Rydges

Booking Rydges Hotels & Resorts, the Australian hotel group within EVT Limited? Pick your hotel and room, then book through ShopBack before you pay: ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. Its site lists 17 hotels in Sydney, 5 in Melbourne, 6 in Brisbane, 7 in Adelaide, 5 in Perth and 14 in New Zealand, plus regional properties from Cairns and Townsville to Canberra, Hobart, Darwin, Port Macquarie and the Snowy Mountains, and Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Rotorua. Rydges sells mid-scale city and regional stays with on-site dining and meeting space. Book through the ShopBack Rydges page so the stay earns Cashback at the current published rate. On ShopBack Singapore, start from the Rydges page before you pay and part of what you spend at Rydges comes back to you as Cashback.

Rydges uses EVT Stays, the free cross-brand membership that also covers QT, Atura, Independent Collection and Lylo hotels. The Rydges site promises members a 10 percent discount when they book direct, instant discounts on stays and dining, and points on every stay. Promotional offers such as the Flash Sale add a further 10 percent for members beyond the headline discount. Joining takes a minute at rydges.com and there is no fee. Membership is separate from ShopBack Cashback, which is based on the amount you actually pay, at the current published rate on the ShopBack Rydges page.

As of early October 2026 the Rydges offers page carries a Spring Flash Sale of up to 20 percent off stays, bookable until 8 October 2026 for stays through to 5 February 2027, with members saving a further 10 percent. Standing offers include Stay Longer and Save at up to 20 percent off, up to 30 percent off packages of 7 nights or more across Australia and New Zealand, and Kids Stay and Eat Free for families. Rydges typically refreshes offers each season, so for a December school holiday trip to Sydney or Melbourne, check the offers page in October and again around Black Friday on 27 November 2026. During Black Friday, the sale price is what you pay at checkout. Going through ShopBack before you pay is an essential step, and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback. Check the rate shown on ShopBack's Rydges page before you buy.

Cancellation terms are set per rate at the time of booking: flexible rates can usually be cancelled free up to a deadline shown on the rate, while discounted promotional rates, including many Flash Sale and Stay Longer rates, carry tighter or non-refundable terms. Rydges has a dedicated Cancel Booking page on its site where you enter the booking reference to cancel or change a direct booking, and each offer links to its own terms and conditions. Read the rate rules before you pay, especially for a non-refundable saving. A cancelled or refunded Rydges booking also removes the matching ShopBack Cashback before it confirms.

Both brands sit inside EVT and share the EVT Stays membership, so points and the member discount carry across. Rydges is the mid-scale, value-led brand with the larger footprint, including airport, regional and suburban locations and family offers such as Kids Stay and Eat Free, which suits a road trip or a conference stay. QT is the design-led boutique brand in central Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast, Canberra, Perth, Auckland, Wellington and Queenstown, priced higher with destination bars and restaurants. For a first Australia trip on a budget, Rydges stretches further. For a celebration weekend, QT is the pick. Both are separate ShopBack merchants, so compare the current published rates.

Rydges markets a 10 percent member discount for direct bookings, and the promotional Flash Sale, Stay Longer and family offers are direct-only, so for most Rydges stays the direct price with EVT Stays will be the one to beat. OTAs can still win when they run their own coupon or when you hold an OTA loyalty tier. The clean way to compare is to price the same room and dates on rydges.com while signed in and on the OTA, then compare the ShopBack rate on each merchant page, since Rydges, Agoda and Booking.com are all separate ShopBack merchants with their own current published rates.

The family offer on the Rydges site bundles free accommodation for children sharing with paying adults in the existing bedding with free kids' meals from the children's menu at the hotel restaurant, and members save a further 10 percent off the room. The exact age limit, number of children per room and dining inclusions are set per participating hotel and listed in that offer's terms, so check the hotel page before booking rather than assuming the Sydney terms apply in Auckland. The room rate you pay still earns ShopBack Cashback at the current published rate.

Direct flights from Singapore land in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Cairns, Darwin and Auckland, and Rydges has hotels in every one of those cities, including the newly transformed Rydges Australia Square near Circular Quay and Rydges North Sydney beside the Victoria Cross Metro station. Perth is the shortest flight at about five hours and Rydges covers both Perth and Fremantle. For a New Zealand itinerary, Rydges runs 14 hotels across Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Rotorua. Every booking made via the ShopBack Rydges page earns Cashback at the current published rate.

Go through ShopBack Singapore before you pay and the Cashback tracks to your ShopBack account. Start from the ShopBack Rydges page, sign in to EVT Stays so the member rate applies, and pick your hotel, dates and rate. The rate is the current published rate on the ShopBack Rydges page.

With ShopBack Singapore, If you shorten a stay, the Cashback is prorated against the nights you actually paid for. Changing dates inside the same booking usually keeps the Cashback attached; for a cancel-and-rebook, go through the ShopBack Rydges page again before rebooking. Charges settled at the hotel, such as dining or parking, are not part of the Cashback amount.
