Welcome to Parachilna - Your Bespoke Coastal Retreat
Perched high among the peppermint gums in the tranquil haven of Metung, Parachilna at Boardwalk Villas is a coastal retreat with a refined modern Art Deco vibe. Located on the lands of the Gunaikurnai people, we respectfully acknowledge them as the Traditional Custodians of this beautiful Country.
A Sanctuary in Nature Parachilna offers expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that capture serene tree top views and sparkling glimpses of Bancroft Bay. Drift into deep sleep to the soothing whispers of coastal breezes and distant surf. This is a place to reconnect, rejuvenate, and restore - where balance and peace flow effortlessly with nature.
