Decided to take a luxury weekend away to use some of our credit from Luxury Escapes. As Rotorua is close to home we chose this beautiful and delightful spot on the lake. Peppers has amazing grounds and colonial style building. Our room was large and set out beautifully. There are pet miniature horses, donkeys and sheep - pick up some carrots from the kitchen and wonder down to feed them, they are so friendly! A tennis court is available to use if you feel like some exercise. Our room was next door to the breakfast room. In the room we had a capsule coffee maker, plunger, tea bags and a few pieces of fruit and biscuits. Our suite was made up of 4 rooms - a small lounge, bedroom, shower room and bathroom with a spa bath. We paid extra for a view of the lake which was wonderful, so could wake up in the morning and enjoy the view... except for the second morning when people arriving for a early brunch (?) parked right in our way (luckily they cannot see in with the one way glass windows) There is a delightful lounge/sitting area and formal dinning room in the main entrance to enjoy a seat by the fire and dinner by night. A church is also situated in the garden and worth a look and to take photos - amazing view !
Pro’s- picturesque, clean, attention to detail, staff are lovely and attentive and the food is to die for - compliments to the chef.
Cons - the bed is very firm and pillows not to my liking. Very expensive but worth while for a very special occasion.
