King Parrot Cottages & Conference Retreat

Giant ferns, waterfalls and towering native trees combine to offer a first rate bush walking experience. There are a range of walks to choose from, the easiest being a leisurely 45 minute stroll and the most challenging being a 5 hour walk into the Angahook State Forest.

Nearby attractions: Beaches
* King Parrot is close to the world famous Great Ocean Road. A wonderful day trip can be enjoyed with a short trip to Lorne and then onwards to the most stunning part of the Great Ocean Road. One of the most visited stretches of the road is Port Campbell. Buffeted by wild seas and fierce winds, the coastline around Port Campbell has been sculpted over millions of years to form a series of striking rock stacks that rise out of the Southern Ocean. Known as the Twelve Apostles, they are one of the most spectacular natural attractions in Victoria.
* Lorne is only 24 kilometres away and offers magnificent coastal scenery, world class beaches and great restaurants.
* Just down the road is a berry farm where you can pick your own berries in season or turn your hand at trout fishing. Horse riding is also available locally.
* There are a number of friendly country pubs and restaurants nearby offering good meals, friendly service and local wines. E.g. Old Lorne Road Olives Restaurant for a delicious lunch with local wine in the olive groves, Martians cafe for those who like a funky place to have a vege burger or curry.
* The Otways has an ideal climate for growing many varieties of grapes and we have some excellent local vineyards. Gosling Creek has a lovely full bodied shiraz and Blakes Estate make a burgundy style pinot noir. Along with Dinny Goonan Estate in Bambra and other local wineries you can taste and enjoy wines at relaxed and informal cellar door, all situated in a picturesque vineyard setting and surrounded by a rural tranquillity.
