New to Host Unusual: Extraordinary Stays from South Africa to Spain

27 May 2019

One of the things we find most enthralling here at Host Unusual is the sheer variety of the ‘unusual’ that we encounter on a daily basis, and indeed in all corners of the globe! 

Take this latest colourful cohort of new recruits…You can sleep alfresco under the stars in a mountain retreat and look out over the African wilderness, or venture into the Australian rainforest to an architect-designed Japanese-inspired Zen-styled retreat. 

In the States, you can rejoice in a vintage trailer close to Nashville, or continue your riotous retro journey at a wildly kitsch and legendary Californian resort.

Perhaps cross the pond to Europe and retreat to a minimalist chalet in unspoilt Slovenia, or hop to Spain and experience low-impact and sustainable living in an extraordinary earth dome.

The sky really is the limit!
