Top South Island Hotel Reviews

Peppers Bluewater Resort

Peppers Bluewater Resort

6/10 Okay
"The dinner at the restaurant was excellent, especially the shared Surf & Turf player. The meat, especially lamb chop were excellent. Congratulations to the chef. However, the room was overpriced given the very small size. OK for a short transit."
