Really lovely home, well appointed and spacious. The duck theme was great, wouldn't have minded taking home a couple of the pictures! Beds were comfortable, parking for 2 cars, outside area was lovely, made good use of the BBQ. So many boardgames!Shops, cafes, the beach and lake were all close by, so very convenient. The ducks nest allowed for our medium sized dog. Our Milly was a rescue dog and can have high anxiety and trigger seizures, leaving her behind does not happen, so were very grateful to find such a lovely place that allowed dogs. Would absolutely recommend staying here.

Thanks so much for the awesome review! We are thrilled that you, your family and of course, Milly enjoyed your stay at the ducks nest and the local area. Hearing that our home provided a comfortable, safe space for a rescue dog like Milly means the world to us. It's also great to hear you made good use of the BBQ and board games 😊 You are welcome back anytime! Tony & Lina
