If all this wasn’t grand enough, there’s also a Metung Country Club in what stands as Australia’s first hot springs golf course. Guests can dine, drink, shop and play golf at the Metung Country Club, then ride a golf cart back to their glamping suite for an evening of relaxation in the hot springs pools, sauna, geothermal showers or just meander around the site, taking in the native flora and fauna on the shores of the Gippsland Lakes.
The original Metung Hot Springs closed in the early ’90s but its mammoth development is a joint project between the Peninsula Hot Springs team and East Gippsland tourism operators Rachel and Adrian Bromage.
