Colonial Motel

Colonial Motel is a 10-unit motel at 66 Main Street on State Highway 1 in Blenheim, two minutes' drive from the town centre and railway station, around ten minutes from the airport and 25 minutes from the Picton ferry terminal.

The property offers seven one- to three-bedroom units and three studios, including one with disability access. All units have full kitchens, high-speed Wi-Fi and Sky TV with more than 50 channels. Guests can use an on-site swimming pool, BBQ area, children's Wendy house and laundry facilities, and pets are welcome by prior arrangement. The Whale Trail cycleway is a three-minute ride away, with restaurants and wine bars a ten-minute walk from the property.

Colonial Motel markets itself to "families, groups, corporates and independent travellers," and its central, well-connected Blenheim location and reliable Wi-Fi make it a workable base for business travellers and small groups visiting the Marlborough wine region.
