Virkelig unikke omgivelser
Virkelig fantastisk sted med smuk natur, fred og ro og en unik oplevelse. Vores Lodge havde en skøn seng, helt nyt badeværelse og fantastisk beliggenhed. Vi var ikke så glade for check in processen, hvor vi følte os talt ned til, men de skønne omgivelser endte med at overgå den dårlige start.
Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019

Good experience in a unique place.
We are a mature couple that were travelling with the Stray Backpacker's bus. Although most of the Stray people were staying in the dorm facilities, we booked a private room in one of the nicer lodges at Blue Duck. The lodge and room were very nice - pretty luxurious actually - but the price did reflect that. We met the owner, Dan the last evening we were there and he was very nice and welcoming. Unfortunately I can't say that for most of the staff members we dealt with, with the exception of the young man who ran the target shooting activity. I got the impression that they did not want to be there, or at least be providing hospitality to a group of people.
