Instant Hotel season 2 episode 4, titled Episode 4, is a reality TV show where contestants compete to have their vacation rental property be named the best "instant hotel" of the season. In this episode, four new teams are introduced, and they visit each other's properties to rate their experiences and provide feedback.
The episode opens with contestants scoring their experiences at the previous instant hotels they visited, which include beautiful waterfront views, luxurious amenities, and some less-than-stellar hospitality. The four new properties on display in this episode feature a unique converted barn, a charming cottage, an industrial-chic apartment, and a spacious luxury pad.
The contestants are treated to a relaxing day at the spa before they visit the first property. They begin with Casa Del Rio, which is a modern villa on the banks of the Murray River. The villa boasts a picturesque view and a private dock. The contestants are impressed with the property, and they appreciate the thoughtful touches the owner has added, such as fresh flowers, scented candles, and plush towels. However, the group notes that the decor could be updated.
Next, the contestants move on to visit The Barn, which is a converted barn that has been repurposed as a luxury vacation rental. The property owner has added rustic touches, such as exposed wood beams, to add to the property's charm. The contestants unanimously agree that The Barn has gone above and beyond in creating a relaxing atmosphere. The team notes that the property has strong potential to win the competition.
After visiting The Barn, the contestants visit The Urban Oasis, which is a hip apartment located in the heart of Adelaide. The owners have added sophisticated, modern touches, such as bold artwork and a sleek kitchen. The contestants appreciate that the owners have invested in a high-end sound system that allows guests to listen to music throughout the apartment. Several contestants note that they may have preferred a more cozy, comfortable atmosphere in such an urban location.
The final property on the episode is Lillypilly's Country Cottages, which is a charming rural property that offers guests a chance to experience life on a farm. The contestants are impressed with the picturesque setting and the cozy decor. However, they note that the property has some challenging obstacles, such as a lack of air conditioning, that may make it difficult for guests in the summer months.
At the end of the episode, the contestants are left to rate each other's properties and submit their scores to the show's judges. The contestant with the highest score receives a reward, and the lowest performing contestant faces elimination.
Overall, this episode of Instant Hotel season 2 is full of unique properties and thoughtful design elements. Contestants have the opportunity to provide feedback on each property, which allows them to give constructive criticism and suggest ways for owners to improve their offerings. This episode is perfect for anyone who loves interior design and is looking for inspiration for their next vacation rental experience.
