5/5 Excellent
"Would highly recommend this Hotel. Beautifully clean, very comfy beds and good size bathrooms. Very close to town and supermarket just over the road. Nice and quite too.

"Very nice and convenient place. The room is spacious and clean. The breakfast buffet is quite rich, well, definitely not cheap either. One thing needed to note, the bed is too soft. Someone likes it but not my type since my back can’t handle it."

"This is probably the nicest hotel in Blenheim. Very much enjoyed our short stay. Beautiful room and helpful staff who could not have been nicer.
We had emailed a few weeks prior asking for an early check in as we were arriving early and almost immediately being picked up for a wine tour. We didn't hold outmuch hope for this but were very pleasantly surprised and impressed when indeed they had made sure the room was ready for an early arrival. It made things very convenient for us and made our stay there so much more. Thank you. "
