About The Duck

Perched in Coromandel Valley, this Adelaide Hills retreat pairs dual crackling fireplaces with a leafy dog-friendly veranda deck. Regulars make the climb up the hill for classic counter hospitality and duck-led menu standouts—think red curry duck, tender confit duck crostini, and hearty schnitzels washed down with craft beer. Milestones get genuine care, marked by thoughtful table touches and complimentary celebratory desserts. When winter rolls in, settle near the hearth over baked Camembert and spiced duck.

  • Twin open fireplaces: Indoor hearths keep cold Adelaide Hills afternoons warm and relaxed over hearty counter meals.
  • Duck menu specialties: Signature waterfowl plates like red curry duck, confit crostini, and spiced duck sit alongside pub staples.
  • Dog-friendly deck: Spacious outdoor veranda welcomes pups alongside friends and family for sunny afternoon drinks.
