The cottage was clean and set up as requested, with sofa bed made up for sleeping. Janene was friendly and gave advice on where to eat locally. Beautiful view of lake and loved hearing birds in the morning. Kitchenette was well set up and porridge sachets a hit on cold morning.
We had a lovely stay as two adults and our daughter. The property was exactly as advertised and suited our needs perfectly. Janene very generously gave us beautiful bananas from their crop. Sounds of nature were the only noises we heard which was lovely. Great stay!
A lovely property. Perfect for a single person or couple. Only 7 minutes from family nearby.
Clean and inviting. Bed was very comfortable however pillows were a bit soft.
Easily cooled on hot day and very pleasant to be in.
Sofa could do with replacing. Not good for arthritic knees!! Difficult to get out of.
Bathroom was lovely.
Would definitely book this accommodation again.
Thank you for a great stay.
Lovely outlook.
The property was misrepresented on the advertisement. The 'Lagoon' was nothing but a mud patch, and the beautiful bush setting was a jungle of weeds. The garden area was completely dead, and the parking area for our car was hampered by wheelbarrows and rock piles. The owners garage door was stated as being silent. In fact the room shook when they entered with their car. Added costs were included by the agent, over and above the advertised price, and after you pressed 'pay'. Were not impressed by the whole experienced. 'Breakfast included' consisted of two sleeves of cornflakes to cover two mornings for two people (about 12 flakes in each sleeve), and a jar of indistinguishable oats - muesli? The one good thing was the fact that the flat itself was very clean, and the furniture (incl the bed) was more than adequate. Below standard.
It was clean and the bed was comfortable.
It was very cold when we stayed here in April 22, but it was sooooo cold inside too as the window in the bathroom doesnât close and there is no bathroom door. The curtainless windows didnât help either. It was so cold and we felt awful turning on the aircon as a few seconds after it was off the chill was back in the room. There was a second doona which was great.
Tank water may have been in use for both sinks, which I wish I knew prior to brushing my teeth and having tea.
The bed squeaked the three times I got up in the night and so woke my husband.
I missed having a mirror to see how I looked, there is a small one in the bathroom but Iâm not very tall and so could just see my face.
The shower was too low for my husband who is only six foot. We loved the shower look though and the timber benches and shelves were very cool.
While Iâm on my rantâŠplates were wet, bowls were dirty, tea cups stained, there is no light above the kitchenette so I relocated the bedside lamp to make dinner.
Though, only 15 mins to Bellingen and close to the motorway and we didn't hear any traffic noise.
We cancelled our return stay as the cold and the squeaky bed were too much to deal with...
Duck Heaven is a lovely place to stay. Comfortable, cosy (in the best sense), clean. Property is well maintained.The aircon and ceiling fans were much appreciated on a hot and humid night. Our host was easy to communicate with and very helpful. Our only downside, we didnât see a duck! But I have no doubt they would be on the pond, we just didnât have time to explore.
We very much enjoyed our stay at Duck Heaven. The property is extremely comfortable, spacious and inviting, and it has everything needed for a short break. We wished there was more time to sit out in the lovely courtyard and enjoy the garden, but hopefully we will visit again and stay longer. Thank you Janene for the extra touches which make the studio so comfortable. We will highly recommend this property to anyone wishing to explore the region.
