“Peppers Beacon benefits from a prime spot in Queenstown, putting the town's buzz within easy reach. I appreciate that they are equipped for both leisure and business, and apartments with in-room kitchens support longer, more independent stays. While some rooms apparently miss the mark, the penthouse suites, with their balconies and spa facilities, seem to be where Peppers Beacon truly shines.”
