Jumbo Golf is offering a group tour for golf enthusiasts to Tasmania, Australia, for a top-notch teeing off experience in some of the Southern Hemisphere’s finest golf courses, combined with indulgence in the freshest seafood, accommodation luxury and sightseeing.

During the period, when Hong Kong is shivering from the wintry cold, you can bask in the mild Australian weather with us and enjoy farm produce and seafood – oysters, lobsters, mussels and more - that are fresher than fresh, purer than pure. Look out for our visit to BrunyIsland, where a lavish seafood feast awaits you.

On the north East coast of Tasmania lies a hidden gem and two of the world's top Links golf courses, Barnbougle Dunes and Barnbougle Lost Farm.Conveniently accessible to your hotel, it offers the best natural landscape and terrains and a links layout comparable to the Scottish original. It’s also a walk-course with no golf carts allowed unless by medical reason, so as to preserve its grassland in impeccable condition. Besides the Barnbougles, we’ll also play at Country Club of Tasmania and Royal Hobart Golf Club respectively (golf carts available for rental there).

At the hotels we’ve arranged in this trip, you will be surrounded by luxury and taste. One example is Islington Hotel, Hobart. With stunning views of MountWellington, this luxurious exclusive enclave has a very limited number of rooms each of a distinctive character. Built in 1847, Islington’s Regency architecture has been restored to showcase its original glory. The owner will reserve entry-level rooms for us, but if our group outgrows its original capacity, free room upgrades will be offered to the ones who are the earliest to register and pay for this tour. Indeed, the Hotel, more of a well resourced friend’s private country manor with premium taste, has only eleven suites in total.

So hurry and act now !

The island has only a population 600 people but has a number of "boutique food outlets" to tantalise your tasty buds. We have designed a BrunyIsland's gourmet food trail to suit your particular gastronomic fancies.

Black Devil cherries are highly sought after in Australia and around the world for their intense, sweet flavour. As you set your foot on BrunyIsland, there is a small shed on the side of the road, dark red cherries are sold here in bags and boxes from after Christmas until the middle of February. Located three kilometres from the ferry, the Smokehouse is a small, quaint stone cottage with great views across Sykes Cove and the Channel. You can sample and buy Tasmanian produce that has been smoked on the premises such as trout, salmon, oysters, mussels, duck and more.

If time permits, we will stop over at Jetty Cafe for a coffee. It opened at the end of 2009 and is a welcome addition to the dining scene on BrunyIsland. The stylish and modern cafe/restaurant has a beautiful outlook over Barnes Bay. The spacious verandah has generous railings that are wide enough to safely rest a glass on while enjoying the fresh air and an uncrowded beach view. Many of the ingredients are sourced from local producers, such as lamb from the Murrayfield, and prepared with skill and imagination.

After all these gourmet food, you probably will fall asleep and have a nice dream on your way back to Hobart.
