King Parrot Cottages

King Parrot Cottages Accommodation, retreats, conferences and events located in the Otways, only 2 hours from Melbourne. Dogs are welcome by prior arrangement.

King Parrot Cottages and Event Centre provides accommodation near the Great Ocean Road and Lorne in the Otway Ranges, nestled on the north-facing hillside of the spectacular Pennyroyal Valley. Consisting five cottages, lodge, hall and campground, King Parrot is a popular destination for romantic getaways, family holidays or large family celebrations. The architecturally designed accommodation made

from local timber, is fully self-contained, ranging in size from single to four bedrooms, accommodating between two and fourteen people. Each offers comfort, character and privacy in a rustic bush land setting, including stunning valley views. The campground, surrounded by beautiful forest, provides the option of getting back to nature. There are eight very generous camping sites, including three cabin-tents, on the rainforest valley floor. We cap our camping area to a maximum of twenty two campers to ensure plenty of room and comfort. There is a wide range of activities at your finger-tips; the salt water swimming pool, games room with table tennis, fuse ball, air hockey, darts, board games, outdoor games and small indoor gym. Bush-walking tracks and waterfalls abound in the immediate vicinity and within close reach are the beautiful beaches along the Great Ocean Road, the wonders of the Otway National Park and the gourmet trail of berry farms, fine foods and farm produce. If you wish to book for a large family/friend gathering, it is a requirement that you book the whole property for a minimum of two nights and it must be booked directly with management. (Noise restrictions do apply). Our accommodation and hall combine to provide the perfect venue for corporate retreats, conferences as well as health, yoga, adventure and meditation groups. Being such a magnificent environment, King Parrot is also very popular for weddings. For Lorne accommodation enquiries and booking information please call us on 03 5236 3372 or go to www.kingparrot.com.au


We recognise King Parrot stands on what always was and always will be Gadubanud Country. We acknowledge descendants of the Gadubanud, along with others identifying as Maar, as the traditional owners of these unceded lands, waters and skies. Our acknowledgement also extends to the neighbouring Wadawurrung and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We pay our respects to Country, the people, and Elders: past, present and emerging. Gadubanud Country stretches between Painkalac and Yan Yan Gurt creeks, along Barre Warre Yulluk and Barrat (Barwon and Gellibrand rivers) and runs all the coast between. Five clans managed the area with fire to sustain life of Country and maintain travel corridors through the ranges. Cultural ties with the Gulidjan to the north and Kirrae Whurrung to the southwest are observed, and it has been said that Gadubanud translates to ‘King Parrot language’; a dialect belonging to the Gunditjmara language group. Nonetheless, colonial atrocities and the isolation of the rainforest have rendered knowledge of Gadubanud custom and tradition a relative mystery. Today still, the Otways can encompass inhabitants to feel beyond reach of the wider world. We are grateful to experience such solace here, like many generations before us.

"We had an amazing time with friends at Mannagum King Parrot Cottages. Surrounding is so amazing and had great experience to explore bush-walk, native animals and birds. Kids loved game room, swimming pool and specially the cute farm animals.
House was well equipped with beautiful styled kitchen. Loved the local products in the house and also information details to explore around.
Thank you Nicole. We will definitely be back."

After the recent rain and with warm weather forecast next week, we’re excited about the possibility of new fungi growth across the property! 🍄

King Parrot Cottages is home to a diverse range of mushrooms and fungi, which thrive in the moist conditions that spring rain provides. With the forest floors damp and the air warming up, we expect to see some vibrant and fascinating fungi popping up throughout our bushwalking tracks, especially along the creek/waterfall walk.

While we haven’t ventured down yet, we're pretty sure the King Parrot Cottages waterfall is flowing beautifully 💧

So, grab your hiking boots and explore! Who knows what unique treasures you’ll find among the trees? 🌱

Would you like to stay with us? If so booking directly is always your cheapest option ➡ www.kingparrot.com.au
