Noise Policy
Although King Parrot Cottages and Event Centre is a family-friendly property, we are bound by regulations around excessive noise as determined by the Environment Protection Authority of Victoria. There are neighbouring properties in the valley and noise travels unhindered around the hills and through the bush, especially at night. Our policy is to maintain a minimal environmental impact so that others, as well as our guests, may enjoy the peace and beauty of the Pennyroyal Valley. Therefore, the management of King Parrot reserves the right to control the level of noise created on the property and in the evenings noise must be kept to a minimum after 10:00pm on weekdays and 10:30pm on weekends. Again, to retain the tranquility of the valley for both our neighbours and our guests, amplified music is not permitted outdoors at any time.

** STRICTLY NO PARTIES **

Covid Cancellation Policy:

To support you during the COVID-19 situation, we’ve implemented a flexible booking policy for current and future bookings. This policy makes it easier to change your booking dates should an issue arise as a direct result of COVID-19. Guests will have the option to change the date of their booking or accept a credit which is valid for up to 12 months, or receive a full refund should any of the criteria, listed below, impact their planned stay:
• You or member from your household tests positive to COVID-19
• You are forced into government instructed self-isolation

• A state or government directive is issued and means you are no longer able to travel to or from your destination
• A refund will not be provided for any guests from interstate if Victorian border closes due to an outbreak in another state.
• Refunds will not be provided if restrictions impact the intent of our stay. (ie. If you booked with the intent to share a cottage with another family but restrictions do not allow this, however restrictions allow one family to stay a refund will not be provided).

If a guest needs to cancel due to personal covid symptoms, 100% of payments are forfeited.

For Wedding bookings the initial non-refundable deposit will be forfeited regardless of the reason for the cancellation.
