Great place to stay and explore the Bellarine Peninsula
My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Igloo House. It was quirky, comfortable and amazingly well-stocked. The beds were comfortable and it was in a quiet location. Jess was very helpful and was a delight to deal with. Would highly recommend.

Unique home away from home, Joe & Jess have thought of everything!
This place is full of surprises from the moment you open the door. Nothing is left to chance and you feel at home instantly. View from the deck at sunrise not to be missed.

Gem of a place
Probably one of the best we have stayed at. The kids had a great time. Enough area for them to kick the ball. They could also ride their bikes to the beach

It was cozy, quiet, very charming, tidy and clean. Very well equipped and comfortable. Not far from the beach, but a good walk to the town centre or a quick car ride to the Main Street. Loved it and so did my two kids. Would definitely come back for another stay. Thank you.
