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.
