The Brown Pub — Restaurant in South Island

Day 1

Chapter 1 the town

This towns local architectecture needs to be improved. Firstly the bins look like theyve been run over. Then we discovered the street lights wearing pirate hats. The benches look like cheese grators.

Chapter 2 the pub

First of all we couldn't sleep because of loud karaoke. Then there was a pirate lamp outside our window blinding us. So we closed the blinds and turned on the small lights. Then i tried to move it and it was scolding i almost lost a finger. I was in seriouse pain when i discovered the bedside cabinet. It was HORRENDOUS it almost ended up outside. Finally we tried to get some shut eye when we discovered there was a window the size of an elephant above the door. We had to make a makeshift curtain out of a sheet to block out the harmfull rays.

Overall an amazing experience 10/10 would recommend other than the minor issues.

Look out for future updates day...

Horrible experience. Price paid does not reflect the room quality, which s in desperate need of renovation. Booked a room for 3 nights last week and had to leave after the first night. There is a panel heater which did was turned on, however, did not improve the extreme cold temperature of the room. I was left sick with the cold the following morning, and had to move to a different accommodation, and could not go skiing at all. Housekeeping arrived at 9am and was busy chatting, not as if they are doing any work at all. The floor was dirty and sticky (need repolishing), the bed was sunken in the middle like a quicksand, and pillow smelled like feet, which had to be placed on the floor due to the offensive odour. The only good thing about the place is the small sink in the room, which is a positive for shared bathroom hostels as this. Do not recommend this place at...

Great location for a nice stop on the way and it’s ideal that’s you can grab some food as well. They have clean but shared amenities.

Sadly enough it’s very noisy and if you happen to have a room with a sky light you keep turning off the hall lights! We stayed here on a Wednesday evening thinking the noise would be done around 9.30pm when the pub is closed. Sadly enough we had a very rowdy crew of old drunks hanging about and talking loudly. Some stayed over and continued upstairs which did ruin our sleep. There’s also a swing door downstairs that gets used so frequently and is so loud that even all the neighbors would be kept awake. Would not recommend booking it if you like your quiet...
