Unit was a bit dated. Was dissapointed that the TV only had basic channels as very little to watch on those these days.Did have one sky movie channel and sports but not into sports and no good movies on. They need to have Netflex so people have a option of something to watch when they are just chilling on hoiliday,otherwise room was comfortable

Overall I would stay here again, but keep in mind it is an older style motel, the beds are worn and I would say the shower head needs replacing in the unit we were in, it was more like a hose. Clean and comfortable though.

Great little spot for exploring Blenheim, close to the town centre but plenty quietly enough at night. Sue and Colin were very friendly and welcoming. The room was equipped with all you’d need for a short stay. The bed itself was comfortable and the room spotless. I would recommend!
