Parachilna — A Treetop Coastal Retreat in Metung

Welcome to Parachilna, a serene treetop escape nestled among peppermint gums in the peaceful coastal village of Metung. Set on Gunaikurnai Country, this bespoke retreat blends modern comfort with a refined Art Deco edge—designed for slow living, deep rest, and quiet connection with nature.

Wake up among the treetops as soft coastal breezes drift through and glimpses of Bancroft Bay shimmer beyond the gums. Mornings begin slowly here—coffee on the deck, birdsong overhead, and the gentle rhythm of nature setting the tone for your stay.

Inside, open-plan living is warm, light-filled, and inviting. A wood combustion fire anchors the space on cooler evenings, while the fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to cook and share meals at home. Two generous bedrooms offer a quiet retreat, including a master that looks out onto native trees tops.

Large windows frame the surrounding landscape, intentionally bringing the outside in. Step onto the expansive deck for long lunches, a BBQ, or sunset drinks among the trees—it’s a space made for unwinding.

Life here flows effortlessly between rest and exploration. Wander or cycle along the nearby boardwalk into Metung village for cafés, restaurants, and boutique shops by the water. Spend your days kayaking or paddleboarding on the calm Gippsland Lakes, or moor a boat on the private jetty and explore at your own pace. Just five minutes away, the Metung Hot Springs offer geothermal pools, saunas, and spa treatments overlooking the lakes.

Guests also have access to shared resort-style amenities including a swimming pool, enclosed spa, and landscaped gardens—adding to the sense of ease and escape.

Parachilna is a place to slow down, reconnect, and settle into the rhythm of the coast.
