Excellent, close to everything walking and driving. Quiet neighbourhood, nice and roomy and a beautiful breeze inside and out. Well equipped with everything you need for a holiday. Fully fenced dogs loved it. My daughter didnt want to leave. Will stay again

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. :)

Great property, close to off leash dog beach. Lovely amenities

Great location, close to dog friendly beach and esplanade. Where you can certainly get your 10000 steps aday. Great dog friendly yard. Home had everything you need, very nicely set up This was our third stay at Duk n Willa, and will be visiting again

Lovely home, comfortable, clean, convenient, an abundance of fresh sea breezes and lovely neighbourhood. This lovely little abode does however, need some tender loving maintenance care. Nothing major but certainly needs addressing.

Great home for our particular holiday experience, bringing 3 generations together for an interstate holiday. Close to beach and parks, shopping and restaurants; quiet street, plenty of room in the house and outdoors. Extra fridge space, great pantry and good quality appliances all appreciated. Property manager excellent to deal with.

This is our second time at Duk 'n' Willa and the property delivered again. Everything was as advertised and the location in close proximity to parks, shops and beaches was perfect for our family. The addition of the coffee machine was greatly appreciated! Thanks again Bridget - Ben.

As always, our annual stay at D 'n' W was perfect. Why? 1/ Lovely, comfy, and easy-to live-in property 2/ Big shady yard for our little dog to play and lots of room for our car and trailer, which we can wash as needed 3/ Nice outdoor area 4/ Yabby banks, fishing, kayaking and snorkelling all close by. 5/ Restaurants close by 6/ Bridget is a super host!

Fantastic accomodation one small constructive criticism would be to replace the mattress as a minimum in the master bedroom as it in my opinion is past it and I found it extremely uncomfortable maybe replace bed for a queensize as it appears to be a double? Apart from this the place is fantastic no issues with ventilation even in 2nd sunroom dispite fan not working. If that master bed is upgraded it would make such a difference thanks for a wonderful stay thank you we hopefully will be back

Great property for family of four with children or seniors plus a dog. The Queenslander house is clean and tidy. The property is walking distance to water park and off leased dog park. Probably adding more baking or basic cooking utensil such as colander, salad bowl, masher, etc. The internet and Netflix was great for our seniors parents. New oven and fancy toaster were fantastic. Second air-con or bigger fan in the back bedroom would be ideal especially in summer. Great for those coming for fishing trip. The second fridge would be helpful. Bridget was prompt with her communication. Thank you Bridget. Thank you for sharing a great holiday property . Regards, Theresa and Steve

Charming compact cottage, with everything you need, but in need of some TLC. Good sized yard (dotted with lovely perfumed frangipanis) and outdoor patio. The interior has been transformed and modernised, and tastefully decorated, but a bit tired. Loved what has been done to the front verandah to create a 3rd bedroom/sleep-out, but I gather it would be a very hot room in summer? The exterior desperately needs maintenance and the unsecured garage (roller door was partly open when we arrived, and half of it filled with bikes etc) can be an issue, but access to the yard by vehicles is no problem. Comfortable enough for short stays.

Great

We stayed at DuknWilla for the touch football state cup. The location was convenient to both local facilities and the grounds and the property was fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Bridget was easy to deal with and communication was always quick and clear. Thanks!

Duk 'n' Willa, we couldn't have asked for more, this beautiful old cottage was well presented, contained a tonne of hidden extras and the best bit - pet friendly :D! Easy to access on arrival with a separate 2 car garage and double gate, a large outdoor area and enter into our 5 day paradise at blissful Hervey Bay...... The more we looked through the property, the more little extras we found to make our stay comfortable.. Just by chance we even found a dog bed folded up under the BBQ, our dog loved it too. Comfy beds, wifi, netflix, dishwasher and well equipped laundry added to our beautiful break, and Bridget kept in contact with us unobtrusively through sms to answer all of our requests/questions.There are a couple of things to keep in mind, much of the property is not screened, however the main a/c works well. If you have a dog the gates latch well, however they do not lock. For shorties like me the roller door is too high to pull down once up. The property is generally peaceful but since the addition of the new estate a couple of years ago on Hythe Street, the corner the cottage sits on is a bit of a thoroughfare for local traffic, particularly at peak hour. Some more plus's - this property is seriously close to the off lead park and beach if you have a pooch. Dog bowls supplied and a well maintained yard. There are blinds and privacy blinds throughout as well as locks to all of the windows. The only complaint we had is that that the back security door will not lock (the front does lock though). Do not miss your stay at Duk 'n' Willa, thanks so much Bridget and the team, see you again soon xx :)

Overall the Property needs updating, i.e Blinds hard to open and close, broken louvre and they do not open fully, oven needs to be fixed loose seal, had to fix back screen door as it would not close, not very clean - dust everywhere, outside concrete near back door is a trip hazard. It is pet freindly.

Great little house, has everything you need. set up with everything you need, 2 x TV with netflix, fridge A/C dishwasher, washing machine and dryer, BBQ, outdoor area with table and chairs. lock-up double garage. heaps off room for car and boat if needed. Oven and microwave .very comfortable can't wait to stay there again.

What a great break! The cottage was excellent, good location and everything had been considered, every detail had been taken care of. Highly recommend

Whole process was simple and the house was perfectly located for our holiday.

My family and I stayed at the beach cottage for 2 months. We found it very welcoming, clean and comfortable. Bridget checked up regularly by e-mail and was quick to respond to queries or requests. We would highly recomend this accomodation.

This will be our third stay at Duk'n'Willa and each time we leave we say to each other how well the place works for us. It's perfect for our little dog with a big yard for games and close to dog beaches; it's perfect for our kayaking adventures; it's close to restaurants and "Op Shops" (my wife's love!); it's close to places to yabby and fish and launch kayaks ... and even snorkelling at "The Gables". The house itself is so easy to relax in and with Netflix included great for a bit of a binge, too ... aka 20 episodes of "Lost in Space"! All in all, we love the place.

We enjoyed our stay at Willa. The kitchen was clean and well stocked. The outside seating area was large and good for entertaining. The grill worked well. The beds were comfortable with nice linens and plenty of extras. The house was much smaller than we anticipated. The third bedroom on the porch was not the most comfortable but the main two bedrooms in the house were really nice. The house is not walking distance from town, especially if you have small children. It’s a 15 minute walk to Wetside and 45 minute walk to Hervey Bay. Otherwise, house was a great central location for accessing the area, and it’s a two-minute drive from Coles. We enjoyed our stay

Awesome little cottage / beach shack. Nice and comfortable with everything you need - iconic character house with timber floors and well laid out from an interior design perspective - loved it Very close to everything so well worth the money and experience Thank you :)

Great location with short walk to the water park and dog beach. Fully fenced for the dogs. Had everything we needed for a short getaway. Host very prompt at getting back to me.

It was dog friendly although a higher fence and covered would have led to a better experience BBQ needs to be replaced, one of the burners was corroded and dangerous. It was neat and tidy inside and would rent this property again.

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

We had a nice time and the house was in a convenient location as we had a car. Was nice to be able to take the fur babies.

A great relaxed place to stay. The fenced in garden is great for the children to run around and play safely. The house was a short walk to the beach and the water park. It is nice to be able to cook meals and the fact that there was things like cooking salt or oil there was a bonus.

Loved the cottage -hidden gem inside, well presented and comfy. Great location close to places we wanted to be. Top outdoor area to relax and watch our pooches play securely.

Minutes to the beach, quiet location. Pet friendly. Everything you could need.

My young family recently stayed 3 nights at Duk n Villa in April. The house is cosy and very clean. The bathroom is lovely and spacious. We stayed with our 3 dogs who enjoyed the large enclosed yard. The house has all the amenities you could possibly need for a young family. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Wonderful pet friendly relaxing stay. Greeted by a chorus of bird song each day All you could need on hand Wish we had stayed longer
