Rydges Wellington Airport

Location is Excellent could not be better. very comfortable.

Cleared customs at 1.30 am on Wednesday morning and it was a great relief to see the smiling face of the night receptionist at Rydges with its simple lift access from the airport arrival lounge. Transferred to room, large inviting bed with cases still on luggage cart and slept the sleep of the exhausted. Simple checkout the next morning and headed home to Waikanae. Rydges is a lifesafer for early morning departures and late arrivals, especially when customs and agriculture take an hour and a half after a three-hour flight from Sydney which arrives on midnight.

The accommodation was great, the pillows and bed were top notch. I would love some of those pillows for myself at home. The portacots were set up for my girls so neatly and they slept so well. The room was able to be pitch black which was amazing for removing the daylight and allowing us to sleep soundly. The location and access to the airport was phenomenal, we have always travelled very early to the airport but being so close was just amazing! The only thing that would make this accommodation better would be some place to swim. A small heated pool would be great and add a touch more family friendly-ness as we didn’t really know what to do with two toddlers other than stay in our room.

Rydges by the airport gate, Perfect for flights that can’t be late. A golf course shines right next door, With views and greens you’ll both adore. “Te Papa’s “ (museum) wonders are a must, A cultural gem you know you can trust. For pasta dreams, 1154’s the place, Delicious dishes, a warm embrace. But buses here? A puzzling scene, Snapper cards aren’t so clean. The Airport Express? A pricey ride, Public buses win with pride. Still, Rydges shines with style and grace, A comfy, well-placed resting place.

It was a great stay at the Rydges Wellington Airport Hotel, we stayed there the night before our 6 am flight to offload some stress from travelling to the airport early in the morning. So the proximity to the airport was great, you literally just need to go down the elevator and you end up at the airport. Our room was lovely and very clean, and the bathroom was great. Very comfy bed, managed to get some good sleep! We ordered some room service, which was delicious, as well as some dessert. We were able to chrome cast, so we watched some netflix before bed. Honestly great facilities, very clean, and the staff were great. Would definitely recommend staying here if you have an early flight the next morning!
