Raleigh Apartment | Duck Heaven in Bellingen Shire

1 Bedroom Apartment in Raleigh

Duck Heaven in Bellingen Shire has a rustic vibe that will suit people looking for a place that’s a bit different.
The four-acre property fronts a paperbark-studded billabong that’s home to many species of waterfowl, including wild ducks, spoonbills, herons, egrets, purple swamp hens, and the occasional jabiru.
Conveniently located a kilometre from the highway and midway between Sydney and Brisbane, Duck Heaven is less than 10 minutes from the gorgeous riverside and seaside towns of Urunga and Mylestom, 15 minutes from bohemian Bellingen with its vibrant festival scene, lively markets and abundant cafes, and 20 minutes from the regional city of Coffs Harbour. You can check out the delights of the local area on this website - LifeUnhurried dot com/bellingen-shire-nsw-australia/
The self-contained, open-plan studio occupies about half of the mud-brick building that was the original home on the property and has its own private, fenced courtyard garden.
There's a queen-sized bed with a comfy mattress as well as a sofa bed that could sleep an extra adult or child. The queen bed is in one leg of an “L” shape, so it has some privacy from the sofa bed in the living room, but there’s no door separating them.
The kitchenette has a microwave, kettle, toaster, coffee plunger and bar fridge, as well as crockery and cutlery. We supply a simple breakfast of cereal, milk, tea and coffee.
The studio and the fenced courtyard are all yours. From inside the studio, you can enter the shared garage area via a connecting door to access the laundry, additional clothes hanging/drying space, two bicycles and a selection of books in a glassed cabinet.
The car kept in the garage is not used much, so it’s unlikely you will be disturbed by the sound of the roll-a-door.
Our own house is down the hill and is fenced to keep our dog confined, so please be careful not to leave any gates open if you need to visit us.
If you follow the driveway through a pocket of rainforest past the main house, you can explore the garden and billabong area and meet our small flock of mixed poultry.
PLEASE NOTE
We’re in a rural area so you may encounter some insects, possums, bandicoots, brush turkeys, or a (harmless) green tree snake or carpet python.
We have tank water and a septic system.
* the kitchen tap has a filter for drinking water
* during a power outage, the pump will not work to supply water
* only human waste and toilet paper can go in the toilet
* we do not allow pets

Summary: We had a lovely stay as two adults and our daughter. The property was exactly as advertised and suited our needs perfectly. Janene very generously gave us beautiful bananas from their crop. Sounds of nature were the only noises we heard which was lovely. Great stay!

Summary: A lovely property. Perfect for a single person or couple. Only 7 minutes from family nearby. Clean and inviting. Bed was very comfortable however pillows were a bit soft. Easily cooled on hot day and very pleasant to be in. Sofa could do with replacing. Not good for arthritic knees!! Difficult to get out of. Bathroom was lovely. Would definitely book this accommodation again. Thank you for a great stay. Lovely outlook.

Summary: It was clean and the bed was comfortable. It was very cold when we stayed here in April 22, but it was sooooo cold inside too as the window in the bathroom doesn’t close and there is no bathroom door. The curtainless windows didn’t help either. It was so cold and we felt awful turning on the aircon as a few seconds after it was off the chill was back in the room. There was a second doona which was great. Tank water may have been in use for both sinks, which I wish I knew prior to brushing my teeth and having tea. The bed squeaked the three times I got up in the night and so woke my husband. I missed having a mirror to see how I looked, there is a small one in the bathroom but I’m not very tall and so could just see my face. The shower was too low for my husband who is only six foot. We loved the shower look though and the timber benches and shelves were very cool. While I’m on my rant…plates were wet, bowls were dirty, tea cups stained, there is no light above the kitchenette so I relocated the bedside lamp to make dinner. Though, only 15 mins to Bellingen and close to the motorway and we didn't hear any traffic noise. We cancelled our return stay as the cold and the squeaky bed were too much to deal with...

Summary: We very much enjoyed our stay at Duck Heaven. The property is extremely comfortable, spacious and inviting, and it has everything needed for a short break. We wished there was more time to sit out in the lovely courtyard and enjoy the garden, but hopefully we will visit again and stay longer. Thank you Janene for the extra touches which make the studio so comfortable. We will highly recommend this property to anyone wishing to explore the region.
