Not cheap and not that cheerful
After reading other reviews I knew this was located in a rather unusual spot which first put me off but once in the room the view from the room over the river was very nice. The room is a very generous size which was great. However the room decor is a bit tired (the new curtains were nice though) and furnishings appeared a bit grubby probably because they were old and well worn. I did however find the cups supplied to look dirty (probably because old too) so I went and brought 2 cups from the local warehouse (for only $3 so I think the motel should consider investing in new ones too as not a huge outlay). Another issue was the limited parking and the fact the motel people parked their large van in one of the few easier to get to parks which made it not great for guests - The motel own the pub in front so could have easily parked their large van in the free parks there instead of making motel customers park their car on the street. Room rate was too high for the standard of accommodation given but Blenhiem has a bit of a trapped market so to be expected I guess. With a bit of a refresh with new couch, bedspread and crockery this place could be a much nicer place to stay.
