“Comfortable and friendly service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 7, 2013 via mobile

We stayed two nights at this motel, some of the friendliest service we have had. The management always had a smile and a hello if they saw you around and check in and out were easy and pleasant. The room was very clean with even a service after only one night. Plenty of pillows and fresh towels. Great amenities meant a quick meal could be prepared which saved us some money along the way. Very convenient and close to town. Would definitely stay again if ever in Blenheim.

“Quality accommodation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

We (2 couples) stayed in a 2 bedroom unit for 2 nights. The unit was spacious, with a HUGE king-sized comfortable bed in our room. The unit was also very clean, modern and comfortable, and included a small kitchenette with all utensils supplied to cook simple meals. The bathroom was roomy and very clean with lovely soft fluffy towels. There was also a small outdoor area for our unit. Owners Ian and Chris were wonderful - very friendly and accommodating, with excellent suggestions for seeing the local area, restaurants and wineries. The motel is very well-situated - an easy 5-10 minute flat walk into town. Other friends stayed in a double room which had a spa - perfect for recovering after doing the lovely Queen Charlotte Sound Walk. Would definitely stay here again.
