Pros:

We were in the new part, small rooms but well priced at $150. I wouldn't want to pay more than that. The restaurant food is stunning

Cons:

Check in was a bit of an interrogation , not the most welcoming, rather surprised by it, a bit odd as I had paid via bookings..very odd.but once in the staff we're great.

Lovely rooms for a good price if you want to pay for it
Pros:

The room was huge and it was lovely

Cons:

The food was very ordinary and very expensive! The menu could have been better for the price and the menu wasn’t to everyone’s liking!
Breakfast buffet was very disappointing! $25 a head and I went to get myself and I put full cream milk on it and the milk was warm and must have been left out for a while! There could have been hash browns and mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, different choices of eggs instead of what they had which we couldn’t work out! Pastries could have been included as well!! More choices needed for breakfast and dinner!!

Lovely and comfortable - just what I needed.
Pros:

Just about everything. I got a great deal via booking.com, and got a free room upgrade when I checked in. Very nice buffet breakfast on my final morning. I have stayed here before, and I highly recommend Carnmore Chateau in Blenheim.

Cons:

I'd have liked a toaster in the room so I could have made toast to have with my evening cup of soup.

Staff were pleasant at checkin. Room was better than expected. Quiet, comfortable and spacious. The small gym was adequate and staff were again very helpful in the morning helping with directions etc.

Cons:

It was all positive, so nothing to add here
