House and property were great, would highly recommend this place

We enjoyed our stay, however, thought it was a little expensive for the quality of the amenities
4.8
This place is wonderful, and exactly what we needed. It's bush meets modern and absolutely perfect.
Whats better than a woodfire with kangaroos in the yard each afternoon?
To top it off they had a big selection of dvds, fast wifi and even toys for the kids! Absolutely brilliant stay, already looking forward to the next time!

Great experience overall. Bianca was responsive and flexible. The house was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Happy to recommend.

Comfortable property surrounded by bush. Quiet and peaceful

Great location and spaces.
No heating in living room except wood heater, so very cold in the mornings unless fire relit.
Cleaning not up to scratch, eg old food, open milk and juice left in fridge, freezer compartment full of someone else’s food, cups in cupboard dirty, rugs full of sticks and leaves, old chips and bits of choc wrappers between bed and side table.
Description need updating as pizza oven and pergola are no longer in place and haven’t been for some time by the look of it.
BUT it could be really good with just a bit more attention to detail.

Duck Tree Lodge exceeded our expectations; it is set in a beautiful location with everything you need to make for a great time away.
The cleanliness and the amenities were perfect, the kids had a wonderful time enjoying the open spaces and the adults loved the cosy fire and the tranquility of Woodend.
Bianca and Matt were fantastic hosts, making sure everything was just right for our stay. Highly recommended!

We had a fabulous time. The accommodation was perfect for a getaway with our kids, it was spacious and clean and had everything we needed. It’s even better than in the photos. A stunning location, thank you for the perfect space to make some great family memories.

Space good. We were lovely and warm with the fire. Had a nice walk around the block. Good time for all the girls to rest talk drink.
4.8
We loved the house and the timber furniture. Our dogs had a great time in the back yard and the bush out the back. Woodend had all we wanted, farmers market, brew house and supermarket. It was only a 30 minute walk.
We spent a lot of time exploring the reservoirs that were all full and overflowing making a spectacular sight at their spillways. As we left, the wood ducks came out of their tree to watch us go.
4.8
We enjoyed a winter break here - the house was terrific, very cosy and warm and the bush setting of the block is very quiet and peaceful.
4.8
Wonderful peaceful getaway!
This property is beautiful! Great place to take a family, with super gardens for the kids to run around and play, the cubby, footy goals and basketball ring kept them entertained! The house is well located close to the Woodend shops, but in a private setting surrounded by trees and bush. Easy check-in and good communication from host. The place was clean and tidy and we had an awesome stay. Highly recommend.

We stayed at Duck Tree Lodge for several nights in January 2022 to visit friends who live in the Macedon Ranges. The property is in a gorgeous location surrounded by bush and lots of wildlife – we saw kangaroos and wallabies and loads of parrots - and it is close to town which has everything you need. The location and house are just lovely and provided the relaxing break we were looking for! The house has everything you need including a great kitchen which meant our friends could visit our ‘holiday house’ for dinner, as well as lovely living areas and an enclosed yard for the kids to run around in. Communication with Bianca was seamless and the choccies were a lovely treat. We highly recommend Duck Tree Lodge!

Tranquil getaway at Woodend
We stayed for 2 nights in January 2022 after two previously reschedules due to Vic lockdowns. We had initially planned for a Autumn getaway to the macedon ranges but were so glad we got to see the region during the summer. The property was very nicely styled and had all the amenities we needed including a high chair for our near 2 year old, a cot (if we needed), toys and books for the kids, a dog bowl for our furry pooch, some tea and coffee and a bottle of wine. The house would easily accommodate two groups of families with kids or a family with some grandparents since one of the bedrooms was in a master suite area of the house with its own access. Each morning we saw several kangaroos on the property, bunnies, lots of native birds and tonnes of butterflies. It was an easy 2 min drive to town and with so much to explore, we could have easily stayed several more nights. The hosts were so welcoming and had plenty of information for the region and town. Would definitely recommend staying at Duck Tree Lodge!

Escape to the country
We had a lovely stay at Duck Lodge which was far more spacious than depicted in the photos. We had 3 generations of family stay for the weekend and we enjoyed the wood heater and idyllic surrounds. Were also fortunate to see a couple of kangaroos. Phone coverage is limited (and no broadband available) but this was fine for us to ‘switch off’ and relax. Chocolates on arrival were a nice touch and communication with Bianca was always prompt and friendly - Thanks for having us.

Lovely Country Stay
Secluded in the countryside with lots of room and plenty to do all around town. Would defintely recommend for couples or families lookinf for a fun or relaxing stay
4.8
Dog friendly property with secure fencing. Lots of space both in the house and the large established gardens. Immediately felt a sense of calm sitting outside looking at all the eucalypts and listening to the birds. It felt like we were completely secluded but only a couple of minutes from Woodend. Would definitely return! Dogs were not keen to leave either.

Beautiful, relaxed, peaceful
it was a beautiful area. the house was much bigger than what the photos show. the beddings were great, clean and comfortable. plenty of tea and coffee, salt pepper and condiments if you need to cook. if you have big family that goes through a lot of cups n dishes then do take some with you. but there are some cups and beautiful plates and bowels. and a good dishwasher. the fire place is lovely. the two outdoor settings are just brilliant. back yard is a heaven for kids and its all fenced off as well if you have a young one. no internet reception or really poor, we liked it but if you need internet, it will be a bit better near the main road. Woodend is a lovely little town, with very nice cafe and shops. the pub (victoria hotel) has great food.

We stayed at Duck Tree Lodge with our young children and loved it. The house was very clean, spacious and light-filled, and the hosts were very accommodating. It is very peaceful with bush surrounding the property and lots of birdlife. Our children loved the cubby etc in the backyard. The property is just a quick drive from the main street of Woodend, we would definitely stay again.

Better than the photos!
Duck tree lodge is a lovely home set on a beautiful tree filled lot. We were looking for a private, nature rich escape and found it tenfold here. The photos don't do justice to the amazing trees that surround Duck Tree. The house is generous and comfortable, had everything we needed. The fire kept us toasty warm after hiking (can also just walk around the property - and delight in the kookaburras). The owner Bianca was a delight to deal with and more than helpful with any questions. Communication was prompt and pleasant. Cannot recommend Duck Tree enough, we are looking forward to bringing the kids and some friends next time as there is so much room!
Thank you Bianca, we had a beautiful stay!
