Ducks and Drakes Motel, Backpackers and Shuttle

Ducks and Drakes Motel, Backpackers and Shuttle Motel, Backpackers and Mountain Shuttle. Central, warm and homely. Or not.

Great value space that everyone gets comfortable in. 82% of 1 night bookings turn into extended stays. Sunny, grassed courtyard and gardens as well as a selection of indoor spaces where you can meet interesting people from all around the world. There's also some awesome space to just chill in by yourself or with whatever company you choose.

Nothings beats freshly air-dried sheets… and lower power bill;)

One of the perks of staying at D&D - plenty of outdoor space to hang out your washing, especially with Summer slowly approaching 😍
