Parkwood Cottage
Overview
Parkwood Cottage is a private, self-contained retreat designed just for couples, perched at the highest point along the Great Ocean Road near Lavers Hill. Tucked within the owners expansive property, the cottage is surrounded by lush rainforest, native parrots, and even its own glow-worm colony that lights up the evenings. Its a spot where you can truly unwind, breathe in the fresh Otway air, and let the natural world do the rest.
With all the comforts needed for a relaxing stay, Parkwood Cottage makes an ideal base for exploring the Great Otway National Park, the iconic 12 Apostles, and the Otway Fly treetop walk. After a day of adventuring, you can return to your peaceful hideaway, enjoy a massage in the privacy of your cottage, or sample local fare at nearby cafes and the Lavers Hill tavern.

Guests love Parkwood Cottage for its peaceful, beautiful setting with gardens, birdlife and forest views. Reviews rave about cosy nights by the wood heater/fireplace, a super comfortable bed, spotless spaces and a well equipped kitchen. The spa bath is a favourite extra, and the propertys little rainforest trail down to the billabong, complete with glow worms at night, is a standout. It is pet friendly with a secured garden, and the location is handy to Port Campbell, Apollo Bay, waterfalls, beaches and parks along the Great Ocean Road. If you do not feel like cooking, meals at The Perch in town come recommended.
Several reviewers mentioned Kim for helpful, thoughtful hosting, from friendly tips to keeping the firewood stocked. All up, a great value, super cosy getaway that many say they would happily return to.
