There’s a reason this two-bedroom holiday cottage in Burnie has won multiple awards and, believe it or not, it goes beyond the retro duck theme and quirky furniture – although these undoubtedly give this whimsical wonderland some extra pizzazz. It’s in everything else, too – from the friendly and attentive staff to the touches of luxury, like the claw-foot bathtub, the fluffy towels, the sunny cottage garden and cosy sitting room.
