From the phone call to book through to our departure, the hosts were fantastic, friendly & made us feel very welcome. The room was really nice & clean, the kids loved the pool and we will define stay again next time we are passing through. Was also great to be able to have our wee dog stay with us in the room.
Our two-night stay at the Colonial Motel was very pleasant. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and likable and the accommodations were ultra-clean and comfortable. We especially liked the modern decor. It was peak tourist season when we stayed, and although the place was full up, our room was quiet and peaceful for a good night's sleep. We will definitely stay again, if foreign travel ever becomes a thing again....
Very friendly welcome from Peter in this classicly styled motel when we arrived for a one night stay. Reasonable size room with living, dining and kitchen areas plus two double bedrooms. The bathroom is small with shower. Kitchen has a hob, kettle, toaster, electric frying pan and fridge. The internet is very slow @ 9Mbps / 12 which was just enough for emails, but not streaming. There is however 52 Sky channels. There is a small pool next to reception and parking is outside the room. As we were nearest to the road it was quite noisy with heavy vehicles, even through the night.
We stayed at this hotel for two nights whilst visiting Blenheim, We received a very warm welcome and were given a couple of recommendations for wine tours and chose one of them for our spare day. We were staying in one of the disabled adapted rooms which had a parking space right outside for your convenience.
Peter and Shona are very nice hosts. We first stayed about 12 years and ago and have been back many times. They are so friendly and helpful. This time we stayed for four nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place is very clean.
We went on a mission north to south and back in a couple of days and we ended up booking in Saturday night. Well the owners of this motel went way beyond for us I was towing a large trailer he organized parking left lights on and set our room up heater and blankets on he even left us some chocolate fish. I cant say thank you enough for them letting us check in so late and they offered to let us drop the trailer while we went into town. We have done a lot of travel in NZ and around the world and this has to be the cleanest room we have seen along with the best service we have had
Very clean well maintained units.Rooms are a good size not small .Good facilities.. Very friendly owners. Close to supermarket. 10 minute walking distance to town and Restaurants. Because on main road can be a bit noisy at night .
We had a team needing accommodation in Blenheim recently. Peter and Shona were an absolute pleasure to deal with and could not have been more helpful. Their understanding and attention to detail was much appreciated. The team had a very successful weekend and we believe the comfortable ‘homely’ accommodation helped them achieve their desired results! Highly recommended thankyou!
In town for the recent Marlborough Food and Wine Festival, we spent two comfortable nights at the Colonial Motel in Blenheim. Located about 500 metres from the centre of Blenheim, the motel is a good base for your time here and for any driving you may want to do around some of the amazing wineries in the Marlborough region. We were in room 10 for our stay. There is a good size bed and small kitchen area in the room as well as a little table and chairs on a deck outside, which was very pleasant to enjoy the great weather we had during our stay. There is no air conditioning in the room, but two fans were provided, which we found sufficient, even thought it was the height of summer during our stay, Finally, the hosts at the motel are just lovely. They struck the perfect balance between being friendly and charming without being intrusive at all. Overall, we had a lovely few days in Blenheim with the Colonial Motel being a good base.…
Stayed in a family room which was comfortable and roomy. Has free parking and a small swimming pool. Hosts and very friendly and helpful. Ideal place to explore the Blenhiem area, especially the vineyards.
