If you’re looking for a peaceful, scenic location to hold your next meeting with the convenience of a vibrant city nearby, Peppers Clearwater Resort in Christchurch might be just the place to inspire and generate discussion.
A tranquil respite from the hustle and bustle of Christchurch’s redeveloping city centre, the property sits on 465 picturesque acres just 15 minutes from Christchurch city centre and only 8 minutes from the region’s international airport. Set against the glassy waters of Lake Kaikainui and the distant Southern Alps, the spectacular setting lets guests experience the grandeur of New Zealand’s South Island landscape.
The event spaces The property offers 4 meeting spaces for you to choose from. There’s the light-filled Kaikainui Room, the flagship space that boasts floor to ceiling glass windows with views over the lake.
Meeting Rooms 2 and 3 are located on the first floor of the Clubhouse, offering shimmering lake views or glimpses of the Southern Alps.
And the unique Members Library features French doors opening onto a deck with a spectacular view over the property’s 18th hole championship golf course - a favourite space for small private dinner parties or intermit cocktail events.
The dining options For the gourmet delegate, the indulgent lunch experiences are endless. Gourmet banquets, working lunches, intimate picnic hampers, fine dining or a degustation feast of the best of the region’s produce in the renowned Lakes Restaurant.
Breaktime can include parmesan & herb popcorn, mini donuts with assorted dips, Kiwi classics from the lolly shop, and our Chef’s personal recommendation for afternoon tea is the Kapiti ice cream waffle cones.
Finish your meeting with a selection of unique and exciting canapes along with cocktails on the terrace overlooking the 18th hole.
The event experiences What makes this resort a standout, aside from its estate acreage so close to the city, is the unique range of experiences on offer to add interest to your day’s agenda. There’s floating golf on the pontoon, lawn petanque and the entertaining and challenging mini-Olympics. The area comes complete with tennis courts, rugby field, fly fishing and walking treks – all just moments away from your meeting. Or take advantage of the championship golf course with a friendly competition to see which delegate has the longest drive.
The accommodation For complete comfort, the rooms are a perfect retreat following a long day of productive meetings. The elegant Rooms, Suites and Villas welcome privacy, relaxation and refined entertaining for up to 140 guests.
