Duckmaloi Park Lodge

Perfect spot for a large group (we had 12). Decent bedrooms, nice big lounge area as well as a big kitchen, and 2 showers. Nice peaceful area with a serene view of the paddocks and nearby hills, and some cows you can go chill with. It's not a 5 star resort, but it's cozy. Big TV and fireplace in the lounge area, but you might have to walk a bit to find some phone reception.

Beautiful old house with many trinkets. A great kitchen and lovely grounds. No real phone reception or internet makes for a perfect escape. Good for large groups too. The outside toilet has a view, nothing like a poo with a view.

Had a great weekend surrounded by family history in this rustic farm house. Highly recommend a stay here. Got to see a part of Australia that I would otherwise never have been able to experience. Thank you Gerard for the great hospitality and entrusting this home to us.

Beautiful place to relax. Calm and serene. Ideal for a quiet holiday.

I had an awesome weekend away here and would recommend it to everyone I know!

Wonderful! Peaceful and relaxing.

We return every year. Great place to explore

Visited family who had rented this property. It is charming and as far as I know my family loved it and found the owner charming too. Would have been five stars, but if you're not a fan of ageing older materials it's probably not for you.

The above was written shortly after visiting the property, in an attempt to balance the care that had clearly gone in to the place with what we had experienced. Weeks have gone by and I could not more bitterly regret the 24 hours I spent at this place, and I would like to make sure others are informed enough to avoid the experience if they wish to do so.

We did not do anything unusual at this property. My children played in the garden, I cooked in the kitchen, my 8 week old baby and I used the bath and I used the laundry to wash his clothes and some bedding and towels.

The dust we brought back with us got into our skin, our car, our other clothes and bedding, everything, and unfortunately, from the way it behaves and long experience of the materials used in inland properties, I'm fairly sure it came from the old super six roof, which is expanding and broken in places and may or may not feed a water tank supplying the property- I don't want to know. It's not the fact that we brought a bit of asbestos back with us that's the problem- it's that we seem to have brought quite a lot back with us.

Some people aren't troubled by the stuff, but I can't recommend this as a place that's suitable for children. Especially really young ones.
