Amazing service!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 15 Dec 2015via mobile
Stayed at Montana Lodge for one night at the end of a VERY long 32 hour journey from London. After 3 flights and very little sleep we were cranky and couldn't wait to have some food and rest. Pete and Mag went well out of their way to make our stay very comfortable! They had moved our room to one that was tucked away from any source of noise as well as being a little bigger so we could spread out and sort our luggage out after the long trip. They also went well out of their way on several other occasions to help us out, not because they had to but because they genuinely wanted to help. As well as excellent help from the staff, the room was spotless and very clean!

It's easy to host guests when you have all the details. Life is to short to make it complicated. It is enjoyable to host such responsive guests. Have a safe journey

The Montana Lodge Motel was chosen because of it's closeness to the township and Supermarket. It was also priced at an economical price. The owner was very pleasant on arrival giving all information as to what we could see in the area as well as showing me the laundry facilities etc. The unit was clean and tidy with a good comfortable bed. The owners are presently upgrading all the units which should be completed by Christmas. Highly recommend staying. The price is right.

Room tip: The right hand side would get more afternoon sun.

We love making our guests lives easier. Blenheim / Marlborough has a lot to offer and if we can make it easier for our guests to find their way around then that's what we enjoy doing. Great tips on unit preference. It's always nice to host nice guests.

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.
