Hi could anybody recommend a decent b&b in Blenheim,or hotel?
Not one that costs the earth...
Yes i have found a few on the internet,but one that is recommended is always nicer...(i think)
Thanks in advance......

Hi

We are newbies in Blenheim, moved out in Feb and loving it so far!

There is a B & B not far from us, looks really nice , not sure of the price though!

Called trescos:

We stayed at the Ashleigh Court Motel for a few nights when we arrived, nice and central for all that running around we seemed to do! And they had a little pool which was good for keeping a jet lagged 2 yr old awake!

Hope this helps!

I can recommend The Ashleigh Court Motel as well. Very nice rooms and you can order breakfast to be served in your room but order for one because there is enough for two. Reasonable rates. Good chinese restaurant across the way for evening meal as well.

As the others have said, Ashleigh is good and we can recommend the Lugano in town too, if I'm not too late posting this

Make sure you all pay a visit to Georgios cafe bar in town - own very good friends David and Sara own and run it - although for any interested parties, they are looking at selling now. Michael G.

Good coffee!!!!!
Heard they are off to OZ!!!!! (Very small town )

Charlie Paynter

Yes, you are correct. They have done wonders with that place since opening it a few years ago, and I often wonder why are they prepared to walk away from it. Still, I suppose Aus calls as usual!
