"Well it was the best one out of 6 hotels we stayed at during our trip. It’s definitely worth the price and was given an upgrade upon arrival. It’s really worth the money."

"great parking, awesome room, views almost like Rarotonga, "

"Great spot to stay "

"Staff were friendly. The apartment was clean and quiet "

"A beautifully renovated old building, with the perfect mixture of timeless classic architecture and modern amenities. Loved the original elevator, was quite charming, and faster than some modern elevators we’ve used. The rooms were tastefully decorated with a modern bathroom. Being on the top floor was amazing, as we had views of the ocean and port, right from the bed. The quaint restaurant was warm and inviting with its exposed brick walls. Service was top notch."

"Good stay, lovely host, great accommodation and location"

"Only stayed one night but excellent room with a nice view and very spacious. Great location and easy walk to drinking and dining options."

"This property presents itself as an upmarket guest house, however, due to complete lack of any staff interaction, it feels unwelcoming and sterile.The rules restricting what guests can and cannot do during their stay made it feel like a youth hostel. Even worse, if you have a problem, neither of the phone numbers given are answered. The booking system is unnecessarily complicated and did not work for us. Our room (No3) was noisy and we were woken up at 6.am by a workman doing something around the property. We have stayed in numerous similarly priced properties in NZ, but I regret to say The Fort was our least favourite and rather overpriced for what it offered. If you are happy sharing toilets, showers or kitchen facilities with strangers then you might feel more at home here than we did."

"The host was friendly and helpful,bed was comfortable and the shower was good.Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.It was warm and cosy.Would definitely stay there again."
