Top Linkwater Hotel Reviews

Harbour View Motel

8/10 Good

"Nice spacious room, some features a little out dated, but perfect for an overnight trip. Loved having a full sized kitchen to cook in, plenty of space, and beautiful views."

Carnmore Chateau Marlborough

10/10 Excellent

"Loved that we got an upgraded room which was really nice. Food in the restaurant was very nice staff very helpful and friendly. The only downside was carparking. I think you should get a numbered designated carpark with your room. Sometimes it is nice to go elsewhere for dinner but when you come back usually someone has taken your park. We had to leave our car outside on the road quite some distance from our room on the Saturday night."
