If you are looking for tranquillity and beautiful surroundings you need look no further. Duck Cottage is situated on a semi private stretch of the Vaal River just 2 km from Parys.
The river has easy access down our rolling lawns and the jetty area is paved. There is fantastic fresh water fishing, a run flow swimming pool overlooking the river or just relax in our lapa by the river. The river is perfect for canoeing. There is wildlife in the area and an abundance of bird life.
As there are 2 units and 1 house on the property, the lapa and jetty area is shared by all guests. Should you want exclusive use of the jetty and lapa, be sure to book all 3 units, so that you do not have to share with other guests.
Our cottages are owner managed and boast luxury fittings. The units are serviced daily and all ages are welcome.
