I had the best relaxing time here. Was fantasic to just unwind away from the hustle and bustle. Nicely located away from everything in the area but close enough for a day trip.Will stay here again the in future
A beautiful cottage in the most picture perfect setting, everything you need for a relaxing get away. The bird life was incredible and the walks around the property delightful
Great base for travels along the Great Ocean Road but just as perfect to sit still and relax
Save this address for a rainy day... better, more :)
We enjoyed a very private and quiet settings of this place and our host's attention to the detaiis.A fireplace made our day, rather night! Cosy and romantic, especially great when it is raining.There was virtually no TV reception - bring your own selection of dvds or use available collection.
It is a really pretty place to stay and explore the Otways . We had a great time and Parkwood cottage did everything except show us a platapus!!
Highly recommend and very dog friendly being so well fenced .
Thanks Kim

We have begun booking stays only at pet friendly locations. This was a beautiful place with a lovely fenced front yard. The stove was set up to start a fire quickly, lots of firewood to keep us warm and simply lovely views through the windows. We were able to go off and explore the surrounding areas easily and there are so many options to choose from. We loved it and may be back one day.
We had a wonderful time at this extremely quiet cottage which was set in beautiful forest. Its location suited us very well for doing walks on the Great Ocean Road. It was very convenient to drive 1 kilometre to the town of Lavers Hill where we enjoyed good quality pub food and friendly service at The Otway junction Motor Inn. The only possible down side was the poor TV reception.
We had a lovely relaxing time in this cosy little cottage. The views from everywindow were breathtaking, the fire (as well as back up heating if you're feeling lazy) kept lovely and warm and soaking in the spa after a days walk was a nice treat. Loved strolling down the property through the rainforest at night to see the glow worms. Our host seemed lovely, we didn't see much of him because the cottage is nice and secluded, but he was very quick to respond to any questions. We would love to come back and highly recommend staying
We would highly recommend staying at Parkwood cottage. Very peacful and relaxing.
The private rainforest and billabong are a winner.
Lots of birds and we were able to see glow-worms.
Johanna beach is a short drive away, pet friendly and beautiful.
We will definitely be returning. Thank you Kim!
Amazing place to stay the property and the cottage is stunning and is in the perfect location to explore the great Ocean road, I took my dog with me and the property was perfect for him also
Private and secluded. Spa was lovely.
No heating on to welcome our arrival such as a weak reverse cycle which was basically almost had it anyway. No instructions for Coonara use. Took approx 2 hours to get the cabin warm as it was a cold night. No TV reception at times which I followed up with the host but it ittermitently worked. Blocked bathroom basin so we didn't use it.
Cleanliness was great, bed comfy and warm, furnishings rustic but too our style if you like that. Allow the Coonara to warm it up first if cold, go out and come back later is my advice. Glow worms were a bonus.
Entry and exit from property is a bit hazardous as it's on a bend. Slow right down and indicate.
Beautiful location with an amazing yard. A forest! Also great communication from Kim. Cottage was beautiful. My friends are already asking about this! I am recommended indeed.
My Wife and I had an amazing stay at Parkwood Cottage. A fantastic place for a disconnected holiday with a beautiful setting, ample space to wander on the property and privacy from the primary property. The cabin is furnished with everything you might need for a cozy weekend away with firewood for the firepalce and a split system, suitable TV and lovely spa bath.
Only area for improvement is that the little bar fridge really struggled to keep up with us loading it up with a weekend's of snacks and drinks. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
We enjoyed a very relaxing weekend at Lavers Hill. The cottage is super comfortable and surrounded by nature which we both loved. A short drive to Johanna beach and also the Otways TreeTops (and Triplet Falls which are also worth seeing). Highly recommend.
We absolutely loved staying here! The property is enchanting from the moment you drive in, and the cabin offers the perfect combination of privacy and serenity. Kim is a fantastic host and we are so glad we had the opportunity to stay here and learn more about the area, we will definitely be returning, highly recommended!
The shack is out the back of the property and you have virtual privacy, meaning the views of the garden are all yours. There's a lovely front door balcony to sit on, and the spa bath soothed away my aches and pains from the day's walks and helped me to feel pampered.
Check in was super easy, and while I had no contact with the hosts while I was there I was confident I could contact them about anything, and grateful to know they were also just up the hill.
