Has one of the best views in Blenheim, nice staff and is in a handy location. Wasted potential because it needs a bit more attention to detail by clearing staff and some much needed up dates.

Huge room with heaps of amenities, including kitchenette with fridge and microwave, etc. Lovely views from the room balcony. Nice location near the train station and CBD. All in all a comfortable, convenient stay and great value for money too. This would be a fine place to settle in while touring the Marlborough Wine Trail. Regards.

Lovely receptionist and kindly let us charge our car alittle as we had been rafting on the Clarence and the car lost a lot of charge over that time. Clean rooms but an unusual odour of the bedding noticed only on going to sleep. Great location as close to city centre and all the cafes for breakfast. Again, lovely reception allowing us to leave the car on the premises while we went for breakfast. Definitely return again as the view of Taylor river is scenic makes the place stand out from other motels
