Awesome

We enjoyed our stay here. The dogs loved it as well. It was a short walk down to the beach. It was fairly quiet but still close to everything. We would definitely come back again. Bridget was an excellent host - readily available and very accommodating.

Great family & pet friendly property

Really comfortable & well equipped property for families & furry friends. We hope to stay again. The only reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars is because I couldn't give 4.5 stars & one bathroom & no separate toilet was challenging at times!

Beautiful little get away

This cottage is situated in a quiet area, and close to the beach and esplanade. With an old dog, we like to take her with us to enjoy the holidays but she needs somewhere to stay and rest too. This house is fully fenced and takes little dogs in mind. We had a great time, and will def be back in the future. :)

We love Duk 'n' Willa

As usual (we've stayed at 'The Duk' many times now), we had a lovely 2 weeks at the Duk 'n' Willa cottage. Even with incredibly wet weather (we had 4 days without rain/showers in the 2 weeks we were there!) we still managed to have a great time and fitted in kayaking, fishing and lots of great beach walks with our dogs. The cottage suits us perfectly: great location being near to restaurants, boat ramps and beaches; comfortable without being pretentious or precious; well appointed; perfect for our dogs with a big outdoor area; and a perfect place to clean up up after fishing and kayaking (all weather outside table; functional laundry, two fridges; hose to wash things down etc etc). We love it.

Nice old house. Neighbourhood not so nice, felt unsafe.

House not cleaned properly. Undesirable neighbours yelling and fighting till after midnight each night, my son felt scared and unsafe. The hot water system is too small for everyone to shower in the one day, we had to have a couple of cold showers. Dishwasher had a meals worth of food piled in the bottom. Had to wash/clean things before use. Barbecue was so filthy it was a health hazard, took an hour to clean before we could eat off it. I let the property owner know about all these issues but have had no reply. Overall disappointing.

Our Stay at Duk-n-Willa

Our stay at the above property was overall very disappointing. The condition of the cottage was very disappointing and did not warrant a 4.6 rating. Externally the cottage was in a terrible state including the laundry. There were holes in the suffits and internally and externally the cottage was desperate for a paint. On 2 occassions we returned after a day out to no hot water. There was insufficient towels for 4 people and NETFLIX was not accessible at all times. We felt unsafe due to cars hooning each night and argumentative neighbours. During the day for six days road works were camped outside the door.interanally the range hood in the kitchen and the stove needed a good clean and I spent time wiping grubby marks off the wall, windowsills and wiping thick dust off daddo rails. There was evidence of mould over the back and front door and the back screen door no longer locked or was clean.the ceiling internally was sagging and paint beginning to peel.internal doors, door frame needed painting, nor would have passed building standards. Whilst it was evident attempts were made to present the cottage well there still was inadequate seating in the loungeroom and the the cottage did not deliver as advertised for the amount of money charged per day. $200+

Could be nice but the place was dirty

Very disappointed. The place does not appear to have been cleaned properly in quite a while. All the venetian blind slats were dusty, the window sills were dirty, the bedside tables were all covered in dust and a sticky residue, glass table dusty, table mats still had food on them, kitchen work surface and oven front door looked as if they had been just wiped over with a dirty cloth. The whole house needs a thorough clean and the windows, window sills and door jambs need repainting. I had to clean all surfaces before putting anything on them, wash cutlery. No where to store food except the fridge. Most of the drawers in the kitchen need cleaning and the bathroom drawers had hair and debris. Not exactly hygienic. We did contact the owner and she did apologise, but didn't respond to our request that someone came to clean the place. Whilst the work surfaces are now cleaner, I did not touch the blinds, window sills etc. That is not my job. Considering the bad state of the place, it is not worth the rental fee as it stands and I feel that at least the cleaning fee we have paid should be refunded as the place had not been cleaned prior to arrival
