MoPars In Blenheim

A great place to stay. Clean, quiet and friendly informative proprietors. Added value being able to help ourselves to their garden (which we forgot to do) but the offer was there. Excellent value for money. Would happily stay at Montana Lodge Motel again. Thanks Marg :)

The edible garden compliments the cooking facilities provided in the units. Whether you just want to sit in the garden and relax in the sunshine or in the shade of the lemon tree, it is a great place to unwind. It pleases us too see our guests using the facilities we provide.

We stayed here for 3 nights for dog trials at Blenheim. Having dogs was not a problem. Pete was very welcoming. Well located on the main road with access in the front or from a backstreet which was really helpful to us. Clean, comfortable, warm with all the necessities we needed. Thanks heaps - we will be back again :)

We stayed 3 nights and appreciated the kind friendly service. It
is located walking distance alongside the river to the town center which
we really enjoyed. The unit was quiet and well appointed. Recommended.

Great guests, used our fabulous river walks, along the Opawa river, to walk into town. Welcome to beautiful Blenheim.

Stayed here with my husband and 2 kids (14,12) as I was walking the St Clair Half Marathon. When we arrived we got a very friendly reception and nothing was a problem. Walked into our unit that was clean and tidy the bathroom has also just been redone. Would recommend this property to anyone.
Wifi had so much free per day then had to pay.

Room tip: Ask for a off the road room. Don't leave it to the last minute to book as Blenheim has a lot of events during the year.

Great guests are easy to accommodate. The whole "feel" of the group here for the St Clair 1/2 Marathon was positive. Makes being a host easy.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Montana Lodge while away on business. The motel is impeccably clean and comfortable, it also provides great value for money. It is also within an easy walk to the town centre and supermarket.

Peter and Margaret have been extremely accommodating on the two recent occasions I have stayed here. They are great hosts; passionate about the region and gave us some great advice on where to eat and what to drink, including a great restaurant (Gramado's) which is basically across the road.

I really enjoyed my stay here and will definitely be back.

There's nothing worse than stuck in a town on business, and trying to get the lay of the land by flying by the seat of your pants. We enjoy show-casing our region and town, and if it makes someone's stay more pleasant, then that's a small price to pay. It's easy to host nice people.

If you dont want a good night sleep then stay here , needs updating for the cost {over priced}
On arival we were not impressed with the host, she was upset that we had a different price than the one she was trying to charge us [email was from her husband with the price per night} She had to let us have the room at the price the husbund gave us, she was very angray and droped a few f *** booms like it was our problem and made us feel quite upset, and uncomfortable. Would not recomed this place to anyone

Room tip: dont stay if you need to sleep or if you have to get a room at the back away from the road

We are disappointed with the tenor of this review, and when taken in the context of our other reviews, it does seem a bit disparate.
We would like to point out that the person who booked the accommodation, took the last available 2 bedroom unit in the complex on a very busy weekend, The Forrest Estate Grape Ride, over Grape Harvest. We do not dispute that our complex is on State Highway 1 and is exceedingly busy during grape harvest, which was pointed out to the person who booked the accommodation, ( not this reviewer), at the time of booking. As accommodation was tight in Blenheim, and they left it until the last moment, they went with the booking. We would acknowledge, that we do have other reviews that reinforce the rooms on the road front are noisy, consequently we are taking steps to remedy the problem with sound proof glazing etc. We are so sorry that the guest did not bring this to our attention before they checked out, as we could have addressed it then and there and tendered our apologies in person.
We do take issue with the poor ratings of cleanliness, rooms and service as these are not substantiated when looking at our other reviews.
