Rutland Arms Inn
8.8 (90 reviews)

Rutland Arms Inn ★★★★

📍 48-52 Ridgway Street, Whanganui

"Arrived into Whanganui and found the hotel easily. After checking in, very easily, we went to our room. Not sure how old the hotel is, but the hall way & guest lounge very 1920’s with modern touches - comfortable & elegant. Our room was another elegant room with lovely touches accenting the period of the property. Though looking “old” the bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was huge with a corner whirlpool bath, as well as a shower too. We ate in the restaurant that evening & both of us had a lovely meal. Great stay & definitely recommend it."

"Nice Kiwi motel. Actually I really appreciated it because it was super clean. Quite tidy, very good hot shower and nice location by the river with an easy 10 min walk to town. Comfortable bed, very clean sheets & bedding. TV was a bit old & limited channels but no time for watching TV. Would definitely stay again."

Anndion Lodge Motel & Conference Centre ★★★★
"It's a really great place, comfy and cozy. The little veranda was cold in the morning but with the curtains, we didn't feel it at all in the room. As our room was more at the back and not so close to the road, we also didn't hear the traffic at all. Really nice accommodation."

"We were warm and comfortable. The sauna and plunge pool were a total bonus. A large number of us had gathered for an event at the wonderful Duncan Pavilion at the beach and really enjoyed debriefing around the awesome firepit long into the night."
