New to Host Unusual: From an Aussie Houseboat to a Canadian Ice Hotel

22 April 2019

Each of these new recruits to Host Unusual sits proudly within a different category of accommodation. And since we’re on the subject, did you know that we now have a total of 45 different categories for our properties to be listed in?

In the case of this current selection of beauties, we have a truly eclectic line-up: a houseboat, treehouse, architect designed pad, ice hotel, airstream, glampsite, gatehouse… and even one wildcard! 

Needless to say, they collectively reflect the incredible array of unique places we’re coming across every day… and we hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
