The Peppertree Luxury Accommodation

Heidi our host was extremely warm and welcoming. Her house is beautiful and breakfast was good. The reason for my 3/5 score is for the bedroom and bathroom. Both rooms were spacious and clean but somewhat dated. This is one of the most expensive lodges we booked and were expecting the ‘luxury’ it advertised. I feel for the quality of the bedroom and bathroom, it is overpriced.

Very friendly owner. Beautiful property with vines in front, fruits trees and garden behind. Lovely historical house. Breakfast was excellent. Very charming place to stay.

What a stellar place on the outskirts of the town. A lovingly restored heritage house with authentic furnishings made possible by the great eye for detail by the owners Heidi and Werner. The hostess exudes warmth and could not do enough to make our stay more pleasurable. Heidi’s recommendations for restaurants and wineries were perfect and she was happy to accommodate dietary requests. The surrounding gardens are beautiful and gave a sense of tranquility to our stay.

A slice of New Zealand heaven. A lovely hostess that made you feel like you were visiting an old friend, but without doing any of the housework! A very relaxing stay, only problem - we could only stay one night. Would love to return but living in GB might be an issue.

Previous reviewer was right - staying here feels like being invited to a traditional house party. An Edwardian home carefully restored with period detail. If you prefer a minimalist or utilitarian vibe, don’t book here. The Venetian room had a cut-glass chandelier and doors to the veranda with a fountain playing outside, I came away feeling serene after the best nights’s sleep I’d had in NZ.
