Positioned in the heart of Tasmania's second largest city, the Sebel Launceston is close to all the major attractions and the bustling seaport area of Launceston.
Separated from mainland Australia by the 240 km stretch of Bass Strait, Tasmania (or 'Tassie' as known by the locals) is an island where the impeneterable wilderness surrounds fascinating historical and picturesque towns.

As a holiday destination, it is hard to find another place that offers so much variety in its scenery, cuisine and attractions, as this unique island. From granite mountains to secluded bays, from bustling markets to heritage trails you are invited to go on a journey of discovery and wonder.
The Langham, Melbourne reflects the essence of cultural life in Melbourne.

There are so many things to see in and around Melbourne. It hosts a number of historic buildings displaying all types of influences and styles, making it a diverse and interesting place to visit.

Visit the impressive Crown Casino, Clarendon Street, which is the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. Here you'll find not only gambling, but also bars, cafes and restaurants. When passing the Casino you may also be fortunate enough to watch one of the fire displays from the large statues that mark the entrance of the Casino.

The hotel offers charming, boutique style accommodation and geusts can take advantage of fully self contained suites, restaurant and wine bar, guest lounge with open fire and a private courtyard framed by Oak trees.

The rest of day is free to do sightseeing around Launceston. We recommend visiting the James Boag Brewery. Discover the traditions that have been handed down from generation to generation of brewing some of the finest quality beers with premium ingredients.

Day 2
Tee off at Barnbougle Dunes Golf Links after breakfast for your first round at this magnificent course. Pull buggy included

The breathtaking landscape, upon which the course has been created, mirrors the wild coastal links courses of Scotland and Ireland.

The outward nine at Barnbougle plays through a series of saddles that both shelter and direct play lines. The back nine is more open but arguably more striking with multiple panoramas of the course, adjoining bay and the town of Bridport.
 
Enjoy a nice lunch in the Clubhouse before another testing round at Barnbougle.

Day 3
Meet up with your viticulture guide for a full day privately guided wine tasting tour of the Tamar Valley.

Visit seven of Australia's best cool climate vineyards including world renowned Pipers Brook and Jansz Wines. Discover an array of award winning cool climate wines ranging from Sparkling wines through to Riesling, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.

Enjoy the diversity of the Tamar Valley wineries ranging from the family run producers to state of the art wineries and cellar doors. Each vineyard and cellar door has its own special charm and character to experience and explore.

Day 4
Check out and return your vehicle to the airport. Catch an early morning flight to Melbourne. Upon arrival, collect your vehicle and drive to the Royal Melbourne Golf Club for a round of golf.

Check in at the Langham Hotel Melbourne, situated on the south bank of the Yarra River, after golf.

Langham Hotel affords five star service and quality in a great location. With 387 beautifully appointed rooms and suites, Langham Hotel offers every facility the discerning traveller could want, also including all day dining with Melba Brasserie, Tisane Lounge and a state of the art Health and Fitness Centre

Day 5
Head for the fairways of the The Metroplitan Golf Club after breakfast.

Metropolitan enjoys a reputation as one of the best conditioned and most beautiful courses in the Australia. Pure Couch grass fairways with large, fast Bent-grass greens that are hand-mown to the edges of the greenside bunkers add greatly to the challenge of the course.

After golf we recommend a great walking tour through Melbourne town that will sweep you into laneways filled with libraries, art galleries, parks, shops and theatres.

Day 6
Tee off at Kingston Heath Golf Club after breakfast.

Built on only 125 hectares, it's a perfectly manicured course. The bunkering and clever use of dips and hollows visually fools the non observant golfer.

It is a course with multiple layers of complexity and its wonder is that the more one plays it, the greater your appreciation for its sophistication becomes.

Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the vibrant waterfront atmosphere from Federation Square to Southbank Boulevard and then on to the world famous Crown Casino where you can enjoy dinner at one of the numerous restaurants.

Day 7
Meet up with your viticulture guide for a full day privately guided wine tasting tour of the Yarra Valley Wine Region.

Yering Station, Yering Farm and Rochford's provide a cellar door tasting on a range of their wines. A private walk-through tour of Domaine Chandon's winery shows you the magic of creating a great glass of bubbly and Rochford Wines offer a cellar door tasting before lunch which helps you to decide what will go nicely with your food.

Domaine Chandon supplies a glass of premium sparkling or still wine with light tasting platters after a guided tour of the winery.
