Starhaven Retreat is undeniably the ultimate in premium luxury accommodation on the Bellarine Peninsula. Its striking architecture and stunning contemporay features attracted the attention of Grand Designs Australia, which featured the construction phase in Season 1. A triumph of contemporary elemental structure, this extraordinary glass building with winged roof, floor to ceiling glazed walls and granite features is offset by the natural warmth of timbers, leather and vibrant red tonings throughout. A gorgeous slivered stone feature wall contains an elegant fireplace in two of the living areas, while the iconic Marilyn with her dazzling smile is resplendent on the wall in the cocktail lounge. A decadent jet-stream swim spa and sauna is utterley indulgent, and the Gold Class 15 seat cinema with starlit ceiling runs a different movie every night. There are 5 one and two bedroom suites with private balconies and sea views available at this 4.5 star retreat, and your hosts can create a 3 course gourmet masterpiece on request. A fully cooked breakfast is provided daily, which you can enjoy on the rooftop terrace while admiring the spectacular views over Port Phillip Bay to the city. It simply doesn't get any better than this.

We stayed at Starhaven Retreat for two nights in the most beautiful relaxing room. Ian and Rob have built a gorgeous house right on the ocean. From the moment we stepped in their front door we were well taken care of. From the delicious food, immaculately kept house, top notch facilities and most importantly two of the nicest gentlemen you have ever met! We enjoyed the spa while having a drink and watching the footy. Thank you for such an incredible experience. We can't wait to come back!

All these reviews emulate what a fabulous place this truly is! It was the perfect place to get ready for my wedding - let alone spend our wedding night at! Every box is ticked at Starhaven... Gorgeous setting...yes...spectacular service...yes...and breakfast to die for...I could go on. Rob and Ian have provided a truly unique retreat where they have definitely gone beyond the moon and reached further than the stars! You have to go to Starhaven to experience it for yourself - you won't be disappointed!
