Nestled snugly within Harcourt’s rolling granite hills, with breathtaking views of the Sedgwick ranges, lies “MillDuck”, a secluded, StrawBale retreat, central to Maldon, Castlemaine, & Bendigo.

Discerning guests will appreciate the thick walls, quality finish & peaceful, cosy atmosphere created within the units, along with the old world, rustic charm spread throughout this 35 acre property. The late (noon) checkout caters for a lazy sleep in as well as satisfying budding explorers.

Cook your own food using the kitchenette facilities - electric frypan, hotplate, oven (Convection/Microwave) or the “elite” 6 burner BBQ

What started, back in January 1991, as a dream & a collection of cut outs pasted in scrap books, is now a property continually being discovered by guests who aren’t afraid to diverge off the beaten track in pursuit of a unique & memorable experience.

Garden lovers will enjoy browsing through the garden which is enhanced by unique pieces of “garden art”, including memories of times gone by & conveniently placed seats from which to contemplate the magnificent views.

Fish from the jetty while your partner relaxes on an outdoor lounge chair under the willows.

Enjoy the flames from the luxury of your double (corner) spa (rainwater is plentiful).

A brisk walk up to the lookout with the binoculars (provided) will enhance the senses as you pick out the birds of prey soaring on wind currents looking for food.

If it’s warm & relaxing or a good book is on your mind, you’ll find the hammocks located under the blue gums.
