Fantastic place to stay on the water
I absolutely loved this cute little place perfect for a little weekend away, able to just walk outside and take my SUP for a cruise around the river. So peaceful and some cute little wildlife around. Only comment which I let the owner know wifi doesn’t work great in the whole house and reception wasn’t fantastic but I was okay to have the peace and quiet.

Disappointing
Property was clean however it was not private and certainly not quiet. It is a black spot for wifi and it is hemmed in by 2 large buildings on either side. The dvd player and tv in bedroom not working. BBQ rusty and not working. No info provided about the property or local area.

The toilet is broken when I turned up I turned off the water to it because it was always running and didn’t want the owners to have a massive water bill because of it needs to be fixed I turned it off at the bottom of toilet so it wouldn’t run the water bill up I’m sorry if this is a inconvenience to them but I was only trying to help so they didn’t have a big water bill for them and would like to go back again soon it’s a awesome place to go to and stay and I love the ducks they are very cute and love feeding them

Everything I expected, foxtel for the footy and down time, fishing , fishing and more fishing. Very child friendly homebwith lots of toys and grass space to play and shallow water for kayaking. Close to shops cafes and much more. We stayed for 3 nights and never had a dull moment. Oh and plenty of fish off the jetty no baby fish 30 to 40cm plus breams loved every moment. Fishing tips bait chucken breast dows the trick and not stinky. Thank you Ducks Bungalow for a lovely experience, we will definitely be back.

Ducks Bungalow is a beautiful, peaceful place. The back deck leading out to the lake was our favourite place to sit and relax. We only had one night there which wasn’t enough. The bungalow was very clean and had lots of natural light. We are looking for our next available dates so we can come back, thank you!

We were very happy with the Ducks Bungalow as it delivered on everything advertised and we had an enjoyable 8 nights. Only disappointment is the WIFI and internet connection as it is in some type of black spot. Even using my phone as a mobile hotspot gave very poor results.

Christmas break
After a nightmare start, couldn’t get into property with codes given. Once in the place was beautiful, a few maintenance issues needed. Like light in bathroom not working, cold water tap in shower needs looking at, tv in first bedroom not working properly a few door handles need repairing. The dog next door howled a lot and more privacy needed whilst out on the deck. All in all it was a lovely holiday but has a few issues to be fixed with the price that is charged.

The view! It’s unbeatable. The home is extremely close to a beautiful swimming spot - Naru Beach, walking distance to a coffee shop that sells worlds best Portuguese tarts and has a super friendly doggo next door that loves a pat. Although there is no air con, the house has 2 portable fans that help keep you cool. The place we spent most of our time was water side on the deck or with our feet in the water. The kitchen is fully stocked which was a wonderful surprise. Overall, just lovely.

Small issues
Toilet light didn’t work at all. Bedroom door handle lock has dent into wall. I don’t want to be accused of this. Suggest repair and install doorstop. Dog next door was making crying noises and jumping at fence while we ate dinner on verandah. Maybe a coverage of cloth or bamboo at bottom half of fence so both can’t see each other.

What an amazing location! The house was clean and comfortable, with everything you’d need for a little getaway. My family and I only had one night at Ducks Bungalow, unfortunately. We would love to stay again. The idea of enjoying a glass of wine with a cheese platter at sunset, overlooking the water is very tempting. I’d highly recommend this property.
