    A very comfortable, clean and quiet motel with the loveliest staff! A great spot for accessing the river path and a quick walk to everything you could want.

    10MichelePosted on: 7-11-2025

    This is a great, centrally located motel, with a lovely view of the river. The rooms are quite large, and the kitchenette had everything I needed for my stay. The owners are amazing - this is Maori owned and operated - they made my stay an exceptional experience. I will always stay here when I visit Blenheim.

    A comfortable and very spacious room and a bathroom big enough to play tennis in. The motel is a short walk from the pretty town of Blenheim, with its numerous restaurants. Facilities were modern.

    Great location, river and park view and walking distance to town. Spacious unit, large comfortable bed, kitchenette and excellent shower over spa bath. Parking was tight to access, but there was always a bay.

    7JennyPosted on: 4-4-2025

    The motel was quite noisy and not a pleasant area with traffic, emergency siren going off in the night and hoons driving around but the room was spacious, albeit dated. Walking distance to shops and eateries. Parking on site. Nice view of the river from our room.

    7KevinPosted on: 4-2-2025

    A little bit noisy.
