. The room has spectacular views of the lake. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable lounge area. Would give it a 5 but the bedroom lacked plug points and cupboard space was limited. Otherwise it was great place to stay.
