Resort
Clearwater offers more than beautiful homes, it’s a lifestyle shaped by natural beauty and high-quality amenities. The resort is home to a championship golf course, practice facilities, and the lakeside Peppers Restaurant and Bar. Tennis courts are also available within the grounds. Residents enjoy direct access to the neighbouring Groynes reserve, with its peaceful walking trails, picnic spots, and open green spaces, perfect for outdoor time with family or friends.
The Clearwater Golf Course is the centerpiece of the Clearwater Resort community, a world-class layout that combines challenge, beauty, and a true sense of place. Opened in 2002, it has quickly become one of New Zealand’s most celebrated golfing destinations.
Set against a backdrop of shimmering lakes, meandering streams, and wide-open fairways, the course offers variety and strategy at every hole. From long, demanding par fours to risk-and-reward opportunities, Clearwater delivers a test that keeps golfers coming back.
Beyond the course itself, superb practice areas and resort facilities ensure every moment is a pleasure, whether you’re warming up for a round, perfecting your short game, or simply enjoying the resort lifestyle.
Just minutes from Christchurch, Clearwater is more than a round of golf, it’s an experience at the heart of a vibrant golfing community.

The Players Lounge
After 18 holes, there’s no better place to relax than the Players Lounge. It’s where rounds turn into stories, and golfers turn into mates.
Settle into the comfort of leather couches by the glow of the gas fires during crisp winter days, or head out to the deck in summer for an ice-cold beverage as the sun sets over the lakes. With its mix of warmth, style, and laid-back energy, the Players Lounge is the heart of Clearwater’s golfing community.
More than just a clubhouse, it’s where the game continues, in conversation, laughter, and connection.
The lounge is available for use by members of the golf club only. If you are not a member, the club offers residents a social membership allowing access to the lounge and on-site tennis courts.
At the heart of Clearwater, Peppers Hotel offers a stay and dining experience that’s as memorable as the setting itself. Wake up to views of the lakes and fairways, then step into a world of refined comfort and warm hospitality.
The award-winning Lume Restaurant sets the standard for relaxed yet sophisticated dining. With sweeping views across the golf course and lake, it’s the perfect backdrop to indulge in fresh, seasonal dishes. A highlight of the menu is the locally sourced Peter Timbs beef fillet, a showcase of Canterbury’s finest produce, perfectly paired with an extensive New Zealand wine list.
Right next door, the Sprig Bar provides a more casual retreat, ideal for sharing drinks with friends, enjoying an evening cocktail, or winding down after a day on the course.
From elegant dinners to laid-back gatherings, Peppers is more than a hotel. It’s a place where Clearwater’s luxury, flavour, and community all come together.
