We had a great stay at Lugano motor lodge! Great location within walking distance to New World grocery, the Warehouse and the various dining places. The parking is easy and the lady at the front desk is super friendly and helpful! She even gave us a bottle of creamy milk for our coffee when we checked in. She stayed until 7pm till we finished our laundry. Across the lodge is the beautiful Seymour Square where we took a morning walk after breakfast before heading out. The room is clean with dishes microwave and a small fridge, convenient for housing our groceries. The bed is super comfortable and we had a good night rest. We recommend this place for safe, convenient and comfortable road trips in the South Island!

Friendly Stay in Blenheim

Excellent place to stay in Blenheim—clean, comfortable rooms, with easy access to all the Marlborough wineries. They also had a Netflix guest pass for the TVs in the room (though the wifi was a bit slow at times). The hosts were around whenever we had a question: they were very nice and friendly. Bonus: we met their two little kittens and they were happy to have us hang out with them. Nice and charming little spot perfect for our two-night stay in Blenheim.

Blenheim Wine tour and roadtrip rest stop

Clean motel with adequate space, clean and comfortable room and centrally located. However, Negative points. Paper thin walls ensured we got to experience our neighbours watching ‘Strangers Things’ full blast at 3am. The room was boiling hot because the AC didn’t work. WIFI was unreliable from 6pm onwards.

A great place to stay

A very good experience checking in. Got an upgrade which was great. The room was large, lounge living area, and two seperate bedrooms. The athroom was large with a very good shower and a seperate toilet which is most unusual for this type of place. All was clean and well stocked. The manager was helpful, friendly, and a had a great sense of humour. Very good experience over all
