King Parrot Cottages and Event Centre

King Parrot Cottages and Event Centre is a place where nature holds space for rest, renewal, and reconnection. Nestled on the northern slopes of the Pennyroyal Valley and surrounded by ancient trees and whispering bushland, our retreat venue feels a world away, yet it’s just two hours from Melbourne and one hour from Geelong.Set on 196 acres of pristine Otway forest, the property offers peace and seclusion in a landscape that feels sacred. Many retreat facilitators speak of the land’s unique energy, the sense of stillness, clarity, and connection that arises while walking beneath towering eucalypts, sitting beside the fern-lined creek, or witnessing kangaroos grazing at dusk.
