Clean and comfortable

Clean, with all the amenities you could need. Nice staff, and a very comfortable bed. Perfect for me. Upon arrival, there was a note on the reception door to contact the owner manager, with a cell phone number. I would just suggest that they also include another means to communicate, such as WhatsApp, or an email address. As a tourist, I did not have cell phone service in New Zealand, but had data service and was able to communicate with places through WhatsApp and email. Fortunately, the dry cleaners right down the street allowed me to use their local cell phone to call the number.

Great digs in a great location

Great accommodation in a great location, just a short walk from the town and a short drive to the station or airport. The host was very helpful, with luggage and arranging onward taxis to the airport.

Nice, reasonable lodging

Our room had reasonable space for a short stay & a kitchenette that was nicely provisioned. It was also nicely located for our area-interest (1/2 day wine tasting tour). And it's within short driving distance to a few restaurants.

This was a quite comfortable room, about on par with a Holiday Inn Express in the USA. It wasn't the fanciest room, but everything worked and was comfortable enough, and there was even a kitchen with the basic tools we needed to make a couple of dinners. Check-in was very easy. The location is nice for exploring Blenheim, being close to downtown and a supermarket, as well as a walking trail along a river. There is a little road noise at night, but it wasn't too much of a problem. We didn't hear our neighbors at all. The internet worked fine for streaming although we didn't do a speed test. Overall, it's a very good choice for a few nights

Bathroom flooded

Upon arrival the room looked perfect but it was only after being in it we spotted a few issues. Sadly it appears to be on the corner of a bit of sketchy looking st, we had residents shouting outside in the evening/night. There were bugs in rhe kitchen in the morning when preparing breakfast and we hadn't had any windows open. But worst of all, the shower flooded the bathroom. This happened because it wasn't draining properly and there is a large gap at the bottom of the showwer door, so it doesn't seal properly. This caused a dangerous slip hazard. I tried to go to reception to get extra towels to clean it up and notify them of the issue, but despite reception hours being from 7:30am-830pm there was no one around so had to use all the towels we were given upon check in to clean it. Disappointed as we'd been impressed with the look of it and positive reviews

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy parking was and how clean the room was! But the real gem of this motel is the staff! My ferry was already a late arrival but due to weather, we were delayed by hours! The motel worked with me on both my arrival and check out times! They were kind, understanding, and flexible! I would stay here again and would recommend it to others.

Great stay.

Excellent. Ferry arrived in late and the manager very kindly made arrangements for us to check in after the office closed. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable with two different pillow choices per person. Aircon was great. Stayed 2 nights. Great stay. Would happily stay again.

We were moved from room 1 to room 6 because room 1 apparently had a “funny smell”. Turned out that room 6 was no better and smelt as if someone had closed all of the windows and doors and smoked a few packs of cigarettes. I alerted the reception whose only solution was to offer artificial fragrance sprays for the room. We declined because a mixture of synthetic chemicals and cigarettes would have been worse than the cigarette smell alone. The beds were rock hard. There were no electric blankets. My children woke the next morning with bug bites all over their arms and face. The area surrounding also felt unsafe, with various groups drinking and talking in the street into the early hours. We were glad to leave and happy our cars were still there when we woke up!
