Detailed Reviews
Not only is Blenheim Palms motel great value for money. It is so comfortable, friendly and has nice little touches that make you feel at home/
We were quite late to check in due to traffic on our way up, Iain made sure that we were still able to get into our room which we really appreciated.
The room was clean, smelt amazing and staff were friendly.
It would be great if there was a fan or aircon as it was quite warm at night, but we opened the window and was able to sleep just fine.
I left my laptop behind, and Anne was lovely enough to send my laptop to me. Very well packaged which i really really appreciate.
We are blown away by how lovely Iain and Anne were.

I would highly recommend this Motel given my 11 Night stay.
Management & Staff were very friendly and obliging.
The Studio I occupied was extremely clean, well presented and very affordable.
In-Room facilities included a small Stove, Microwave, Toaster, medium size Refrigerator, Pod Coffee Machine, Crockery, Cutlery, Glassware and the most comfortable Bed.

This was a great place to stay in Blenheim. Reasonably priced. Lovely reception/owners on the desk when i arrived. Beautifully clean and tastefully decorated unit. It was equipped with all the necessary kitchenette utensils, a heatpump, and bathroom amenities. I particularly liked that there was an extra power point by the beside table. However, the aspect I appreciated the most staying at this motel (having stayed at 4 others nearby), was the lack of traffic noise. The motel is easy peasey walking distance to Blenheim mainstreet shops, supermarket and restaurants/cafes.
My only con is the air freshener aromatics in my room were a bit too strong for the unit size. Easily fixed by returning them to reception.
I really like and recommend this motel and plan to stay here again when next in town.

Blenheim Palms Motel is a well appointed with all we need, clean and tidy. Although it is beside State High 1 we found that we did not hear much traffic. The bed was very comfortable and we had a good night’s sleep. If one improvement could be made it would be to add net curtains.

We stayed here for one night after arriving on the ferry from Wellington. The motel unit was very clean and well presented.
The bed and pillows were comfortable and although the unit was not large there was ample space for our needs. Good parking, short walk to the town centre. We would stay here again.

Excellent as always. The Palms is my go to when passing through Blenheim. The rooms are a good size, clean and modern. Beds are super comfy.
Service is always amazing, they’re very accommodating and will work around your schedule. I come off the midnight ferry, had only booked the room prior to my departure from Wellington. Arrived and the room was warm and ready for me.
I’ll be staying again next time I am through.

Our stay was great. Shaun and Ruth were so hospitable. We were part of a group of 18 travelling the top of the south island. All the rooms were very clean and had everything you could want. It is centrally located, and quiet as not on the main road where many Blenheim motels are. Loved the bed.

I stayed here for one night to attend a conference, complete amenities and comfortable bed. Had everything or probably more than I needed. Shaun was very accomodating and even got to play with the lovely kittens during checkin. Ordered bacon and eggs which was delicious too! Will definitely stay here if I'm back in Blenheim.
