Golf at Barnbougle
Play worry-free.
You've dreamed about playing Barnbougle — world-class links golf carved into Tasmania's wild coastline. The Dunes. Lost Farm. Bougle Run. Now you just need somewhere brilliant to stay that doesn't involve a two-hour pre-dawn drive or fighting for on-course accommodation that books out months ahead.
Play then relax.
The George Tasmania sits 25 minutes from Barnbougle Golf Links — close enough for early tee times, far enough to feel like a proper luxury escape. Our sustainable eco pods in George Town give you 270° ocean views, heating, and the kind of space that makes golf trips actually relaxing.
Whether Barnbougle's on-course accommodation is fully booked or you simply want more than a functional place to crash between rounds, we've got you sorted. This is accommodation near Barnbougle that doubles as a destination — mountain bike trails at the door, penguin tours down the road, and yarns that don't revolve entirely around golf (though we won't stop you).
Why The George Works For Barnbougle Golfers
The Location Sweet Spot
Twenty-five minutes might sound like a drive, but it's the Goldilocks zone for Barnbougle accommodation. You're close enough to make early tee times without drama, but far enough to escape into proper luxury digs with space to breathe. George Town sits on the Tamar River mouth with sweeping ocean views — a world away from the functional on-course bunkers (we're talking accommodation, not sand traps).
When Barnbougle Accommodation Is Fully Booked
Let's be real: securing accommodation at Barnbougle during summer or tournament season is like trying to get Masters tickets. The Dunes Cottages, Ocean Villas, and Lost Farm Lodge fill up fast — sometimes months in advance. The George gives you a legitimate Plan A (not a compromise Plan B) with luxury eco pods that might actually be nicer than squeezing into a basic golf cottage with three mates who snore.
Eco-Luxury That Doesn't Lecture You
Our pods are built with sustainability baked in — think solar power, locally sourced materials, and a gentle footprint on the land. But we skip the eco-guilt trip. You get underfloor heating, proper coffee, rain showers, and those 270° views without feeling like you're roughing it for the planet. It's luxury that just happens to be kind to Tasmania's pristine environment.
Booking Your Barnbougle Golf Trip
When To Book
Barnbougle's peak season runs November through March — book as early as possible for summer tee times and accommodation. If you're flexible, April-May and September-October offer quieter courses, milder weather, and easier booking (though you'll need an extra layer or three).
Group Bookings
Got a crew coming for a golf trip? Our pods sleep up to four guests each, perfect for foursomes who want their own space but still want to gather around the fire pit for post-round beers and questionable swing analysis.
Package Deals & Tee Times
Book your tee times directly through Barnbougle's website, then lock in your accommodation at The George. We can't bundle golf packages (we're accommodation, not a course), but we can make the stay part ridiculously easy and comfortable.
Why The George Tasmania Is Your Barnbougle Base Camp
Luxury eco accommodation: Sustainable pods with underfloor heating, rain showers, and 270° ocean views that'll make you forget you're here for the golf.
25 minutes to Barnbougle: Close enough for early tee times, far enough to feel like a proper getaway.
Availability when Barnbougle is booked: When the on-course accommodation is full (spoiler: it often is), we've got luxury pods ready to go.
Activities beyond golf: Mountain bike trails at your door, penguin tours at Low Head, Tamar Valley wineries — there's life beyond the 19th hole.
Café & bar: Local post-round beers, Tasmanian wines, and the perfect spot to relive that eagle putt (or that triple bogey, we won't judge).
For The Non-Golfers (Or Rest Days)
If you're travelling with someone who'd rather walk into the ocean than play 18 holes, George Town has you covered. We're talking mountain bike trails (100km worth, literally at our doorstep), Low Head penguin tours, Tamar Valley wineries, and enough coastal walks to justify multiple cafe stops.
The George isn't just accommodation near Barnbougle golf — it's a proper destination where the golf trip becomes a Tasmania trip, and everyone comes home happy. Check out our Things To Do page for the full rundown.
