Good location but listing details need to more accurate

The location was convenient to town and you can walk to the shore to watch the penguins. The breakfast supplies provided were nice. The house was lovely but different to what was in the photos.

The listing states free private parking on site, but when we arrived we were told to park on the street (council parking). We arrived after a long day and wanted to simply get the keys and rest, but were given a 20 minute tour of the house, including details of the history and people in photos. This information should be provided in writing so we could peruse at our convenience. During the tour, the owner found a used flannel in the shower and abruptly asked mum to hold it while the owner grabbed something else - really gross. Note, there is only a fridge and icebox, no actual freezer, so dont bring anything that needs freezing. Checkout on the listing clearly states 10am-11am, however, at about 9.57am the owners knocked on the door wanting to start cleaning. We had already started packing so asked for 10 mins to clear out. We were not impressed. Several things on the listing were not accurate.

Lovely well kept house in an excellent location with excellent hosts

The house was a lovely heritage building, with lots of history connected to the area. The hosts were excellent, always available and happy to accommodate any requests. Food was excellent and it was ideally located for our purposes. Warm and snug and all things well explained.

The shower was a bit dodgy and hard to regulate. Once it got going and got the temperature right it was alright but the pressure wasn't the best.

Wish we could have stayed longer.

This was such a lovely little old cottage. The owners were such a delight, very friendly and knowledgeable about the best places to visit, and we did just that, visited the locations that they suggested and we were not disappointed. Would definitely recommend to friends and family visiting Burnie.

A fabulous place to stay!!

Absolutely fabulous accom in a great location. Breakfast was fantastic and the kitchen so well stocked. Duck House is a unique house filled with history snd generosity snd love. The penguins are just down the the road with wonderful information from the volunteers. We loved our stay at Duck House. Thanks Tych and Lyn!

Good

My friends and I enjoyed looking at all the ducks... If you are not a fan this is not the place for you! It had an otherworldly feel to it all and reminded me of a house which might belong to someone's grandmother. According to my friends, their beds were comfortable, the breakfast was a great touch and they ate lots of bacon.

My friends loved it, I was not so keen.

Comfortable home with lovely decor in a great location.

Very charming house with helpful, intelligent hosts. Close to the beach - we were able to walk down in the evening to see the penguins. We only had one night - next time I’ll stay more- would be a lovely place to use as a base to explore Northern Tasmania.

That our stay was only one night.

Lovely vintage cottage full of charm.

Bountiful supply of breakfast..we cooked bacon and eggs with toast! Good location near penguin center and near town. The hosts are very friendly, they greeted us and gave us a quick history of the house. A very interesting vintage house full of history and character. It has a country feel that I really like.
