We stayed at the Rutherford Hotel during a four day conference. The hotel was the perfection venue for a gathering of more than 200 people. The spacious rooms made the auditorium/theatre perfect for presentations and then quickly turned into a comfortable room for a banquet dinner. All the staff were super helpful, friendly and obliging to meet our needs - which were many. We couldn't fault the food and service, absolutely superb. I would highly recommend the hotel as a perfect place for couples and families to stay, as well as for a business event, big or small. Thank you.

We go purely for the buffet breakfast whenever we can, and it’s always such a lovely experience. From the staff, to the views, to the wide selection of awesome food cooked to perfection, it’s truly our favourite go to for breakfast. They even gave me a free brownie for my birthday one year. I always recommend being a loyal customer to the Rutherford to everyone I’ve taken there, and look forward to plenty more lovely breakfasts with the nicest staff, thank you guys heaps

Stayed at the Rutherford Hotel for a night and it was an excellent experience. The team was lovely and efficient. Check-in was fast and easy. The room is spacious and modern, with a breathtaking view overseeing the garden and city centre. Good TV selections to keep us entertained even in a terrible weather. Shower is of a good pressure. Didn't try the dinner but breakfast buffet is great with good selection. Definitely recommended to anyone going to Nelson.
