My husband and I stayed here with a group of fellow pilots when we attended the Omaka Classic Fighters Airshow over the Easter long weekend. Our hosts, Doug and Dorothy are such lovely and inviting people and they made our stay an absolute pleasure. Between us we booked 3 units, and we could not fault any one of them. So... More

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and the Classic Fighters Warbird Show. It is handy having the supermarket over the road, and we are looking forward to the opening in August of the Speights Ale House (family restaurant) next to the supermarket carpark. We trust that you enjoyed... More

We stayed here for two nights while traveling with friends in the South Island. Great location for all the sightseeing we did. A nice grocery store across the street. We bought food for breakfasts and one dinner. Nice to have a table that seated four. Liked having a clothesline right out back which we used. Comfortable bed. Best was the... More

Definitely needs updating to 21st century! No mixing faucets in bath or kitchen; antique cooking tools & knives that couldn't cut soft butter. Charge for wifi. Nonetheless we continue to stay year after year. The owners are wonderful, the property spotless, & Springlands shopping a few steps away. The best unit in our opinion is #6 (we've been in most...

I won't repeat other TA reviewers comments - just to say I agree and would happily stay here again. Main bonus was the proximity to the huge supermarket opposite, the cleanliness of the room and the location.

The motel is on the outskirts of Blenheim on a busy road. However the way it is set up the suites do not hear the street noise as offices laundry garden and spa are all between rooms and the road. The staff where extremely helpful and every thing worked in our rooms. Over the road was a supermarket and just... More

I was given a warm welcome at Sundowner where I have stayed once previously. I don't drive but the Springlands shops are just across the road, with Blenheim central only a 15 minute walk away. I specifically needed to be in the Springlands area as I was visiting a friend locally who was having an 80th birthday. The unit was... More

Part bottles of alcohol are left in motels on a regular basis and we at the ASURE Sundowner Motel discard these after the guest has departed. I acknowledge the fact that your wife rang in the afternoon of the day of departure, even though not one of the guests, but the unit had already been cleaned and the alcohol dispensed... More

Last time we were in Blenheim, we stayed in the centre of town and didn't enjoy it so this time chose a motel based on Trip Advisor reviews. Springlands is close to the expansive and beautiful Pollard Park and the Marlborough Tennis Club. The motel itself is directly opposite a small but purposeful shopping centre which includes a Countdown supermarket,... More

Doug and Dorothy could not possibly be more helpful, this is the second time I've stayed here and I couldn't imagine going anywhere else in Blenheim to stay.
