Saffire Freycinet

At the gates of Freycinet National Park, on Tasmania's east coast, Saffire Freycinet is a superb ecolodge designed in 2010 by the talented architect Robert Morris Nunn. The lodge's design evokes a deep connection with the sea and the landscapes of Great Oyster Bay, through a structure reminiscent of a manta ray or the movement of waves. The lines of the main building frame the Hazards mountain range, while the lodge's 20 suites, moored like small boats, reach out towards the coast. The interior decoration blends classic furniture with more contemporary pieces; wood, stone and leather; creating a peaceful and eclectic atmosphere. Each of the suites offers breathtaking views of Great Oyster Bay and the mountains, whilst guaranteeing precious privacy. The very spacious «pavilions» also house a small private pool for cooling off after a day spent exploring the region. Among the flurry of experiences on offer to guests, you can delve into beekeeping, get close to the famous Tasmanian Devil, or taste oysters while half-submerged in the water. In Freycinet National Park, pink granite peaks sit alongside pristine beaches and promise superb walks. Back at the lodge, dinner is enjoyed at the Palate Restaurant through local seasonal gastronomy, enhanced by the region's award-winning wines. As for the spa, nestled in the undulations of Saffire Freycinet, it will enhance your stay with a bubble of relaxation and rejuvenation.
