Grove Park Motor Lodge is located in Blenheim, 24 minutes' drive from Picton Ferry Terminal and 3-minute's drive from Blenheim Station and ASB Convention Centre. Free private parking is available on site. Very clean room and the staff was phenomenal. I was having a little problem with the rental car and the manager walked over with me to the garage across the street to help get it fixed. The other manager moved my car to the parking spot by the room and carried my heavy bag into the room for me. The room was very nice and had everything we needed. These people went above and beyond to do anything to make our stay the best.
