Couldn’t recommend it more!

5/5

My partner and I had the most brilliant two-night stay at The Duckling. It was exactly the cozy, peaceful escape we were craving. Our favourite moment? Sitting by the outdoor fire pit under a sky full of stars, toasting the gifted s’mores—pure magic. The cabin was beautifully styled, full of charm, and incredibly well-equipped with everything we needed to feel right at home. It’s a special kind of place that makes you slow down and just enjoy the moment. We left feeling completely recharged—and already talking about when we’ll come back. Couldn’t recommend it more!

The Duckling perfection.

5/5

Where to start! My partner & I & our small dog had a great weekend at this little property. The thoughtful touches are extensive - smores supplies ready to go, the fire ready to light, the bed was very comfortable with a lovely fluffy doona, even water in the dog bowls. There is a compact kitchen with everything we needed in it, the bathroom is lovely with a great walk in shower. The decor in the property is superb, all creating a lovely homely atmosphere that meant we had a perfect weekend.

The most perfect stay!

5/5

"We had a lovely stay at The Duckling. Everything was ready for us, including a fire built in the fireplace ready to be lit. We loved the size of the cabin, the fireplace kept it warm and cosy so quickly and easily. The bathroom was so spacious, the bed was comfortable and the linen was so clean. I loved the doona, it was so light and fluffy. We had a great time relaxing, and we loved being able to bring our little dog. The owners have done a really great job designing the cabin. Even though it is on someone's acreage property, it has a lot of privacy. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for a lovely weekend away!"

A Hidden Gem!

5/5

Close to Daylesford yet peacefully secluded—quiet, cozy, and pet-friendly. Our pup loved the secure yard while we relaxed by the fireplace, soaked in the stunning surroundings, and listened to the kookaburras. We’ll be back!
