The Fort Guesthouse Timaru

The Fort Guesthouse Timaru

📍 66 Stafford Street First floor, Timaru Port, Timaru
★★★ 7.8 (6 reviews)

"Got to our booking and the bed wasn’t changed over + dirty wet towel on the bed. We called the helpline number (it’s a smart hotel) and a hotel assistant came to help us and thankfully had another room to put us in. I had initially requested a quiet room but we were kept up late from loud bass music in the building. The hotel was meant to be smoke free but you could definitely tell that guests had smoked in the hallway as it stunk. The best part of this experience was the complimentary breakfast, although I didn’t use this bonus as I wanted to leave asap!"

"Nice room, it was exactly like the pictures and description. Price performance value was good, they turned the heater on before arrival and there was a heated blanked. Friendly and very helpful staff and you can park infornt of your room. Only negative thing was the little hole in the window in the bathroom. I wish you and your family the best."

"I was so happy to stay here. The owner was friendly. The kitchen and living room were spacious. There was even a bathtub, so I tried the spa, but I was too tired and fell asleep. There was an oven, so I could eat a Tomahawk steak. There were plenty of DVDs at the front desk, so it would be nice to watch a movie while having dinner."

The Fort Guesthouse Timaru ★★★
"For those checking in late at night, sometimes if you haven't booked in advance, all other rooms are closed by then. These two are great, and the buffet breakfast is also quite good. You can cook your own food and enjoy the meal."

Anchor Motel ★★★
"Very friendly receptionist, nothing fancy in the room but had everything that we need. Super comfy bed. The motel is situated in front of the main road, so is very noisy, that didn't bother us. We will be happy to stay again."

Asure Ashley Motor Lodge ★★★★
"The hotel facilities are great, and the cleanliness is meticulously maintained. They even arranged the towels in the bathroom into a bow shape, which shows great attention to detail. Plus, the hotel is not far from the Little Penguin viewing beach, and it only takes a ten-minute drive at night to go watch the penguin parade."
