Yambacoona House

Fully restored and configured for 8 or more guests to stay in spacious comfort, Yambacoona House boasts dining and lounge rooms, large country kitchen with a fireplace, four bedrooms and two sunrooms. Here there is room for everyone to recharge and reconnect in the old school historic environment of fires, BBQs, and big night skies. Yambacoona House is your base to explore King Island, just minutes from Cape Wickham Links and Ocean Dunes golf. 

Re-connect with your people in the historic heart of Northern King Island: Yambacoona House.

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!

You can play golf at Australia’s No1. Golf course, Cape Wickham; go 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 low and the house falls quiet, step outside and lift your eyes towards the blazing milky way and see it as it’s supposed to be seen.

Whatever 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.
