Good location. Property is a bit tired, heating is based on heatpumps and ours was extremely noisy and didn't heat enough the room. Bed is very hard (even for a Chinese) and some dishes were dirty.

4/10

Peppers should be embarrassed with this property, it's what I would expect from budget ibis the room was so small. No room for bags and only just room to walk around the bed. Having stayed at peppers resorts before the expectation was high but the reality awful. Food was good is about all I can say apart from stay somewhere else in lake Tekapo or go for the absolute top rooms.
