The host’s instructions were helpful and he was quick to respond. The location was great and 2 bathrooms, though very small, was good to have for a family of 4.
But, for $300/night I would expect clean toilets. Both hadn’t been cleaned. I mean brown stains. The showers and the rest of the place were fine.
The lounge furniture was worn, lumpy and uncomfortable. I took a photo but can’t upload it here. Every pillow was a lumpy mess. By the morning, the lumps separated so you were just sleeping on the pillow slip.
If someone got up early and put the (very cheap plastic) kettle on, it sounded like a jet taking off and woke the person up in the next bedroom.
I don’t understand how this got great reviews, which is why I booked it. If I had paid $200/night I wouldn’t complain but $300??? I almost wasn’t going to review it because everyone had reviewed it so highly. We paid a similar amount in Christchurch and the place was amazing. Maybe you just don’t much for your money in Te Anau.
