Rydges Wellington
"With the Rydges being only walking distance from the stadium it was the perfect location for a staycation. The hotel was humming with rugby fans and the staff were warm, welcoming and attentive as it got busier. The pool was great for a quick swim."

Gilmer Apartment Hotel
"Apart from the obscure way to access to the main street bia a carpark then the carpark lift which I wouldn’t attempt at night on my own this was a good location and met our desired need of having a washer and dryer for our last stop on our road trip over to Queenstown."
