Nurtured by nature and brought to life by the heartbeat of the surf, this truly is the king of all islands.
Some 80km off Tasmania’s north-west coast, King Island offers rugged coastline, famously good produce and seafood, a rich seafaring history and some of the finest golf experiences in the world.
Settle into a luxury stay on a remote slice of island coast. Ponder the power of the ocean as you paddle into one of Australia’s great surf waves, or take a tranquil short walk and explore the rugged coastline.
The ocean is life on this island, but it’s also brought death. A trail of shipwrecks lines the battered shores, where the fury of the sea lashes against Seal Rocks, and cliffs plunge more than 60 metres into the surrounding Southern Ocean.
Cradled within the protective shores of its ruggedly beautiful coastline you’ll discover lush green pastures that yield some of the nation’s finest produce. Tuck into a tender, juicy steak made from the island’s famed grass-fed beef, or pack your own gourmet beach picnic complete with a selection of King Island’s acclaimed specialty cheeses. Indulge and unwind with handcrafted island spirits such as gin or vodka, or sample a selection of craft beers from the local King Island Brewhouse.
For a distinctly unique dining experience, grab a crayfish pie or your favourite island ingredients and head on down to the quirky Restaurant With No Food. This quaint boathouse-style venue is nestled on the shores of Currie Harbour, providing an idyllic island ambience for preparing and enjoying your very own delicious DIY feast.
After all this indulgence you may be eager to stretch your legs. Wander among crazy limestone features that jut into the sky in a calcified forest, trace a path above the island’s tallest cliffs on the Copperhead trail, or simply stroll the sands at Martha Lavinia Beach to a soundtrack of surf.
Secluded, decadent and luxurious - King Island will leave you feeling like royalty!
