Hi Paul. Thank you for your review to let us know that you enjoyed your stay with us. I hope your passengers enjoyed the rest of their travels around our country. We hope to see you again sometime.
This was a great choice for our family of 5. Unit was very clean and tidy and had everything we needed.
Thank you

Hi John. I am sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay with us. When talking to you both days I thought that you and your mother had enjoyed your stay even though I did put you in a studio rather than a twin studio, which I did apologise for the error which was all mine, but I did put another bed in for you and you seemed quite happy with this. I do hope that you come and stay again and have a better experience.
Super friendly staff, clean quiet and convenient location.

Hi Mark. Thank you for taking the time to post a review about your stay. Steve and I are pleased that you enjoyed it and found everything to your liking. We hope that you come and stay again sometime.
Stay & Manager were awesome. Just a wee issue with ants & cockroach the second night. These ones seem to love chocolate. Apparently Blenheim has a problem at this time of year with these creatures.

Hi. We really appreciate that you enjoyed your stay. Unfortunately, we cannot control nature’s creatures and if they are enticed in with some chocolate they will come. Hope we see you here again sometime.

I had my pet dog with me so was put in a smokers room, even though the smokers smoke outside the room still smelt of stale cigarette smoke even after spraying with perfume. The ashtray on the table is directly outside the window which was open and the ashtray had several fresh butts in it. The unit next door's ashtray was right at the door to my unit and was full of cigar butts. I understand they have separate rooms for pet friendly use but to bung us in smokers rooms is a bit off, my dog smells much nicer. The room itself was lovely, clean, well laid out and everything necessary provided and the owner a lovely lady.

Firstly, I have just arrived back from a few days away to see your review, hence the delay in my reply.
Thank you for letting me know that you found the unit to be clean and well equipped.
I am concerned that you thought that you were in a smoking room as I can assure you that all our units are non-smoking inside, but to cater for everyone (like having some dog friendly units) we do allow smoking outside the units with an ashtray on the table. This should have been emptied and cleaned during our cleaning process, but was missed, and I apologise for that.
I wish you had felt comfortable enough to talk to me about your concerns when we spoke as you were taking your dog for a walk after you had checked into your unit. If I was aware, I could have offered you another dog friendly unit, as I checked, and we did still have one available for that night.
I hope you had a safe trip home.
Basic room but clean and tidy and good sized. Set back from road, so quiet. Close to all the wineries. Helpful staff give good tips for best wineries to visit. Toilet, shower and sink all together in one big unpartitioned room.

Hi. Thanks for your review. As you have done this anonymously I cannot see what unit you were in regarding the TV service issue. If you had mentioned this at the time we could have addressed this for you.
Easy access, good parking, friendly staff, walkable into town, nice parks and walks nearby, quiet, pleasant place. Lovely room with the most comfortable easy chairs and dining chairs of the 10 motels we've stayed in so far. Spacious and thoughtful layout of the room so you didn't have t juggle things about.

Hi. Thanks for letting us know that you enjoyed your stay and found our place to be clean, tidy and handy to everything. Hope to see you here again sometime.
Room was clean and well set out.
A point for the owners. I thought your wording of two parts of your information booklet was a bit severe.
1..You must be out by 10.00am. If not we will go ahead anyway.
2...You should not leave the room unreasonably untidy ( what does this mean and who determines it?), and it should be as tidy as when you arrived??!!
Other parts very helpful.....I guess you may have had some guests who have "pushed it" in the past.

Hi. Sorry that I do not have your name. If all of the guidelines that I have put in the compendium were outlined (instead of just parts of it), I think people would find these quite reasonable. Sorry if you didn't. Enjoy your travels.
Great little motel on the main road but hardly any traffic noise. Really comfortable bed and nice shower room in our unit.
Just a ten minute walk to restaurants and shops.
Has a pool and laundry facilities
Can’t fault it

Only issue was the internet quality, not sure if it was the room or strength of internet but didn't work well.

Hi. I am sorry to hear that you had internet problems. Our new system has been working really well from the guest feedback that we have had. As this is an anonymous review I cannot address the issue of room. If you could contact us we can investigate this.
Check in was expedient, professional, friendly & helpful. The room was clean & the beds were comfortable. The hotel manager was kind enough to let us know we forgot an item in the room before we left the area. Hotel is near wineries, grocery stores, & restaurants. Highly recommend !
