Excellent place for families who are wine tasting

Excellent find for our stay in Blenheim. We had travelled down from the North Island to meet up with our daughter who had recently moved to NZ. The two bedroom apartment was a good size to accommodate us all. Location is very close to the town and to all the main vineyards ( word of warning: book taxis early as they get very busy during the cellar door opening hours) Flat was lovely and clean and kitchen was well equipped. Laundry was available for use for your own washing . Couple of things ago heed. No aircon but fans are provided and the height of the shower head is not adjustable and is very low. No safe either but as place is occupied 24/7 that wasn’t a problem. Very friendly owner who loved to have a chat made it a real home from home

A wonderful place to stay

Check in was very relaxed and straight forward. Our host was extremely friendly and helpful, he couldn’t do enough for us to make our stay perfect. Keen to share his local knowledge of the best place to go when we needed to purchase something. Our room had everything that you could need. We would have no hesitation in staying again if we were in the area.

Excellent room

The room was spacious and well equipped. Excellent shower and nice toiletries. The host Simon was friendly and very helpful. Parking right outside the room. The area is commercial but very well located for walking into town and for the wine trail . Some traffic noise from the main road.

Awesome experience!

Such a great choice for my stay!! The owner, Simon, picked me up at the train station. My room had a little balcony, which was perfect for the additional room service breakfast. TV with Sky was the easiest to operate. And they even have punched coffee--not the instant crap you find in most hotels. Nothing fancy here, but the service is a big wow! Highly recommend!

Feeling the love and hospitality - will return!

👍 like my review! We had an amazing 2 night stay at Colonial Motel in Blenheim, New Zealand as part of our journey across the country. We chose this place due to its proximity to the Marlborough wine region and its walkability to several places including downtown! Unlike other motels, we felt the hospitality and warmth instantly from the family managing the property throughout our stay. Even though we arrived late due to a major delay of the ferry going through the rocky waters of the Cook Strait, they responded to our messages (using the Hotels.com mobile application) with understanding. After parking our car in our allocated spot, our stay in the upstairs room #10 was enjoyable. The room was very clean, bed and pillows were comfortable, bathroom had its toiletries (e.g. shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion) along with a working ventilation fan, fridge had a separate compartment for freezing, internet was optimal, outlets throughout and near the end of the bed were useful for charging, and several amenities (e.g. Nespresso, instant coffee, French press coffee grounds, tea, hot chocolate, fresh milk, cutlery, utensils, cookware, microwave, stovetop) were thoughtful. They were also next door to a laundromat along with small and big grocery stores nearby nestled with quick places to eat. Overall, we would definitely want to stay here again and would recommend it to our friends and family.
