Rob and Ian are knowleable about the Bellarine Peninsula and gave some good advise about the areas attractions. Hoping to be able to go back for another stay next year.

Star haven was wonderful! From the moment we arrived, nothing was too much trouble, our hosts Rob and Ian were extremely accommodating. As we were going to a function I had enquired about early check in, and they messaged us at two to say our room was ready! Breakfast was delicious, and the property was simply beautiful in a fantastic area with beautiful views over the bay. In all, a perfect mini break... can’t wait ‘ til we go again

Romantic Destination, worth a detour.

True to the photos, it's an amazing property. The hosts are professional, but friendly, and serve a very nice breakfast. There's a number of extra special amenities, and we chose to watch Bohemian Rhapsody in their theater with freshly served popcorn and ice cream.

Discovering the Bellarine

We knew nothing about the Bellarine Peninsula before staying here. After three days we know much more. Rob and Ian have a great network to help you line up your stay. For example we rented e-bikes for a day loop tour. The breakfasts can only be described as elaborate. A gigantic library of movies organized by decade.

Everything that you could possibly want at a BnB. We needed 2 extra nights to do everything at the house, let alone the fab food and wine in the rest of the peninsula! Definitely be back.

Stunning accommodation and wonderful Hosts

Starhaven Retreat is a first class accommodation experience. With beautifully appointed rooms, wonderful Hosts and even a Star Class private cinema, you cannot help but relax and enjoy yourself. The property has stunning bay views and Ian and Rob even cook guests a home cooked breakfast each morning. There is a dinner package option available too. Highly recommended.
