Saffire Freycinet 

Amid Tasmania’s orange-pink Hazard Mountains and white sandy beaches lies a wonderfully remote coastal sanctuary.

Taking inspiration from the colours of the Freycinet Peninsula, Saffire cleverly blends its unique modern design seamlessly with the natural environment. A member of Luxury Lodges of Australia, it’s intimate and innovative, with stone and timber flanking huge glass windows that showcase the stunning views. There’s also fine dining, premium spa facilities and exemplary service – all within the concept of sustainability.

Dining options emphasise fresh local produce, with seasonal degustation menus, à la carte cuisine and tailor-made service with incredible views from the two-tier restaurant, Palate, while the cool 1950s-inspired Lounge provides a relaxing space to enjoy a cocktail or nightcap. And a whole host of unforgettable experiences are included; from adventure activities such as kayaking and mountain biking to guided walks in the Freycinet Peninsula, wine tasting, and a visit to a working oyster farm – where you’ll be required to don a pair of waders to sample freshly shucked oysters.

The 20 sleek suites are beautifully appointed, with Tasmanian timber furnishings and fittings. All feature an iPod dock, Wi-Fi, floor-to-ceiling windows, double shower and bath, and terrace with fantastic views. If you enjoy taking a dip, opt for one of the Private Pavilions with private plunge pool.
