Come and enjoy a beautiful, relaxing space; rich in Western Victorian history and culture. At the end of the Great Ocean Road, nestled between Warrnambool and Port Fairy lies the timeless treasure of Koroit.

Koroit is the beating heart of Victoria's, if not Australia's Irish heritage. Set only minutes from Killarney, Port Fairy and Warrnambool.
Koroit Irish spud farmers built a thriving community that stays true to it's roots today.

Our former State Saving Bank of Victoria building is a National Trust two storey stone icon of the main street. It has been transformed into a beautiful and tastefully restored residence that furnishes all the modern appointments you could enjoy. It's the setting for that peaceful retreat or expedition base ready to check out all the delights of the region.

It's perfectly centered to enjoy all the attractions of Victoria's South West and even the South Eastern wine regions of South Australia (Some two and a half hours west.)

You could spend days exploring our nearby coastal towns and it's only an hour
and a half from The Great Ocean Road, the significant Bundj Bim Aboriginal cultural and volcanic lands and The Grampians (Gariwerd) mountains.

As a start, Koroit has a great supermarket, newsagents, pharmacy, butchers, coffee shops, bakery and curio shops all three minutes from the front door.

A short stroll down the street provides you all the restaurants and takeaway you'd need; with awesome choices from Asian, and European cuisine. Be sure to attend Izzy'z Greek Banquet night if in town when it's on, complete with plate smashing at the end of the doing the dishes.

Then there's the experience of Alex's Pizza and Wok where you can enjoy a super feed off their huge menu. The expansive rustic back room is awesome and you may often strike music and entertainment.

Just across the street from Alex's is The Little Thai House which is warm, welcoming and beautifully decorated. It has many excellent reviews.

But if a good pub is your fare, the famous Mickey Bourke's Iris pub is only four doors down from our place. A very beautiful historic building with a majestic lounge is the perfect place for a meal and regularly has musicians picking out a tune by the cozy fireplace.

On the Western end of the main street lies The Commercial Hotel; also a welcoming haunt for a coldie and meal while listening to some live music.

One of my favourite cultural hubs is on the edge of town at St Bridget's Hall Crossley. Here, on occasions, you can experience an old time dance or concert which draws big crowds. The 'Five Minutes Of Fame' nights are huge; held monthly. But many other concerts crop up at different times of the year courtesy of local, national and even international artists.

During the famous Port Fairy Folk festival, held in March, the whole area is buzzing as the music and crowds and entertainment overflowing into Koroit.

The Koroit Irish Festival held in late April is massive; and the biggest event on the town's calendar. The town bursts into life with markets, processions, dancing, busking, concerts, music competitions, spud picking and even a Gaelic Games Sporting Carnival. It's definitely a 'must see.'

Perhaps the "Jewell of the crown" is on the edge of the the town. The majestic extinct volcano now called "Tower Hill". On the Southern edge of Koroit in a significant State Park, with outstanding views of the surrounding area, wet lands, Australian flora and fauna and bush walks; complete with cultural and picnic areas.The ‘Peek Wuurong’ people here, I believe, belonged to the Gunditjmara clans that have inhabited the area for millennia. Kangaroos, Koalas, Emu, magnificent bird life and reptiles adorn the park at different times of the year.

For the geologist, it is wonderful 'nested marr' volcano, showing multiple craters on an island surrounded by a lake; within the base of the larger remnant of the earlier huge volcano. Some 25,000 years ago it exploded with the force somewhat similar to a nuclear blast. It is but one of the sites that are a part of the World Heritage listed volcanic plains of Victoria. Many others are within an hour or so.

Tower Hill's volcano is responsible for another awesome treasure just south of Koroit. Over the flowing green hills toward the sea you'll find Killarney; suitably named after its Irish counterpart. Just 10 minutes down the road is Killarney beach where the black basalt lava cooled in the southern ocean forming beautiful coves of rock and white sand. These provide delicate calm beaches for family swimming, snorkeling, SCUBA diving and fishing among the many onshore reefs. There's a boat ramp off the beach and you can bet King George Writing, Garfish, Salmon, Crayfish, Abalone, Pinky Snapper and Blue Throat Wrasse will be found.

All up Koroit is truly the best base for spending time in Victoria's South West and you'll begin the adventure at 'The Bank.'

- "Really comfortable,cozy place in a relaxing atmosphere,love it" - "Wonderful place to experience. Great stay" - "My wife and and I loved the property and location. It was very well presented, clean and cosy. Welcomed the personal touch with lollies, wine and welcome notes. Its a pity we were only there for the one night as we were in transit to another holiday destination. Highly recommended!" - "This property is even better than the photos. A beautiful old building, so solid the floor boards don't even creak. Lots of room and a very comfortable bed."

Just minutes from both Port Fairy and Warrnambool, Tower Hill House offers you the best short break or longer stay holiday you could ever want.

Tower Hill House is spacious, extremely comfortable and very well equipped. There are spectacular panoramic ocean views - and 6 acres of native gardens.

There is a fully equipped kitchen complete with Italian Ilve professional chefs stove, new Bosch dishwasher and all mod cons. We supply freshly ground coffee for the espresso machine, as well as useful items such as olive oil, spices, tea, sugar, salt etc.
So you can sit back and read a book from the library, perhaps watch a DVD, listen to music… Or just relax on the north facing sunny verandah, complete with Webber BBQ - or in the garden - Its your choice.

We promise your stay will be as memorable as it is enjoyable!

Like the roos you can hop over the garden fence directly into the nature reserve where there are kilometres of wonderful walks, up and down hills, board walk over water, have a picnic, etc.

Tower Hill House is within an easy distance to so many attractions - The Great Ocean Road and The 12 Apostles, The Grampians, the seal colony at Bridgewater Bay near Portland, are all a leisurely day trip. And over winter the southern right whales arrive at Logan's Beach in Warrnambool.

Things to do

Tower Hill Nature Reserve

To see an arial drone video of Tower Hill House and the surrounding nature reserve, please click on the link on the homepage.

Though you can drive through, there is direct access to the reserve from our garden. The Tower Hill Nature Reserve is nestled inside an extinct volcano and is a beautiful haven for all sorts of wildlife.

Tower Hill is also great for bushwalking and picnics (BBQs and facilities provided). Guided day or night tours can be booked at the Tower Hill Natural History Centre (T ), which is open daily.

Tower Hill was created some 25,000 years ago in a violent volcanic eruption. The force of the blast created a funnel shaped crater, which was later filled by a lake and island.

On a walk you could well see possums, echidnas, cape barren geese and wedge-tailed eagles (Australia's largest bird of prey). Keen twitchers might also spot chestnut teal, musk duck and spoonbills from the boardwalks and bird hide. Eagles often soar at dusk.

There are numerous activities and events throughout the year in both Port Fairy and nearby Warrnambool - Including the well known Port Fairy Folk Festival... boat trips, beach walks, golf, shopping, restaurants and great food!

- "The house is lovely and comfortable and the slow combustion heater really kept us warm and relaxed. The kitchen is fabulous with everything we needed. We did a lot of cooking, eating and drinking wine. The views are absolutely gorgeous and walking over the back fence to the crater is breathtaking. So close to Warrnambool, Port Fairy and Koroit so easy to get anything you need. Also very close to a beautiful beach which, as Richard the host says, if you see one person, it’s a busy day. We went on a Worn Gundidj tour of Tower Hill which I highly recommend. Our guide Brett was warm, friendly and knowledgeable about the volcano and the surrounds and it was a privilege to get a First Nations perspective on the history. We didn’t see or hear much of Richard while we were there, but had some great chats with him on the phone. Knows the area like the back of his hand and is very happy to share tips, particularly good eateries, beach directions, shops etc etc. Loved our time here. Thanks Richard!"
