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.

Safire Freycinet deserves to be called a truly luxury hotel. Top-flight everything. Beautiful property overlooking a gorgeous beach with easy beach access, lovely rooms with every amenity, stunning public spaces, great food and drink, but best of all, a top staff that is so personal and helpful at every turn. The General Manager Dylan is everywhere, every day making sure everyone’s stay is perfect. The tours around the island are led by veteran naturalists and each is fun too! Run, don’t walk to Tasmania and Safire Freycinet!

This is a true luxury hotel. It's expensive but totally worth it. The rooms are large suites, and all have views of the bay. There are only 20 suites at Freycinet Saffire located at the gateway to Freycinet National Park. The suites comes with outdoor deck with setting, and a private courtyard. It is an all inclusive hotel and you will be pampered. The restaurants feature 20 tables for each suite, and each table is gauranteed a view. Wonderful experience.

We are seasoned travelers, and I have no hesitating in saying that the Saffire Freycinet is easily one of the best hotels in the world . It is not cheap, but but the caliber of service, food and drink, and excursions on offer to guests, fully justifies the expense. The rooms are spacious, gorgeously sited, and well stocked with every incidental and small luxury. The food and wine on offer were both world class. The young, international staff knew our names within minutes and and treated us like long-absent family members. The excursions offered to guests, most of which were included, were each in its own way unique--eating fresh oysters standing in the bay in waders, accompanying a beekeeper and sampling his fresh honey, watching Tasmanian devils devour a wallaby, accompanying an Aboriginal scholar on a nature walk, viewing Wineglass bay from high atop a mountain--these were experiences to cherish. We did not travel to Tasmania just to stay at Saffire, but having done so I would have no hesitating recommending that people travel to Tasmania for just that purpose.
