Alisca P. Business - 8/2/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

The food is some of the best around. The steak was so good I had on several nights. The hotel is ok. The hot water system is the thing bringing the whole hotel down! The hot water in a single shower has more seasons then melbourne weather no matter if you add cold water, straight hot, shower out of peak times or even at 3am. Do not expect an enjoyable shower expect an extremely variable temp no matter what.

Dear Alisca, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay at Shadow Play by Peppers. While we are delighted to hear you enjoyed our friendly team, convenient location, and especially the steak from our restaurant, we are sincerely sorry to learn that the inconsistent hot water significantly impacted your stay. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused. We understand how frustrating this must have been, and your feedback has been shared with our maintenance team as we continue to investigate and improve the hot water system. As a valued ALL Platinum member, we truly appreciate your loyalty and your honest feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide you with the experience you expect and deserve. Kind regards, Nico Mackintosh Acting General Manager
