Best Blenheim Hotels

We arrived at the Waterfront Motel in Blenheim New Zealand and were pleasantly surprised to discover that the Motel was attached to a Hotel. Bingo! The weather had turned inclement and rain was most welcome to the thirsty soil in the districe. It rained for three days, the whole time we were there. It didn't dampen our spirits because we were warmly welcomed by the host Lisa and the hotel staff and we felt like a part of their family. Everyone was wonderful. Our room was large, very comfortable and warm. the hotel was a very short walk from our room. The menu was imaginitive, well presented, full of old fashioned home cooked flavour and delicious. The beer was cold, the Marlborough wine choices were excellent. Nothing was ever any trouble to them. The bar staff remembered our drink choices, our names and wanted to know about us!! We were just two little 80 plus year olds holidaying on their magnificent Island and we were treated as if we were very important people, not just a number in the rank and file of travellers who passed their way. . A big shout out and THANK YOU to Lisa and the staff at Waterfont Motel Blenheim.

The location is just next to saymour Square, it is very convenient to walk to the town center, the typical British red brick exterior wall structure, the service staff is very friendly. The room is large, the breakfast is expensive, and the room does not have free drinking water and toiletries. It is very convenient to travel to several famous wineries.

We might have had the best room in the motel. so spacious and well decorated with my favorite red in the comfortable furnishings and situated right next to a beautiful, burbling brook looking like a mini botanical garden. The pool, tucked among shady trees and masses of colorful flowering shrubs was wonderfully refreshing for daily laps. The bed was excellent with just the right comforter, and the fridge was the best I've found in a motel along with an easy to work microwave. The kitchen was perfectly equipped and meals were so pleasant on the elegant glass dining table. The huge bathroom was a treat as well with a fine shower and big window. We enjoyed the sunny, breezy private patio too, perfect for quickly drying swimsuits,and washing bits. We couldn't have had a nicer stay!

The hotel is located in the downtown area of Blenheim, the capital of Marlborough Province, the famous white wine producing region of New Zealand. It is within 10 minutes walking distance from Blenheim railway station, bus station or downtown square. There are plenty of parking spaces in the hotel square, which is very convenient for walking and driving. The hotel rooms have a wide view and beautiful scenery. Although the rooms are a bit old, all the facilities and bedding are very tidy, clean and comfortable. All the staff are smiling, patient and enthusiastic. The hotel offers three meals a day, the menu is not extensive, but the food quality and taste are excellent. We stayed for two days. The experience was excellent and the price/performance ratio was very high. Going to a hotel not to be missed in Blenheim, highly recommended!

Customer service and communication was excellent, the room was spacious and exceeded expectations, it had everything I needed to have a comfortable stay for the two weeks I was in Blenheim for work. It is a very short distance walk from the supermarket, restaurants and other stores in the centre of the town which makes it in a very convenient location. I will definitely be staying here again the next time I am in Blenheim.

Have stayed here for several years with a group on an annual trip. - Staff great & very welcoming, very comfortable beds. Swimming pool & large outdoor area for relaxing. Close enough to walk to town but also supermarket, takeaways & pub etc nearby.

Stayed for one night and overall it was quite comfortable. Although it is not in the center of town, it is only ten minutes' walk from the intercity station and train station, and a few minutes' walk is the commercial area. If you don’t have much luggage, you can walk there. The kitchen can be used for cooking and is very clean. In the camping area behind the hotel, you can take a walk after dinner and study various RVs, which is an eye-opener. Blenheim is too young. I learned that there are no buses on weekends after I arrived. The popular museums and chocolate factories in the area are far away without driving. It took me 70 minutes to get to the museum. Fortunately, an employee of the museum sent me back to the hotel after get off work, otherwise I would have to go all the way back.

Very close and within easy reach of the the major supermarkets and some very good restaurants.

First of all Motel is spotless with great interior, Full bottles shampoo, conditioner and body wash not just one use option, lollies in a jar, many channels on TV, close to town, Very accommodating staff, But icing on cake they let a staff member leave a vehicle at the motel for a whole month as we couldn’t get it on the ferry. I arrive to finally pick up van and catch ferry and they had made sure the started it often so battery wouldn’t be flat. We always use this motel for our business but this is the first time I personally have stayed , I was blown away, Thanks Aston Court
