About the Resort
A coastal sanctuary at Freycinet
Saffire Freycinet curves above Great Oyster Bay at the gateway to Freycinet National Park, twenty suites of Tasmanian timber facing the Hazards mountains. It's all-inclusive, and the signature experiences are the heart of it: donning waders to eat oysters at a table set in the bay, meeting Tasmanian devils at Saffire's own conservation habitat, walking to the Wineglass Bay lookout and cruising to Schouten Island. Palate, the guests-only restaurant, draws on the island's produce.

“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Saffire Freycinet. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”
