Golf at Barnbougle Lost Farm, 18 hole
Tee time: 10:00 am
Despite their close proximity, Lost Farm is remarkably different to The Dunes. Lost Farm features 20 holes, all of which are playable in any one round, and the course layout tracks along the coast and inland amongst sand dunes that are significantly steeper than those featured at The Dunes. The strategic bunkering and undulating greens combined with wide fairways make for a course that offers an exciting challenge for golfers of all abilities.

5 course degustation @ Wild Harvest
Our story within Wild Harvest is simple: It is all about the abundance of food within our region, King Island. Sea to Table, Paddock to Plate, in the pathway of the roaring 40s, a microcosm of everything pure; vegetable growers, beef, lamb, dairy, fish, crayfish, abalone, oysters.
Seasonal changes dictate culinary delights and are harvested and gathered under the restaurant banner of Wild Harvest. Our chefs transform the culinary delights of King Island into a gastronomical dining experience.
The ambience of the restaurant tells a story from the past to the future with a blend of new and old. Soldier Settlement scheme blue gum cladded shearing sheds are timeless feature walls, recycled baltic pine floors came from single men quarters of mining days. The rustic iron roof from the original tank maker’s shed now cloaks the king trusses. The overburden rock from mining days encapsulates the glow and crackle from the open fireplace.
