Venue Highlights

Peppers Bluewater Resort, Lake Tekapo, is the latest glimmering spectacle on New Zealand's South Island.

Perched on the shores of the dramatic Mackenzie Basin, Lake Tekapo is the largest and highest glacial lake in New Zealand.

Inspired by the lake's characteristic turquoise-blue hue, 72 rooms offer a variety of accommodations, from standard studio rooms to one, two and three bedroom villas, all with essential modern comforts. Timber and leather textures reflect the earthy tones of Mount Cook National Park, while moods are reflected in the calming blue waters across the foothills of the Southern Alps.

Lake Tekapo provides excellent kayaking and rainbow and brown trout fishing, while the old village is steeped in mythology and rich High Country history. Tekapo is Maori for 'night s

Location

Lake Tekapo and the other lakes in the Mackenzie Country are a wonderful opaque turquoise colour, the result of glacier-ground rock sediment in the water. The township at the lake's edge knows how to look after visitors; it has a choice of cafes and several souvenir shops. The exquisite Church of the Good Shepherd is possibly the most photographed church in New Zealand. Another photographic opportunity is the sheepdog memorial, which pays tribute to the role of dogs in high country farming. Make the most of the fresh, alpine air on the Lake Tekapo Walkway. On a clear night, you can watch the stars at Mt John Observatory.

Accommodation

Stylish lakeside villas and apartments have breathtaking views across Lake Tekapo.

Inspired by the landscape, the architectural design reflects the natural colours and textures of the Mackenzie Basin which incorporates the glacial blue water and the smooth stones on the shores of the lake, schist and agate of the mountains and the russet red and beige tussocks.

Each room features STD/ISD telephone, minibar, tea & coffee making facilities, air conditioning and complimentary grooming items.
