Charming, Spacious and Relaxing

The igloo was the best holiday house we’ve stayed at in the many years visiting the Island. It was spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated. We had a couple of rainy days during our stay, but the house was so lovely for a relaxing day indoors. The kids loved the exciting and spacious yard. Anita was quick to reply to any questions, and was always very helpful. The kitchen was fully equipped and the showers had great water pressure. The outdoor shower and trough was ideal for rinsing off after the beach. Taller couples might find the double bed in the main bedroom a bit of a squeeze, but you could always each take a double bed - just remember to bring enough sheets. Overall we loved our stay here and can’t wait stay again. It’s a truly memorable house.

Beautiful Accommodation Perfectly Situated

We had a lovely stay! The accommodation is really lovely and is perfectly located for restaurants, bars, beach and wildlife such as the penguins and koalas. It’s a perfect place to escape from screens, however if you do want to watch TV, be aware that the TV is a bit small and tucked into the corner of the room, so I’d advise bringing a laptop etc if you want to cosy up and watch a film. Would definitely stay again!
