The Marton Hotel is a bar on Broadway in the Rangitikei town of Marton, holding a 4.2 rating from 14 Google reviews.
Country hotel bars are the social heart of a small town — the place where farmers, workers and travellers cross paths at the end of the day. Expect a straightforward lineup of tap beer, a short wine list and counter meals at peak times, with the big matches on the box; it always pays to check when the kitchen closes before making a special trip. Regulars value a bar where the publican knows their order, and visitors passing through often find these old hotels the friendliest stop for miles.
For a cold drink and some local company in the middle of the Rangitikei, The Marton Hotel on Broadway is the obvious call.
