Nothing

The property was clean and tidy and very roomy. It was surprisingly quiet especially as the rail line was one side and the river walk the other side. Loved the church bells I could hear in the distance. Nice and close to town and all ammenities.

The only thing we didn’t like was the early hour (9am) that the staff appeared at your door to do the cleaning. After a quick knock and a call out they would open the door. Much quicker than we could make it to the door. A bit embarrassing if you were sleeping in. After all we were having a much needed restful holiday. I know we could have put the Do not Disturb on the door but never expected the cleaners to arrive that early.

The room was huge and the view out over the little river and park was delightful - I sat and watched the dog walkers and the ducks for ages. The kitchenette had everything you need, and the bed was comfy - very soft. When it got a little chilly outside the aircon did the trick. Every person I met was lovely - and very happy to help out with queries and assistance. I used the guest laundry that is attached to the pub in front of the motel and the machine was fast and efficient. The motel is an easy and short walk to the I-Site and train station for the Coastal railway.

Lovely large room with ensuite spa bath and nice sunlit balcony looking over the river - Waterfront. Very pleasant and relaxing, For a good meal and pleasant company the local Pub at 50mtrs was handy and the food excellent. Free snacks for the locals which we were invited to partake of, just made the evening.

Only one minor comment as this an interesting place to find, no problem, after asking a local. The address is Grove road, the main road out of Blenheim is Grove road. The motel was not on the main road as the Waterfront Motel is on the original Grove Road and set back off the main drag. Just behind the Super Liquor store that sits on the main road.

Great location and nice view of the river from the room. Easy to walk to the shops and restaurants from here, and easy to find. Very spacious room and bathroom. Friendly service. Great place to stay and I would stay there again next time I'm in Blenheim.

Nothing really, although the connected bar seemed like a bit of a dive! Other reviews have made positive comments about it but it didn't seem like the kind of place most travelers would want to go. Still, we didn't hear much noise from there, even though it was Saturday night.

Location is great. Great views out of every room, and a lovely walking track along the river. Walking distance to the main shopping area. Both rooms i have stayed in (#1 & #12) are large, comfortable rooms, and very quiet. Lisa and her staff are very friendly, and easy to deal with.

The ONLY thing I can say that is a little negative, is the water pressure in the shower is not good. If possible to have more pressure in the shower then my rating would be 10/10.

Older style motel with a very large comfortable room with a settee to sit and watch TV in the evening. Large bathroom with walk in shower. Kitchenette, air conditioning and a nice view over the river and park. Convenient hotel/pub next door for dinner and cold draught beer on tap. On site parking. Good continental breakfast to the room. Lovely staff and everything very clean.

Nothing to dislike.

Relaxed atmosphere, helpful staff.

Fittings were a little bit tired although perfectly functional. Such a shame a brilliant location wasn't taken better advantage of; overlooking the park and stream, it would have been great to have a balcony or bigger window view. There were some rooms upstairs with balconies I hasten to add; I should have looked a bit more closely at the details when booking.

Huge room staff were fabulous . We had a slight issue on arrival it was dealt with immediately with apologies and a smile . We were back late from a great wine tasting trip and , when we asked reception where we could buy snacks instead of a meal having had eaten a huge lunch, they were able to arrange delivery of a deli board from the pub next door . Could not fault there excellent service

Bit a noise from the pub but that stopped very early so I as not a problem to us at all

The property overlooked the Taylor River reserve but was also really conveniently located for access to the train station and town with all its facilities. Room was spacious and comfortable. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable, laundry was free apart from drying. I would highly recommend staying here.

Can't think of anything
