The Duckling, tucked among the towering gum trees
The Duckling | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom | Serene bush escape
Nestled amongst towering gum trees, The Duckling is a peaceful retreat just seven minutes from Daylesford. This charming one-bedroom hideaway in Wheatsheaf beautifully blends rustic charm with modern comforts making it ideal for a romantic weekend, a solo recharge, or a quiet escape with your four-legged friend. Inside, the open-plan studio-style cabin is thoughtfully curated with antique-industrial touches, warm yellow accents, and a striking black kitchen. A nectar wood-burning fireplace adds coziness, complemented by a split-system for year-round comfort. The kitchenette includes a gas cooktop, microwave, and Nespresso coffee machine, while the lounge offers a TV, sound system, and WiFi. Two handcrafted barn doors reveal a curated queen bedroom and a stylish bathroom with a luxurious king-size shower. Enjoy alfresco dining on the covered verandah with a BBQ, or simply take in the peaceful bush surrounds. The fully fenced yard and doggie door make The Duckling proudly pet-friendly, giving your furry friend the freedom to explore safely. Step outside and settle in beneath the string lights as The Duckling truly comes to life after dark. The outdoor fire pit is magical, surrounded by rustic bench seating hand crafted from vintage bedheads and old cart wheels, it’s the perfect spot for toasting marshmallows, making S’mores, and sharing memories under a star-filled sky.
While The Duckling shares the acreage with the main residence, it features its own private entrance and secluded courtyard, ensuring your stay remains peaceful and undisturbed. This soulful propertyt invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and simply be.
