So close to town, everything was 2-3 min drive or easy to walk to. Modern, clean, and comfortable. Everything we needed for a weekend stay where we weren't planning on spending it at the motel. Just a good, convenient and nice place to sleep. Room was a nice decent size and bed was comfortable. It also looks like it'd be great for disability accessibility if that's a concern for anyone.

It looks to be one of the smaller motels around, so everyone is quite close by. Also, a shower cap would be the cherry on top.

Loved it! We had room 3 was spacious, the heater worked well and the kitchenette was excellent and well equipped, piping hot shower with great pressure, easy parking, such a comfortable room and bed, tv worked, loved staying here, laundry was handy and affordable and worked well too, everything was clean and well presented too, quiet room aswell, highly recommend staying here.

Small thing but the artwork above our bed really need a good dust.

Very clean and tidy, room was spacious and didn’t feel cramped. Great location and easy access to town and supermarket. Free car parking and staff/owners were wonderful people, very kind!

Only downfall was our room didn’t have air conditioning. The upstairs room had a small balcony with a ranch slider that we were able to leave open for more air flow but it was still slightly uncomfortable with the lack of airflow and no air conditioning available

Loved that we could just relax easily, and come and go whenever we wanted. For two sisters sharing it was a lovely big room, a bed each although we had to toss for who got the single and who the double! Layout was great too with kitchen area at one end. Location was excellent. Generally felt modern, clean and well cared for.

Heard a bit of noise from upstairs unit…only one night and didn’t disturb sleep.

Location, just a short walk from the town centre and the river walk. Perfect for parkrun tourists (our reason for stopping in Blenheim).. Good sized room with microwave.

It was a bit odd that there was a microwave, crockery, and cutlery but no sink for washing up. We used the bathroom sink. We were told that this was because we had a standard studio, so if you plan to cook, check your toom facilities.

The proximity to town was great. The staff were friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable. We also enjoyed Sky movies available on the TV. The space was great for our 2 night stay.

The room was very warm and difficult to cool down. The ac unit in the room was very loud and didn't do a great job. Washing dishes in the bathroom sink was kind of strange.

Very quiet even though close to center, big apartment, not just small room, comfortable bed, little balcony for breakfast in the morning sun, spacious and clean. Small comfort like 3-ply toilet paper is very appreciated. On my list of preferred placed when “on the road”, absolutely more than value for money.

Could not stay longer

The staff kindly offered us a large house with four bedrooms to fit our family, which we really appreciated. Our family loved staying there for the night—the area was clean and comfortable, the beds mattress with medium firm which we really liked and slept well.

The small laundry closes at 7pm, which is a bit early.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ellena Court Motel. Within easy walking distance of the town centre, easy to park, small garden area which we unfortunate we didnt get time to enjoy. The owners were very friendly and the room was spotlessly clean. The room had to be the cleanest we have ever been in, the attention to detail was 1st class, bed linen was crisp and perfectly arranged, it was obvious that a great deal of attention to detail had taken place. Our host recommended a restaurant right across the road from Ellena Court for our evening meal and boy oh boy we would have to say we were blown away by the amazing food and exceptional service given by Bamboo gardens so would highly recommend you give them a try. We loved our stay so much that we are planning to come back and would stay here again without hesitation.

Clean, comfy and quiet. Has a kitchenette with 2 stove burner for easy meals. Really close to town centre, about 5-10min walk to cafes, restaurants and shopping. Has a laundry on-site site which we didn't use. Friendly staff, handy for the ferry as only a 25min drive to Picton. Has sky TV and free wifi, comfy bed and good shower. Little balcony off the lounge area to have a coffee and catch the morning sun. Would stay again.

The bedroom had a TV but only one channel worked. Didn't bother us as we were out most of the time and didn't realise until late.
