We really enjoyed our stay at the Rutland Arms Hotel. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. Located in the heart of the town, the hotel itself oozed character and our room had lovely view of the tower on the hill. The pub was a lovely place to dine and relax, and the food was lovely.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
