Local Dining
Island Flavours at Your Own Pace
Whether you’re staying in Currie, Grassy, or Naracoopa, you’ll find a handful of welcoming restaurants and cafés serving fresh, locally sourced produce—think grass-fed beef, King Island cheese, and seafood straight from the boat.
Our local hospitality scene is small but full of heart. And just like our visitors, our chefs, baristas, and waitstaff enjoy the laid-back island lifestyle—so opening hours can vary a little. We recommend checking ahead or asking us for up-to-date tips on where to eat.
The good news? All these dining spots are just a short drive from your accommodation, giving you plenty of flexible options. So take your time, explore, and enjoy every bite. After all, you’re on island time now.
Fishing and charters
Anyone can catch a fish here. Squid, sweep, salmon and gummy are all on the menu, with snapper and other choice fish available if you’re keen. Your island accommodation is surrounded with pristine beaches and access through private land is fine if you leave the gates as you find them. The Wharfs at Currie, Grassy and at the famous Naracoopa Jetty, will always yield fish and have a chat to Terry at Terry Perry’s store in Currie to get the latest tips and stock up your fishing equipment and baits.
If you are looking for a charter, then consider Proline Charters. They service King Island when the fish are about, so visit their site or call.

Helpful and friendly service from the minute I made an enquiry - couldn't have asked for more. My two-year-old was sorry to have to say goodbye to 'nice Julie'. We'll be back!"
