King Island
King Island is unlike anywhere else.
It is home to highly productive agricultural land, pristine sweeping beaches, rugged coastlines, abundant birdlife and wildlife, internationally renowned produce and some of the world’s great links golf courses.
It is an island of ancient geology and remarkable history: from a 7,000-year-old calcified forest and Australia’s tallest lighthouse, to suspended lakes, working farms, wild coastlines and surf breaks recognised around the world.
And then there is the food.
King Island has earned its reputation as Australia’s Gourmet Island. Our experiences follow that story from paddock and ocean to plate: visiting producers, exploring the food trail and bringing those ingredients into our restaurants and cooking masterclasses.
For photographers, the possibilities are equally diverse: landscapes, seascapes, wildlife, birdlife, agriculture, history, sunrises, sunsets and the constantly changing moods of Bass Strait and the Southern Ocean.
