A high quality quiet modern hotel within walking distance of the busy, noisy centre.
Views from the bar/restaurant overlooking the lake are breathtaking.
The bedroom was impeccably clean and comfortable.
The best of all, however, are the staff who couldn’t help enough (thank you again Julia for working so hard to sort out our booking platform problem).
We travel extensively and for us to recommend a hotel so highly is an exception.

Ideally situated as only a five minute walk to the centre but yet in a quiet area. Very comfortable with friendly owners who genuinely want you to enjoy your stay with them, and in Queenstown. A perfect place to stay.

When looking for a hotel remember you are in backpackers territory and with that comes noise and lots of it. Peppers is sufficiently out of town to get a good nights sleep yet close enough to be able to walk into town.
Ask for a room on floors 1 to 5 with a lake view, and reject the rest. Excellent value, lots of space, save your washing up and do it with the facilities here. Would stay here again if ever I came back to NZ.
They need to be encouraged to ban smoking on the balconies as the...

We loved this place! It was walkable to the centre of town to all the shops and restaurants and waterfront - as long as you don't mind the uphill walk home at the end of the night. The room was basically a self contained apartment which was great for us as a family. It had a full kitchen, lounge area, washer and dryer and dishwasher. I would totally recommend this place to people and would stay there again!
