Parking can be tight with multiple utes that may be there. Rooms are large and comfortable. Would be nice if the rooms could have a chrome cast plugged in to each room so that you could stream your own Netflix or Disney . Have stayed before loved it then loved it now awesome stay will definitely come back.

The property was perfectly located for our stay! We went to the Marlborough food and wine Festival and the bus picked us up just two blocks from the hotel. The manager was accommodating and let us into our room early so we wouldn't be late for our event!! After the festival the pool at the hotel was nice and refreshing after such a hot day. Perfect!!

Grove is the bomb! For our short stay Grove delivered over and above! Excellent location walking distance to getting a morning coffee, best beer garden cafe that’s kid friendly and excellent pool! Despite chilly mornings we had a morning swim and ended the day with one! Clean, comfortable, chilled stay! Coupled with kids movies, comfy beds and clean bathroom and kitchen - it’s the place to stay!

Awesome stay!
Room was clean and quiet. It was hot too (it _is_ summer), but the heat pump worked great and so we ended up having a really great stay! Definitely recommend for a family or traveling alone.

We only stayed for one night, the room we had was nice and spacious for our family. The room was tidy, clean and warm. The kitchen was well appointed and easy for cooking in. We didn't visit the surrounding area as we were only passing through but it was very easy to find. The only thing for us was the road noice but we live rurally so are not used to any noise at night.

Only trouble I had was accidentally mistaking the Grove restaurant for the hotel but very quickly fixed that and got back on track. Check in was easy as, and the room was really nice, the pool was quite pleasant too and not too busy which was nice. Had some peaceful relaxation with my partner there. Would definitely come back!

Very vindictive It is disappointing when people do this .. denied lodging the review and said he did not even stay which of course is not the truth... obviously wanted to stay for nothing ...

Exceptional Stay
I was delighted with my stay. The friendly clerk gave me very good advice on what to see on the South Island. Check in took seconds. The room and contents looked brand new and very clean. Chairs and bed were very comfortable and the bathroom was excellent, especially the shower. I could not be more pleased with my stay and will definitely stay here again when in the area.

I was disappointed in that there were no land line phones in the room and unless you are on "roaming" you cannot make local calls. Also dishonest as my Down Syndrome son left his keys in the room, I was contacted by Expedia and sent $80.00 (New Zealand) dollars over to post keys back and am still waiting. Unless you use this facility only as a stop over, just keep driving by. I would not recommend this motel to anyone - especially if you are travelling with a person with special needs.

Hello Rev Topp As per my text to your phone today, unfortunately we are unable to mail your keys back internationally; which we did not know prior.As per photo in the text, I have mailed your cash back to you to your Sydney address. As for landlines, it is no longer economical to pay 55/month per landline in case someone may need to make a local call. Thank you for your review.
