Lovely old hotel, great location, good facilities and nice friendly staff. Sadly could not warm our bedroom up much and water pressure in shower not great. Overall a lovely stay.

We loved our two nights at the Rutland Arms. Perfect location for all the local amenities, parking at the rear, lovely staff, spacious, comfortable and clean accommodation. Sky Movies and Sports was an unexpected bonus. The only improvement would be to increase the pressure on the shower, we are all for the environment but it was not much more than a trickle so took ages to rinse off shampoo and soap. Otherwise, the perfect stay.

Very friendly welcome with bags carried to the room. Delightful greeting at breakfast, which was delicious. Two excellent evening meals, with good winelist. Easy location.

Very efficient service, huge clean room, nice evening meal offered and substantial breakfast. The only downer was the weak shower.

Parking very easy and secure. The hotel is in a great location. Staff great. Bar and restaurant also great. The only small criticism is the shower pressure isn’t great - but manageable and not a problem/. Would definitely stay here again and again

A heritage building that has been recently restored. Rooms are large, lots of native timber used. We had dinner and breakfast, both of which were excellent. Great selection of craft beer in the pub.

Lovely room, welcoming staff. We ate in the pub in the evening as well as the continental breakfast. Both were delicious with good portions. Parking was easy once we’d located the car park! Wouldn’t hesitate to return.

The rooms met the old-world charm expected of a hotel of its age. The food and staff were both fantastic & welcoming, with the added advantage of booking meals & drinks to my room. Recommended as the place to stay in Wanganui.

Rooms are very spacious and extremely well decorated. No lift but the barman assisted us with luggage. The room attendant is 75 but she is an absolute gem and very thorough with the room makeup. Bar downstairs is not noisy and has great food BUT I didn’t like the vanilla rice pudding.
