About this property
Yambacoona House: bring your people together on King Island
Yambacoona House is your place to re-connect with your friends and family away from the distractions of the world. How you do that is up to you.
Play golf and dine at Australia’s No1. Golf course, Cape Wickham; fishing and walk the beaches of Phoques Bay and Yellow Rock or swim at Disappointment Bay. Ramble the back roads and range the countryside; surf the famous Martha Lavina, and at the end of the day, sit round the fire with your people.
And once the fires have died down and the house falls quiet, step outside and lift your head a towards the blazing milky way and see it as it’s supposed to be seen.
Whatever you memories you decide to make, add them to the 120 years of people who have met, danced, dined, drunk, loved and lost, at Yambacoona House. Let your story become part of Yambacoona House - the beating historic heart of Northern King Island.
