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.
