If you are looking for a peaceful retreat in a bush setting The Duckling is the place to go. Accommodation is flawless, well maintained and set up for a relaxing stay. A fenced in front yard and dog-door makes it safe if holidaying with your city pooch. An outdoor area is set up for relaxing, with BBQ, open fire, and hot tubs! We had most enjoyable stay at The Duckling.

Thank you for the lovely review Henry. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at The Duckling and found it to be a peaceful spot to relax and star gaze!. It’s great to hear the place worked well for you and your furry family memeber, and that you made good use of the outdoor area, BBQ, fire, and soaking tubs! We so appreciate the care you took in looking after the property and the effort you went to making sure the property was clean and tidy on departure! We wish you all the best and hope to welcome you back in the near future. Take care!
