    The food was amazing at dinner and breakfast. To come home at end of the day to a warm room with the bed turned down and a soap on the bed was a lovely extra touch. The DVD/book room was a nice touch and we watched a movie from the collection one evening.

    Not sound proofed. Can hear people in next room, creaking floorboards as people walk by or use the stairs outside the room. Going a little too far with the markup on alcohol in the restaurant.

    Good shower with heated floor and mirror in bathroom. Very spacious. Super comfortable bed. Breakfast was fantastic and dinner very nice. Feeding the local sheep and donkeys!!

    One of the unique selling points of our last visit was the 4 course dinner with chance for pre dinner canapés with other diners which was a lovely opportunity to chat with other guests making it more of a “ house party “ atmosphere. We missed that element this time

    This was a repeat visit for us after 6 years. We even had same cottage. The views, service, food and wine are wonderful. A real treat

    N/A Everything was great.

    Peppers is a tranquil escape and a beautiful property. The chef did a wonderful job with the food both at breakfast (the best of our tour of 6 weeks) and dinner. The staff are helpful and ensure your stay is comfortable. We truly enjoyed the entire property and exploring the area's thermal features.

    It was perfect.

    We loved our cottage on the shores of Lake Rotorua. it was spotless, comfortable and had everything we needed. The staff were so efficient and very friendly - they assisted with luggage as there were a few steps. The hot tub on the deck was a great after dinner treat! The views were amazing!

    There were some inconsistencies Dinner one night was exquisite, the next night not so. The room servicing on the first day was impressive but the following day the standard was quite low.

    Breakfast was superb Our cottage was extremely well fitted out with views that can’t be beaten. Staff were pleasant The private hot tub on the deck was a bonus.
