Rydges Wellington Airport

Rydges Wellington Airport

10/10 Excellent
"Had a very early flight from Wellington so booked for the convenience. Got lost finding the hotel as conveniently accessed within the airport. Obviously we didn’t follow directions. Loved watching the planes that were more visible from the eating establishments, which provided a variety of options - more in the airport rather than the hotel. A very relaxing stay."
