Nice place, has everything you need for a stay. In a safe and quiet neighbourhood. Very close to New World/ Countdown for food shops. Brett at reception was very friendly and welcoming. Comfy beds. Showers take a little while to heat up so it felt like I was wasting water but the hot water came through eventually. Would definitely recommend Duck & Drakes!

Brett was great, supportive, and has a caring personality...carried my bags from the car as i was on crutches. My bed was very comfortable with a nice view out on the courtyard. The kitchen has everything and there is a large lounge, sun/day room and dinning room...spacious, tidy and clean. Great value for money.

This is our accommodation of choice when we go to Ngāmotu (New Plymouth). The separate accommodation is excellent, and the location is fantastic.

Pleasant stay, not so pleasant weather.
I chose a one-bedroom cottage unit for our stay to give us a bit of extra room. I thought that by staying at Ducks & Drakes, we would be able to walk to some of the New Plymouth sites and this was the case. I also wanted to use the shuttle service to get to the National Park, but instead Brett recommended another company that offered private 3-hour city tours which suited our needs better, particularly as the weather was not great.

This was a wonderful place to stay with a really homely feel and beautiful common areas. Easy walking distance to the town, with two supermarkets just across the road.
