Top Rutherford Hotel Reviews

The Lane Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the room with a card from Lane Retreat wishing our 10year old @Buckythefriendlypup a Happy Birthday and enjoy our wine country celebrations. The breakfast selections were excellent. Parking was convenient. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Pool was clean. We including the poochies enjoyed our stay!"

Harrigan's Hunter Valley

8/10 Good

"Harrigans is a great place to stay. Good food, good undercover parking, friendly and convenient. However the accommodation is tired and needs a fair bit of maintenance. Shower old and door came of runners, sink cracked and stained, carpet old. Bed very comfortable. Check in is now managed at the Mercure hotel. Will definitely stay again as it suits us well. We have stayed here many times"

Rydges Resort Hunter Valley

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed two nights in a three-bedroom villa with two young kids and their grandparents. We are sensitive to cleaning chemicals but none of us had any reaction, no smell, so we could fully relax at the villa. The waterpark and the bigger pool were amazing, entertained our kids all the time, literally almost all day. We could spot some warrabies in the property, which was a good bonus. The breakfast buffet was also great, especially the egg kitchen. No salad at the time I stayed but a good variety of fresh juices and fruits. Only my disappointment was that some tissues floated in the “adult only” pool, and it was not cleared on the next day also…"
