A venue with that holiday feeling: Peppers
Enter a resort-like atmosphere when you host an event at this captivating Clearwater venue.
Shimmering lakeside expanse, sweeping emerald-green grass, and guests that can’t quite believe they’re not on holiday. That’s the experience on offer at Peppers Clearwater Resort, where everything lives up to the name. From conference to cocktail party, this is where events escape beyond the restrictions of four walls.
With a capacity of 130 delegates theatre-style and sensational catering where Canterbury produce is the cornerstone, what does the event process look like? “The client tells me what they want, and I make it happen,” laughs conference manager Meg Lee, who spends a lot of her time in such magical surroundings. “There are no parameters. We’re here for whatever the client needs.” Anything is possible.
The picturesque setting makes Peppers an ideal contemporary conference venue for corporate retreats, meetings, team building events, seminars, special interest groups and product launches. Plus, a premium 18-hole Championship golf course becomes your backyard.
Events your way
A round of golf, game of tennis, a walk by the water, or inside a function room, events and meetings can look however you want them to at Peppers Clearwater. “No two meetings look the same,” says Meg. Below, a snapshot of all the elements that sets Peppers apart.
Function rooms: Four unique, flexible rooms come with spectacular lake views. The Kaikainui Room boasts floor to ceiling windows, while meeting rooms on the first floor of the clubhouse overlook either the 18th hole or the lake and the Southern Alps. In the Members Library, French doors open onto a deck with a spectacular vista (it’s a favourite for small private dinner parties for up to 40 guests and cocktail parties).
Dining: Cocktail parties overlooking the 18th hole, gourmet banquets for up to 120 guests or simple working lunches, Peppers’ Lume Restaurant can prepare menus and cater for any event. The menu is complemented by a wine list showcasing award-winning New Zealand wines. Guests are also invited to wind down and indulge the extensive cocktail list at the intimate Sprig Bar.
Accommodation: Guests can be accommodated in rooms, suites and villas built to beautiful boathouse design with lake or fairway views. The elegant lakeside accommodation has privacy and is relaxing, the perfect retreat for delegates following a long day of meetings or nuptial-celebrating family members.
Team building: Discover a diverse range of team building activities located on site, ranging from nine to 18 holes of golf, putting and longest drive competitions, tennis, and rugby, all just moments away from the meeting place.
Location: Between its serene on-site setting and proximity to Christchurch Airport (seven minutes) and the central city (20 minutes), Peppers is where the best of Canterbury landscapes meets city convenience.
