About this property
The Duckling, tucked among the towering gum trees
The Duckling | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom | Serene bush escape
Tucked among towering gum trees, The Duckling is a peaceful retreat just 8 minutes from Daylesford. Whether you're seeking a romantic escape, a solo getaway, or simply a place to unwind, this charming one-bedroom hideaway in Wheatsheaf beautifully blends rustic charm with modern comforts.
Step inside and feel instantly at home with a nectar wood-burning fireplace, a well-equipped kitchenette featuring a gas cooktop, microwave, and coffee machine, and a cozy lounge complete with a TV, sound system, Wifi and a split-system for heating and cooling.
Two handcrafted barn doors add to the unique character of the space. One opens to a queen bedroom, offering a private and inviting retreat, while the other reveals a stylish bathroom, complete with a luxurious king-size shower—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.
Thoughtfully designed with antique industrial touches, a striking black kitchen, and warm yellow accents, every detail has been carefully curated to create a space full of personality and charm.
Bring your furry friend! They’ll love it here! The Duckling is proudly pet-friendly, featuring a doggie door and secure fencing, so your pup can explore safely while you enjoy the tranquil surroundings.
While located on the same acreage as the owner’s residence, The Duckling offers its own private entrance and courtyard, ensuring complete privacy. Outside, a verandah with a BBQ invites alfresco dining, while the picturesque dam and jetty provide a peaceful spot to feed the ducks or simply soak in nature. The surrounding bushland and courtyard make it easy to switch off, slow down, and recharge.
Ideally positioned between Daylesford and the charming village of Glenlyon, where you’ll find a delightful old-world café, The Duckling is a true labour of love—a thoughtfully designed retreat where you can relax, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of country Victoria.
