Peppers Clearwater Resort

Much nicer than other airport-hotel options, the Clearwater, which opened in 2003, has the advantage of a rural situation, not to mention 18-hole international golfing resort facilities—and all for a very pleasing price. Set amid 186 hectares (465 acres) of greenery, golf courses, and trout-filled lakes, it’s a short drive to the airport and rooms are modern, chic, individual, and beautifully cantilevered out over the water. The hotel rooms and suites are great value, and the larger terrace apartments are perfect for long stays, sharing with friends, or families.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar and wine cellar; free airport transfers; babysitting; bike rentals; concierge; 18-hole championship golf course (home of Clearwater Classic Australasian PGA tournament); gym; room service; spa; 2 outdoor lit tennis courts; on-site freshwater fishing guide and lessons
