The Duck Inn overlooks picturesque Governor’s Harbour and Cupid’s Cay. Located in the heart of the township of Governor’s Harbour, grocery stores, shops and entertainment are with walking distance of the cottages.
The Duck Inn is part of the original settlement of Governor’s Harbour. Some of the buildings are almost 200 years old. Walls are built of solid limestone block carved from the hillside and cisturns. Roofs and interiors are prime heartwood timber hardened to steel-like strength over the ages. All cottages have been refurbished to pristine condition, decorated in tropical themes, furnished with authentic antiques and dressed in fresh flowers from the gardens.
Cottages
We have three luxury cottages nestled within orchid gardens and fruit trees. These rental cottages include two 1-bedroom cottages – “Cupid’s Cottage” and “HunnyPot”. And a 4-bedroom, 2-story house – “Flora’s”. All are beautifully maintained and include all the amenities needed to feel at home.
Each colonial cottage is beautifully decorated with polished wooden floors and antique furnishings. All three cottages have fully equipped kitchens, dining areas, verandas and living areas. Coffee makers, televisions and radios with CD players are included for your added convenience. All cottages are air-conditioned, have ceiling fans and maid service.
A stone barbeque grill and a large outdoor dining area with a tropical waterfall is available for guests’ use.
A fourth cottage at The Duck Inn is “Cornerwall” – John and Katy’s home. “Cornerwall” is a historic colonial Bahamian stone cottage with the verandah overlooking Governor’s Harbour bay. The recent photograph on the right was taken by a guest from inside the private garden of “Cupid’s Cottage”.

About The Landing
The Landing is a gracious, historic property dating back to 1800. This boutique hotel overlooks the harbour in the heart of Dunmore Town, an easy five minute stroll to the powder fine, pink sand beach where we have our own beach chairs and umbrellas for our guests to enjoy.
Our twelve guest rooms are designed and inspired by India Hicks in a classic plantation style with colonial inspired Caribbean influences. Visit “The Cellar” to make a purchase from his Wine Spectator award winning list or discover his collection of Cuban and other Caribbean rums, and fine spirits.
The library offers a quiet place to relax in a huge cane chair or cozy sofa and read one of the novels or photographic books that line the shelves. In the evening, sit back in one of the Adirondack chairs on the wide verandah and watch the sun set over the harbour. Guests can refresh themselves at the bar and dine in our world-class restaurant, which features a contemporary menu based on seafood and expertly prepared by Chef Vincent Vitlock.
