Stayed at the Raymar for a night in early April 2013. Used Booking.com to book and was greeted by the manager and shown to the room. Room was clean and tidy. It backed onto the main road and was pretty quiet considering. It is a budget motel so if you are looking for a place to sleep and move on... More

We also booked in July 2012 for Easter 2013, received an email on the 18th March stating Raymar is no longer able to accommodate you for Easter. I rang and couldn't get a satisfactory answer as to why we were cancelled; their reply was "the public can cancel, so why can't I". We have minded Motels for 10 years and... More

Well if you are felling in a good mood, you might come here. but when you do there will be no one to greet you, and you pick up the key to this 1970's place from the office if you can find it. I let the next three guests in myself after arrived . Don't want Internet unless you are... More

Staying in Blenheim was not something we had planned for our Christmas holiday, but a mechanical emergency changed things a bit. We found and booked the Raymar on an accomodation website an hour before we arrived. I thought that it was a bit odd that there was no one there to check us in etc. When we rang the owner,... More

Walls are paper thin, so don't expect to get any sleep during the night. The unit was clean, but dated, and the fridge is one of the many noises that will keep you awake during the night. Bed was comfortable. Not worth the price.

Recently refurbished, Raymar was a comfortable, central two day stay for us. The Owner was pleasant and helpful and the facilites clean and warm. We travel extensively and know whats good or bad. We found this Motel in the Lonely Planet as a recommended stay and were not disappointed.

The room was basic very nice and good value for money. The owner was friendly and informative. TV was a bit old and small but hey, it was just an overnighter

Where do I start, we arrived and no one was here called the number provided and was told to take keys off the hook and let ourselves in. Was also less than pleased to see my credit card details sitting on the desk pad for anyone to see. Rooms were not overly clean, linen was awful and it was so... More
