| Sited
on the corner of Market St north and Alfred St in sunny Blenheim's
CBD the Criterion Hotel has been trading as such since 1884. Instantly
recognizable for those newly arrived in Blenheim it has been providing
warmth, food and a good nights sleep for the weary traveller ever
since.
Designed
to cater for the working traveller as well as the casual short term
backpacker in mind, Biddy Kates Backpackers can provide employment
opportunities as well as travel advice and a booking service.
What
better place to start you morning than with breakfast in the sun?
Also a fantastic place to relax and unwind and take in the vista
as the sun drops in the western sky after a days toil in the vineyards.
The sunlover will soak it up all day long before retiring to quench
their thirst in Biddy Kates Irish Bar downstairs.
Biddy
Kates Backpackers can take the hassle out of travelling by making
sure all our guests are happy at work and happy at "home".
No need to deal with anyone else we can HELP!
We
offer a backpackers menu where you can have your meal cooked by
our friendly talented chef for just $5.00 if the thought of preparing
a meal for yourself is just too much.
Long
term rates apply and start from $115.00 per week. Each room has
a maximum of 5 other people in it (most will only have 3 others)
and also has its own shower/bath and toilet facilities so there
is no need to leave your room just to brush your teeth or have a
shower. Female rooms are available.
We
have a large common room that opens out onto the only balcony of
its kind in Blenheim where you can feel free to eat, read, relax
and refresh. Kitchen facilities are right opposite the common room
and can provide you with all what you need to prepare you own meals.
We will provide cooked rice from our own cooker if required.
