Great to have a seat & hand rails in shower along with Non slip flooring in bathroom. Not enough space beside bed on wall side.

Hi Beth,Thank you for your feedback. Pleased you appreciated the safety rails etc,As the room was set up as a Twin Studio ( 2 beds single & Queen ) restricts space a wee bit.We do have Studios with only Queen Bed and accessibility shower that would have more room.Ask for that if you would prefer.Cheers,Colleen & Dave

Hi Keri,Thank you for your review. It feels like you have no privacy, coz you can see out but the windows are tinted and nobody can see in...... unless you have a light on..........oh wish I realised and had mentioned it to you. Love to see you again & maybe move you down the back a bit. Let me know when you are coming & i will see what I can do : )Cheers,Colleen & Dave

Amazing customer service
This review might seem strange as we never actually stayed at the Centre Court Motel, but bare with me. I had booked a room as a stopping point from Diamond Harbour on the way up to catch the ferry across to Wellington onroute to Auckland to catch our flights home. Interislander Ferry cancelled our 11am ferry ride on Thursday at around 11am on Wednesday, leaving us scrambling. I contacted Centre Court and explained the situation and even though it was inside he 24hr non-refundable window they agreed to cancel on their end so that I recieved a refund from hotels.com. The owner Colleen was amazing by responding to my emails quickly and it was her idea to cancel not mine. As you can imagine we were stressed enough trying to figure out new travel plans due to the fact the Interislander could not get us on a ferry before our flights were scheduled to leave Auckland. That is the sign of not only good management but also the sign of a good person. Thank-you Colleen (and Dave) for relieving some stress on an already very hetic day. I am sure we will return to this beautiful country again someday and I will make a special note to come stay at your place for sure. Thanks again.

Short stay in Blenheim.
Our room was just what we needed for a short stay in Blenheim. Colleen was so welcoming. The motel is walking distance to the town center but away from the noise. There is a very good Asian restaurant, Bamboo Garden, about a two minute walk away.

The owner of the establishment greets you kindly and offers you fresh milk in a glass jar. It was amazing after a long day of travel. I felt like I'd come home. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well kept. If it rains, there is rugby and cricket, as well as movies, on Sky TV. You can walk to downtown Blenheim in minutes, there's a little kitchen in the room, and a grocery store two blocks away. I highly recommend the Centre Court Motel. It far surpassed my expectations. Wow!

Was as shocked as you when you mentioned to me that this had happened when I phoned you, I apologized profusely for your bad experience ( I phoned you to advise you had left some medication in the fridge) Otherwise you would have never told me...... I offered you a discounted room rate next time & a glass of wine. We have the Spa Baths on routine maintenance. So surprised this happened. Our apologies again. Colleen & Dave

Great place to stay in Blenheim
It is a really nice little motel, it was absolutely clean and spotless. The owners of the motel were very pleasant. Nice wide parking spaces right outside the door, lovely kitchen area, microwave shower and toilet. Really nice comfortable bed. Had a little bit of road noise from road works the night we were there but that was totally out of control of the motel owners who apologized profusely the next day. That was a really nice place to stay.
