The Fort Timaru

Smelt of cigarette smoke

Clean, and easy door system.

Bed was too soft and on wheels.

The bed was comfortable

No light in toilet/bathroom. No milk in kitchen we had to buy when it was surposed to be supplied. No face clothes. Bottom sheet on bed very wrinkly. Blinds did not block light from outside. Noise from bar .

Really nice facilities, new, clean and warm with awesome kitchen, communal area and great off street parking when you have a work ute with lots of valuable tools and equipment. Complentary breakfast was great as well when you're on the road early. Good value for money. Highly recommend.

Was a little tricky working out the entrance way and code to get in, but once got it was easy as and will be staying there again in future.

We booked this accommodation because the listing stated that each room has a private bathroom. After arriving and opening the check-in email about 10 minutes later, we discovered that the property actually only has shared bathrooms. This is clearly misleading advertising. We immediately contacted the owner and requested a cancellation, but they refused, hiding behind the “non-refundable” policy and responding very rudely. We asked Booking.com to intervene, but the owner did not even respond to them. Very disappointing experience. Misleading listing and unprofessional handling of a legitimate complaint.
