Our 2 night stay in Blenheim was made more enjoyable because we had chosen this great motel. Owners Peter and Shona were incredibly friendly and informative, as well as really approachable. Our motel room was at the back of the block, away from the main road, and we had a car-port right outside our room. The room was really clean... More

We stayed at the Colonial for two separate nights as we travelled south, then back north on the South Island. We booked the second night following our first experience.

The Manager was extremely helpful and we... More

Comfortable room with shared balcony, well equiped kitchen but the room not as spacious as some. The management were very friendly and helpful.

Motel provides a good base for visiting vineyards. Try hiring a bike for the day... More

Warm welcome, clean enough, but the traffic noise was horrific. I am a fairly light sleeper, so when travelling I usually take a sleeping pill. I would have needed a sledge hammer here. Nothing worked. Even my partner, who sleeps through thunderstorms had a restless couple of nights. I'm sure that double glazing would help, I did mention it. Otherwise... More

The rooms were comfortable. We stayed in family accommodations that had two rooms and one foldaway bed. The motel had lundry facilities with an "honor" box, so no need to worry about having the correct change and they had plenty of outdoor lines and clips for our clothing. More
