King Parrot Cottages and Event Centre

King Parrot Venue hosted our wedding in March of this year. Nicole and Ryan the King Parrot owners truly made our wedding experience specular. They are the dream team! Nicole from day one was so efficient and clear with communication, but was also so helpful in terms of our queries as well as providing us with recommendations of local vendors. Ryan was so accommodating and helpful the days leading up to our wedding and also on our wedding day.King Parrot is quite honestly one of the most beautiful places and most peaceful within Victoria. Its situated on the top of a valley, surrounded by forest and bush. The addition of an assortment of gorgeous friendly animals (sheep, highland cows, alpacas, horses and donkeys) just made it all the more special.Lastly our stay in the Windmill lodge was magnificent! Completely surrounded by nature, it was so cozy, clean and comfortable. The addition to small details such as an vast T2 collection, local plunger coffee and a delightful room spray really shows how much thought and care Ryan and Nicole have for King Parrot.Would recommend King Parrot for both a trip away and a wedding venue again and again! We loved it and so did each of our guests.Thank you so much Nicole & Ryan! :)

We had our wedding here in January 2023 and it was PERFECT. Nic and Ryan were incredible hosts and all our guests had the most epic weekend staying in the beautiful KP. It felt like a fairytale - kangaroos jumping across the paddock as the sun set, beautiful cabins, amazing facilities and the best vibes ever. Best decision we ever made.

We chose King Parrot (Lodge & Hall) as a venue to host a gathering of friends and respective offspring and dogs for a weekend break which we have infrequently done in the past at other venues around Victoria.KP was without doubt the best venue we have stayed at. It really is fabulous.One is always a little apprehensive about the quality of accommodation that accepts pets; but there is no need to be concerned here, as the fixtures and fittings are of good quality, well maintained, but not overly fussy/delicate.The kitchen was wonderfully equipped and the large communal area of dining (on the mezzanine) and living was perfect to accommodate our numbers. It never felt like anyone was on top of anyone else, and yet we all felt connected.During one of Victoria's colder spells the fire kept us all toasty, and the beds were super comfy.Outside the lodge is also magnificent. We all arrived at night, and collectively our mouths dropped open at the view we woke up to; a panorama of fields and forest, scattered with a mob of kangaroos, a horse, a couple of (very friendly) donkeys and an alpaca. On occasions we wandered down to the dam, and utilised the yabba nets (successfully) and also wandered further afield into the forest tracks, but be wary there are leeches waiting in the undergrowth to attached themselves to you and/or your dog; and the odd intimating bull.Both the games room and the park were popular with the kids, and BBQ area was the perfect place to cook up a breakfast feast.Wonderful.One point of note, however, while we understand it, the strict 10am check out was a frantic deadline to make, and we wondered if on occasions when there wasn't back to back occupancy, this could be communicated across and tolerated on a booking by booking basis.Nit-picking the smallest of nits. Thank you. We think (if you allow us) we will be back!:-)

It was such a lovely long weekend for our family staying at the Aquila cottage. The view is amazing both daytime and night. We enjoyed the walking tracks and the pet farm. The communication was very efficient and thoughtful . Highly recommend this place if you want a quiet gateway to relax!

This was the perfect place to spend the long weekend for our family reunion. The managum cottage came equipped with everything we needed, from the BBQ to baking trays for scones. There is plenty to do around the property too and we loved the bush walks, pool and games room. Lots of wildlife as well with the visiting parrots keeping us company at the outside deck. Thank you Nicole for letting the kids feed the horses and donkeys. They miss Coco!

We recently hosted a 5 day, intensive meditation retreat at King Parrot and absolutely loved it! The location is stunning and provided the perfect setting for participants to relax, unwind and connect with nature - the views and the animals never got old. From an organiser's perspective, the venue had the perfect balance of private and communal spaces which made group practice, discussion and meal times very easy and enjoyable while also allowing for guests to take time for quiet reflection. Will definitely be back to run another retreat here! Thanks so much to the KP team for being so wonderful to deal with and for all you did to make this such a smooth stay.

Thank you so much for the peaceful, beautiful stay at the campgrounds cabins. The staff are absolutely incredible, friendly and accommodating.The beds were super comfortable and all the amenities were so lovely. We definitely felt that there was so much love and detail gone into the whole experience.The walks were breathtaking as well.Thank you so much for having up KP team. We are looking forward to our next visit.

One of my favourite retreat places EVER! The customer service is 6 stars, the managers and owners are so lovely and our guests had the best time. It is so equipped with everything and the venue is just gorgeous, you can tell there is just so much love poured into this place. We will be back for sure! Thank you to Nicole, Kal and Maggie for being so amazing!

Absolutely beautiful cottages on a beautiful property. Loved the wood fireplace and all of the blankets in assorted locations within, made it feel very homey. No contact check in is awesome. Had to fix the internet when we got there but it worked ok considering the location!
