Only about 8 years old this motel felt modern with pleasant furnishings. Spotlessly clean, and great location. Easy walk into CBD, also nearby restaurants. Easy access to other parts of Blenheim. Owner was friendly and helpful.

We stayed for 3 days 2 nights and initially booked a studio room with spa bath. However, the lovely hosts Colleen & Dave has kindly upgraded usnto a 1 bedroom suite. We really enjoyed a nice spa bath after a tiring date and this is so close to everything as well! Also, Colleen lend a wee tryke to my busy boy and he absolutely loved it! Thank you for your hosting and for being amazing! Sending more luck and blessings to your business.

In urgent need of modernisation

Reviewed By dnb63

Looks great from the outside, but the interior is very tired. Its clean and tidy, but you sink deep into an old stained sofa, the bed linen is not great, and the bathroom and kitchen are pretty horrible. With an interior update, this place could be a little gem. Given the previous 2 nights we stayed in motels with modern rooms, fantastic linen and modern bathrooms for this same price, this place was definitely over-priced

Holiday stop

Reviewed By ChristchurchGeorgie

We stayed two nights here in a one bedroom unit which was very clean and comfortable. A couple of things which were impressive was the heated towel rail and decent toilet paper ( not that thin stuff that is public places). Close to centre and sunny. Would definitely stay here again.
