Owners were friendly, place was comfy. Would be great to add a few 110V outlets out by the parking for a little EV charge.

We had the queen bed and a single bed so the room is very spacious for the two of us. There’s cooking facilities with fridge and sink. Microwave oven, kettle and an electric stove as well as an electric wok are provided. All staffs are very attentive to our needs, good place to stay in Blenheim as everything is around a few to 10 minutes walk away.

Facilities were clean & very functional. The breezy air kept everything cool. Only downside was check out time was so early (10am) & mgr was unwilling to even extend until 11. He finally conceded at 10:30 tho. Overall, decent & clean place for the money.
