Ducks Crossing Cottage is a 15 minute walk to the pretty village of Devonport. Positioned in a quiet location, Peter & Gwenda can be justly proud of their superb b&b which not only offers comfy beds and delicious breakfasts in a home away from home environment, but has the added advantage of two absolutely wonderful hosts who go to the nth degree to ensure your stay with them is perfect and one to remember. It would be very difficult to find another b&b that offers the same level of service, conversation, kindness and generosity that exists at Ducks Crossing. We wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Breakfast was the best we experienced in all our travelling of the North island. We were being catered for by a gourmet chef! Hospitality and local sight-seeing advice were excellent. Our accomodation was very comfortable and private. We highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates quality food and a good yarn.

We could not have started and ended our N.Z. vacation at a better B & B. Gwenda and Peter must be the most delightful and thoughtful hosts in N.Z. Very comfortable accomodation, beautiful grounds, wonderful hospitality and Peter's breakfast is a work of art. Definitely 5 star in every respect. Kindest Regards. Rachel and George. Canada.

A very pleasant stay with most hospitable hosts. Superb grounds/gardens with lovely peaceful atmosphere. Gwenda and Peter went out of their way to go the extra mile and in all our years of travelling far and wide, the breakfast they served was absolutely superb!

Hi Gwenda and Peter, thanks for your hospitality during our 2 short stays in January 2005. Our first B&B experience in New Zealand was made very enjoyable through your kind hospitality, great breakfasts and mine of knowledge about the area. We hope to make a return visit to New Zealand and to Ducks Crossing some day in the not too distant future. Best regards, Sharon and Roland.

Our stay has ben wonderful. Gwenda and Peter are very warm and friendly hosts. The room we stayed in was well decorated and the breakfast was excellent. If you oblige him, Peter will tell you a fish story or regale you with episodes of his exploits during his seafaring days. They are even gracious enough to let you win a game of scrabble or two.
