About The Perch Restaurant
The Perch is a restaurant, winery and gardens set deep in the wild Otway forest at Lavers Hill, on the Great Ocean Road. Old-growth rainforest walking trails, resident koalas and evening glow worms give this hinterland estate a genuinely enchanted sense of place, making it one of the more distinctive wedding venues on the Great Ocean Road.
Couples can exchange vows in the picturesque gardens, embraced by old-growth forest and native birdsong, then move to versatile reception spaces with both indoor and outdoor options. A dedicated coordination team looks after table and room styling, sound and every detail on the day.
Menus are custom modern Australian, crafted by the on-site chefs from the finest local produce sourced through nearby farmers and fishers, and paired with wine and cocktails from a skilled bar team. Kitchen gardens of native berries, fruits and herbs and the surrounding forest views round out the experience.
