    Nothing really, it was all good.

    Spacious room, comfortable bed, spa-bath, parking right outside, very pleasant host who phoned about some things I left behind and arranged for them to be picked up.

    We were on the ground floor and you could hear every footstep of the guest above us. Must have been a tradie as he woke us up at 4.30am walking, showering and banging doors. Location is not in the main part of blenhiem.

    Lovely owners and very clean accomodation on the main road

    They had a smart tv with Disney and Netflix apps installed. It was annoying to have to use our own login to use these apps and having to remember to log out before leaving, Also the TV networking was unreliable, We ended up plugging in our laptop and using the tv as a display only. This was only a very minor inconvience as I brought my laptop specifically for this purpose.

    The bed was very comfortable, having the option to sleep upstairs or downstairs was a pleasant surpise. The hosts were both very knowledgeable and friendly. Also having two heat pumps made the stay so much for comfortable. Also having cooking facilities was a bonus.

    In need of a touch of updating

    The motel was quiet considering it was on a busy road. You would need to have a car if you stay here as it’s too far to walk to the town.

    A choice of firmer pillows would be great for those who don’t like a soft pillow.

    I stayed here years ago before present owners took over and was concerned it would not be up to scratch. It was great. We had a great stay.

    The pool was a little disappointing. Rather dark and dingy and unwelcoming. The kitchen cupboards were a bit noisy - if you weren't careful they would make a heck of a noise on closing. A couple of small well positioned pads might help. Not a biggie though

    The lodge was on the outskirts of town but had many amenities close by. Staff were lovely. It was so convenient to have 2 bathrooms and full kitchen facilities. Beds were super comfy and BIG. Washing and drying facilities were great. The place was spotlessly clean . The outdoor seating and tables were a bonus

    Very quiet, spacious with lovely surroundings. We arrived after hours and they made sure we could access our motel and left the air conditioning on so it was lovely and cool.

    No issues with anything

    Great location, very friendly owners and good access for all areas of Blenheim. Room was a large family unit, two floors with a bathroom on each and two upstairs bedrooms and a queen sized bed on the ground floor. Full size fridge freezer in the kitchen. Unit was immaculately clean and well maintained. Parking directly outside the unit and easy access with a double door entryway. Fully fenced swimming pool near the unit and a nice BBQ area and access to the stream on the property (fenced), with seats for relaxing.

    My only complaint might have been access to the pool. Once the kids got in, they were in there for a couple of hours, so I didn’t have much chance to use the pool.

    The managers worked along side the staff 😊 There was a real team atmosphere. They were friendly and cheerful, too. The property was located within walking distance to a very nice cafe, a supermarket and a pub. I also enjoyed the walk just over a kilometre to the Taylor River path 🏃‍♀️❤️ Plus it looked like they had done some renovations on the bathroom and new carpet in the room, too. 👍

    Unable to think of anything we didn't like. Exceeded expectations.

    A genuine kiwi host. Super super clean. Huge space which was really important for us travelling for seven days of sport.
