With 4 of Australia's best golf courses within easy reach of each other, Tasmania's Barnbougle & King Island have fast become Australia's hottest golfing destinations.
Both of these Tasmanian locations offer delightful non-golf attractions: King Island is renowned for its production of cheese and its fresh seafood, most notably the crayfish; and mainland Tasmania is the home to many well-known wineries, prestigious Chef-hatted restaurants and some incredibly beautiful nature reserves and national parks.
There are multiple options for getting to and from King Island and Barnbougle, including on both scheduled commercial flights and on chartered flights.
Following are a few suggested itineraries for your next Barnbougle and/or King Island golf trip. These are unescorted, private travel packages and can be booked for any time of year based on availability.
