Commodore Court Motel was taken over by Linda and Steve in September 2018 and we have done a lot of refurbishment to the complex. Our accommodation is great for couples, families, corporates, sporting groups, school groups, golfing trips (with 6 courses within 30 minutes), senior groups (all units are on the ground floor and we have two access units available). Your pets can have a holiday too – PRIOR ARRANGEMENT ONLY We offer clean, comfortable and affordable accommodation that makes a good base for our guests to explore all that the Marlborough region has to offer. We are situated 5 minutes from the airport, railway station and the central shopping centre of Blenheim. With the Marlborough wineries only minutes away, you can visit these and come back, relax and have a swim in the pool. Very close to us is also the Marlborough Sounds, Picton, Nelson, Kaikoura and many other wonderful sites and attractions to enjoy. All you have to do is ask at reception when you arrive or have a look at the Marlborough Attractions and Events pages on our website if you want to plan ahead.

On a busy road but we didn't hear any noise. Very friendly lady owner, good sleeping, kitchen and bathroom facilities. Lovely pool which we would have loved to use but temps not yet warm enough for a dip. Quick drive to a pub and Chinese Takeaway, and supermarket

Linda immediately made us feel welcome and gave us some suggestions of places to visit locally and on the South Island. The accommodation was scrupulously clean and very well laid out. It was like a home from home Laundrette was very handy even an iron set up ready to use There was a lovely fenced area with a pool, tables, chairs in a shaded area and some grass in the sunshine Thank you both, we had a great couple of days enjoying ourselves All the best Neil & Denese

This is possibly the cleanest motel I have ever stayed in. Ive stayed in fancier, but never cleaner. Outstanding. And...the queen bed we got was fabulously comfy. Strongly recommended.' Its also real handy to Springlands Lifestyle retirement Village if you were visiting folks there. We would stay here again.

Really friendly reception, clean and comfortable unit with well equipped kitchen. Plenty of parking, quiet location. Lovely stay! Our unit even had a spa bath which was great after a few days tramping. The motel was recommended to us by another motel!

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.

Great place, warm friendly owners who make you feel welcome from the sign in. We have 2 big German wirehaired pointers and this wasn't a problem at all. They have lovely units specifically for pet owners, and units for people that don't, what a difference this makes. Nice swimming pool for those Blenhiem hot days. Very helpful with restaurants and cafes. We'll be back

If you are considering staying here do yourself a favour and don't. Woman was rude and unhelpful. Highly recommend the Phoenix Motel across the road. Their units were much nicer and the managers were lovely. They were dog friendly and we had unlimited internet.

Firstly, we love animals and this is why we are dog friendly by arrangement – as is most of the dog friendly accommodation in New Zealand. We have specific dog friendly units so people that are allergic can be assured that no animals were in the unit previously. This family had booked into a unit but had not mentioned anything about their dog – not at the time of booking and especially not at the time of check in when they arrived. They went to their unit and all of them (including the dog) entered the unit. They came back up to the office with our Guest Compendium which outlines our “Animals in Units” policies. If they had mentioned the dog at the time of booking or at the time of check in they would have already been given these guidelines and the Pet Rules. I am presuming this one policy was what prompted them to come to the office to tell us they had a dog. ***If you are found to have an animal in the unit without prior arrangement, you will be asked to leave immediately, and no refund will be given I tried to offer a dog friendly solution, but they didn’t want it (as it was going to cost a bit extra). The young guy shouted profanities at me. After this the older guy came to the office, leaned over the desk shaking his hands in my face "I will post bad reviews everywhere and ruin your business”. There was no point in saying anything to him because he was yelling (I didn’t really get a chance to be rude as I couldn’t get a word in). My husband was working in his shed and came out to see what the noise was and asked him to leave me alone. They did not stay but did get a refund (contrary to no-refund will be given Animals in Rooms policies). They found somewhere else to stay, but the first thing they asked before booking was “do you take dogs?” – Pets by arrangement works! P.S. All our guests have access to free unlimited WIFI on all devices when they stay here.
