What guests think

Travellers describe Carnmore Chateau Marlborough as a centrally located base in Blenheim, ideal for exploring town and nearby wineries, with a boutique feel and a calm atmosphere that suits short stopovers and longer visits alike.

Rooms are often spacious and comfortable, though several note missing microwaves or crockery, occasional wear, and street or clock‑tower noise in some front‑facing units. Service feedback is strongly positive, with helpful, welcoming staff and good problem resolution; parking is generally easy but can be scarce when the restaurant is busy. Many enjoy the restaurant and breakfast, but reports of limited choice, slow or pricey breakfasts, and a few quality lapses appear. Expect a convenient, comfortable stay near town and wineries.

Our room faced the road, so quite a bit of noise from traffic as well as clock tower chimed each 15mins. Blinds instead of curtains on 2 of the windows allowed a fair amount of street light in. The pool was great. Person on reception showed me the area and got me a pool towel. Staff generally extremely friendly and helpful.

You’ll have a relaxing stay at this hotel. They were very accommodating and gave great suggestions of wineries and restaurants. We actually were upgraded to a room with a balcony. (I booked through Expedia). They have all the amenities you could ask for— great pool with bar, a small gym etc. It was very walkable to restaurants and shops in town.

Was probably expecting more due to the name of the hotel. A chateau it is not. But it is a very comfortable little hotel. Staff good, friendly and helpful. The place was busy this Saturday night which was great for the hotel BUT because it has a popular restaurant which is open to the public this created a car parking nightmare. What I expect as a paying guest is a spot on site to park as there are a lot of Parks but the restaurant customers took a great amount leaving us and other staying hotel guests with none. I know it was at capacity because of diners as I left 6am the next. Or king and miraculously there were tons of open spaces. I suggest strongy that parks are for hotel guests and dining public park on the street. Easy to manage with signage. I wasn’t the only guest who was frustrated with this. This would be the sole reason I wouldn’t stay again as it made it a painful experience that it didn’t need 5o be.

The room was very small,yet was advertised as superior.The bed was dreadful, saggy and uncomfortable, the shower was DANGEROUS. The shower rose attachment did not fot the connection and fell off as soon as the shower was turned on or off making it impossible to shower unless holding the shower.There was a glass shelf in the shower that could break as shower fell. As the price was reasonable at $114 for the night, it felt like you got a very poor room for a 4 star hotel. Restaurant prices were very high for ordinary sounding fare. We would not recommend this hotel.

Shower was absolutly horrible, and the extraction fan in the wall is rediclously loud and fixed to the light switch being so you cant turn it off seprately which sucks when there is no window in the bathroom. Other than that nice tidy room, but not worth what we paid and no way a 5 star property.

Wonderful front of house staff. Arrived before check-in but they helped me out. Room was good - a little tired but modern by bed charging points including MagSafe lamp. Nice shower products. Good coffee bags - Jed. Restaurant was perfect for evening meal. I went out for breakfast as plenty of options in town which is minutes away on foot. No shuttle offered from Blenheim airport - I am sure I saw that in a review - perhaps it was out of season. I forgot to ask. Great for one night before I met up with friends in another accommodation.

Good hotel, but not what we consider 5 star luxury. Feels like more of a 3.5-4 star. So still good. Room was spacious. Bed very comfortable. Excellent shower. Restaurant was OK. We had dinner on the first night. Found two skewers still left in the fillet mignon which was a very unpleasant surprise. Almost swallowed the first one which would have meant a trip to A&E! Told the staff who said sorry but that was it. Thought they may have taken a bit off the bill or offered a free coffee or dessert. Decided after that to eat elsewhere in town.
