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.

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!

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!

Thankyou to Kim & Sherelle, the best hostesses to help us with our needs. We turned up early morning to book in, the ladies were most hospitable to accommodate us & got one of the two rooms ready in a jiffy. The Motel is within walking distance to the township, interesting, pretty, relaxing.Our two rooms suited our needs fully. Will book again on the next visit.

We had a great room with spa. Staff very friendly and room was very clean.

Had a flight of stairs, so those with mobility issues should ask for ground floor room.

Although close to road, traffic noise was not an issue and bed was very comfortable. Great place to stay.

I paid more for a room with a jetted bath as, after a 10 hour drive from Dunedin, I thought it would be a nice luxury. Turns out the bath was broken :( Other rooms, with working baths were available but I was knowingly put into a room that had been knowingly damaged by a previous visitor. The iron was damaged and leaked water everywhere. The fridge was broken and shelves fell out. The staff I spoke with were absolutely lovely and offered me access to the bath in an adjacent room. I appreciated this but not the inconvenience. When I spoke to the decision makers, they just got defensive and didn't seem to understand where my disappointment was coming from. That said, after a long, tedious and repetitive conversation, I did get a partial refund. The main point that seemed not to get through though was that the room was not fit for purpose and, with other rooms available, should never have been offered.

The property is nice, clean, and tidy with easy parking. Unfortunately, the room was not cleaned during our stay, we had no milk provided and had to contact the manager to make our payment for the room.

Spotlessly clean, compact very well appointed unit. The smoke alarm went off at 11pm due to someone cooking in another unit, which was not ideal, but I would still reommend staying here.

This review is for our second time staying here. I have been able to work in a quiet room with fast internet. The staff are very friendly and the accommodation is very tidy and well equipped.

The manager Sanket offers fantastic customer service, even remembering us from our previous visit and always making himself available for assistance when needed.

Will stay here again.

Room was clean and had more cooking utensils available than most other Motels, only issue i had was the air freshener (mostly cause i always forget that they make me violently ill) but other than that it was a very enjoyable stay.

Highly recommend

Very friendly welcome and helpful.
Room lovely and also clean.
Had a brilliant sleep as bed was comfortable.
We were there on Friday night and closest to the street so there was the odd loud car earlier on. So some traffic noise. Didnt worry us but if a very light sleeper maybe not get a room closest to the road.
I would highly recommend and would stay again.

Most motels are used as a stopover to going somewhere else. This was worthy as a destination in its own right. Good location, friendly and clean.

Great facilities with friendly welcome

Very helpful and friendly owners who obviously take pride in the facilities. Although an older building on the outside the rooms were all recently re-fitted and include just about all the facilities you might need, including kitchenette and a generous amount of real milk, not a tine long life packet, Had a plunger, pity not the plunger coffee to go with it - instead of just instant coffee. Reasonable walk to town centre and restaurants.
