Riverlands Roadhouse Motel

We stayed here 1 night, the room was very small, just enough room to walk around the bed. It had an ensuite. Very good shower. It is modern. It is a truckstop so wouldnt expect it to be large anyway. We were put next to a Kiwicamp so was very noisy with people banging and crashing most of the night. Our room had a fridge and it was stocked with alcohol and chocolates but there was nothing to say how much it was. There was a person on site but he wasnt friendly. I would say if you stayed there take some earplugs because it is the main highway south 5 ks from Blenheim.

Our guys called in for breakfast yesterday morning and the service in the cafe by Marie was absolutely appalling. Marie should be ashamed of herself for the way in which she behaved, spoke and treated out hard working staff. We will never ever go back.

Incredible service and great rooms. Arriving at 1.30am off the ferry from Wellington we were let down by the accommodation we had booked after they didn’t leave the key out for us. We were pointed in the direction of the Roadhouse by the service station attendant at Z Energy in Blenheim. We arrived at 3am, an hour after reception closed, the duty manager was in her car about to leave and she opened up the office and sorted accommodation- utterly above and beyond. We stayed in the single cabins - well appointed, clean, comfortable and the shower was awesome. The cafe onsite does a pretty awesome breakfast as well! Highly recommend!
