Pros +
- Spacious rooms.
- The beautiful setting.
- Staff were lovely. Bed was comfy.
Cons -
- Information about fishing was entirely inaccurate (fishing was not allowed). Steps from parking to front door were a nuisance for carrying luggage. Broken flush mechanism on toilet.
- Poor lighting in room. No plates for self breakfast
- Not enough utensils in the kitchenette, I have traveled for much cheaper and always had everything I needed. For the price there could've been more and more comfort another chair or small table.

Always love the location
There was a party going in one of the rooms till approximately 2am. Young people vomiting in gardens. Glass all over the road way.In the room we had there was spider webs and spiders on every curtain bracket and all around the ceiling. There was mould in the corners of the shower. Shower was broken. Curtains were coming off hooks and carpet was worn down to the pile.Very disappointed in our stay this time, unsure if we will return
The bed was really comfy and huge!
Incredibly noisy. Shuttle is a loud van going up and down all through the night and property maintenance starts really early. I stayed 4 nights and paid for an employees to come down for 2. My arrival was to a rubbish bin not empty, mostly clean feel in the bathroom and no furniture on the jetty. She arrived to a welcome note, 2 Whittakers bars, new appliances and really clean, bathroom no mould and furniture on the jetty. Felt a bit let down considering I paid the bill but others was nice.
Location to the airport was a reason for choosing it but it was far more than that. Rooms were good and roomy, bar and restaurant good and it being part of a golf course was beautiful.
The plastic bath.
We were booked into a Lakeview room but on inspection, it was totally misrepresented by Booking.com photos and list of equipment. For example, there was no microwave. I complained to management who to their great credit, immediately upgraded us to a Lakeview suite. This was excellent, a very spacious layout over two levels, with two verandas overlooking the lake. Stunning. However, the room was quite battered, the kitchen drawers were all damaged, walls were damaged and in need of a paint. The kitchen also lacked equipment, only 2 knives and forks and limited china. But it did have gas hot plates, oven, microwave, Nespresso machine, toaster, dishwasher and refrigerator. The bed was very comfortable. Cleaning staff were very friendly and helpful. The grounds of the resort are absolutely gorgeous and one can walk for kilometres in perfect safe surroundings.
The suite was a bit tired, particularly the bathroom, but otherwise, a beautiful base to explore Christchurch.
Comfortable villa with nice views, useful little kitchen and nice walk around the golf course
It was quiet and comfortable.
The basin in the bathroom. The tap is too close to the bottom of the basin and you could hardly get your hands in there to wash it, when you turned the water on it splashed everywhere. Bad design or choice.
Stayed quite a few times a beautiful location and quiet
The shower head wouldn't stay up, told staff that basically didnt care. Would expect.more from a place like this, regardless we will stay again but the bathrooms need a major upgrade in all lakeside rooms
Excellent atmosphere and family friendly. I wanted to know more about the club so did a bit of digging online.After reading last year's AGM comments, it was delightful to see the future vision and current value added ideas to make all feel welcome.From the pro shop to the Barista, we felt very comfortable and welcomed. So comfortable that we are looking to buy an apartment at your immaculate complex.The course played well and the greens staff showed attention to detail like no other.We snapped a photo from our balcony across the lake to the 9th hole at dawn. Without a ripple of water on the glass like lake and morning sun shining on the signature John Deere greens mower, the photo now resides on our Samsung Frame as a memory of how much we want to return.Thanks for having us
A beautiful place to stay. Friendly welcoming staff and cleaners, large rooms adequately equipped. Will definitely stay again.
Very comfortable, spacious and modern. The views were lovely, such a beautiful spot.
Rooms spacious, clean and modern with great views. Food in restaurant excellent with the exception of the continental breakfast which was poor.
Continental breakfast was v poor. Just granola , a bit of fruit and some yoghurt. No choice of cereal, no options of toast, pancakes, croissants, pastries. Simply not good enough.
Lovely setting within the Clearwater golf course looking over a pond.Bed was massive and was very comfortable.Great areas to go walking or running. A very quiet setting among nature.
A bit of a walk to the main building for breakfast.
Bad and not going next...
The accommodation had spider webs, the fans in bathrooms were not working, had mould in toilets. Upon notification it was not fixed. the SPA was not working
We really enjoyed the beautiful surroundings of this resort. Eating an excellent breakfast each morning overlooking the lake and manicured putting greens was a very nice start to the day. The room was quite spacious for two people, and the bathroom was very good. Located quite close to the airport, it was an easy drive after a long day travelling. Christchurch is a great city, and we found it easy to find our way from Peppers to the city center. It was well located to be able to head north to the Waipara Valley wineries and west to the mountains. Lots of other services in the nearby suburbs. Highly recommended.
Clean, comfortable, very quiet, peaceful, close to the city.
Very beautiful & challenging golf course, good equipment in villa, friendly staff
Restaurant can improve, cleanliness of relaxing chair also, depending on wind, noise of inbound air traffic.
