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.

According to the hotel reviews, it should be the best hotel in Marlborough. In fact, it's okay. Anyway, it's relatively old. There is a small fountain park outside the hotel. There are many shops and nice cafes nearby, and there is a nice restaurant in the hotel.

Really enjoyed our stay at this property. The manager/owner, Judy was so friendly and just a wonderful person to chat with. The room was large and well laid out. Extremely well appointed to suit travelers needs. Great kitchen area, bathroom, large bed, dining table and lounge chairs. Room also had Netflix. It's a smaller motel and you get a distinct feeling the owners are proud of it and go above and beyond to look after both the property and the guests. Great to see a property that offers and promotes easy self recycling options adjacent to the main office. Only a 2 minute walk to the centre of Blenheim which has plenty of shops, restaurants, cafes etc. Supermarket also a very short walk.

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!

My family of four (plus dog) stayed in a 2 bedroom unit. We had a very enjoyable time. The unit we stayed in was immaculate and comfortable. Air-con was a godsend on 30deg day! Kids enjoyed the pool and play equipment and Disney+ on the Smart TV. Grass area out back for dog to complete ablutions and dedicated dog poo bin! Also dog exercise park around the corner was very convenient. Supermarkets, bar/restaurant/cafe all a short walk away, plus walks in Taylor River reserve. We would definitely stay again. The hosts are a lovely friendly couple.

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.

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.

Some nice art work and flashes of colours in the decor. Kitchen very well set up with good sized fridge, sharp knives and salt and pepper shakers to make you feel at home. Linen and pillows were good quality and the room was sparklingly clean. Access was through a glass door in a glass wall that also had a window and next to that was the first floor balcony. So unless we had the block out curtains closed privacy was an issue and when they were closed we stopped the balcony lighting but also any breeze from the door or window Lucky there were two windows in the bedroom and one in the bathroom Eco friendly soap dispensers and quality tea and coffee as well as fresh milk provided We were comfortable in the room and the staff were very helpful and friendly

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
