This motel was just lovely. Across the road from a lovely park and all the autumn trees it was amazing. Motel was clean and nice. New owners who are very friendly. Close to town. Would recommend anyone staying in Blenheim to stay there. More

I arrived late afternoon at Blenheim airport and drove to town looking for a 2 nights accomodation when I passed Lugano Motor Lodge. I was very lucky and pleased that just minutes before somebody had to cancel there booking. I picked the last room. Blenheim is not a hot spot but a friendly and nico local town, great to explore...

My husband, his parents and I stayed here for two nights in April 2012 while we were on holiday. I had booked a one-bedroom room via their website a few weeks prior and the owners were very quick to respond and offered a larger room if we wanted it. On arrival, the room was spotlessly clean and had a well... More

Lugano Motor Lodge is a good central town location with all the facilities to be expected in a 4 star plus motel. We chose an Executive room and I dont think we would have wanted to go to a lesser room than this. The executive room has a separate bedroom at the back - a bit quieter from the street... More

Great place to stay, two couples stayed in a roomy 2 bedroom apartment. Very friendly Tony and Brenda own the motel and will give you a very warm welcome. Few mins walk from a big supermarket and the town centre. Overall really happy with our stay here! More

We were a bit uncertain where to stay when visiting the top of South Island, and eventually chose Blenheim as we secured a very cheap flight to Wellington compared to Nelson - and whilst I'm sure Nelson is great, Blenheim was a very pleasant surprise. Blenheim may not be a tourist hot spot but this and Picton with the nearby... More

Excellent motor lodge on Seymour Square - walking distance to town and close to restaurants. Friendly and hospitable managers and the cleaning ladies were great too - nothing was too much trouble. We stayed as a group for a wedding and enjoyed sitting outside in the sun Although I'm not a smoker they do cater for those who do with... More

We stayed in this motel because it was within 6k of our winery bicycle tour. We weren't expecting much, the price was right and the location was good. Our expectations were greatly exceeded! The staff was extremely friendly and recommended a great place for dinner within walking distance. They even lent us an umbrella because it was raining outside and... More

From the warm greeting at reception, the restaurant recommendations, beautiful suite, location and general ambiance it would be hard to ask for more. We stayed in room1 which is a ground floor one bedroom Suite, with kitchenette, eating table, living room, bedroom and nicely done bath with a large two person Jacuzzi. Everything was clean and inviting and we throughly... More
