All-inclusive Saffire Freycinet
A no expense spared heavenly retreat, look no further! This all inclusive lodge is Tasmania’s only lodge that is a part of the Australian luxury lodges collection. It is also the only hotel on the island that offers the entire sensory package. It is quietly tucked away in Coles Bay, with uninterrupted view of the famed Hazards, an iconic mountain range in Freycinet National Park. With floor to ceiling glass, purpose designed to enjoy the magical view from wherever you are in the hotel. The aim is to connect the Saffire Freycinet and its guests to the surrounding environment. Here you can stand knee-deep in the estuary, shuck your own oysters and local sparkling wine with the impressive hazards in the background- a once in a lifetime experience. From kayaking, fishing, bee keeping, mixology class, wine tasting, mountain biking and more- the beauty of Saffire Freycinet is that you have the option to enjoy all the endless activities on offer, or none at all.
Luxury Lodges Escape and Cruise
Think Three Capes, two lodges and one great walk! Begin cruising along some of the highest dolerite cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere before spending your days taking it by foot conquering exhilarating clifftops on the Three Capes Track. Kick back and relax in the only private lodge accommodation on the track! The architecturally sustainable designed lodges are purpose-built to sit lightly within the environment with stunning views. Think hot showers, generous lounges, dedicated relaxation treatments, three-course meals and plush pillows.
The Glamping Retreat
For something completely different why not take the only Aboriginal owned and operated guided walk in Tasmania. Not only will you walk the legendary and iconic Bay of Fires and Mt William National Park, you will glamp in style in Aboriginal held land. Stay in luxury architecturally designed palawa inspired dome huts and a Lighthouse Keepers Cottage, an unexpected adventure!
Bay Of Fires Lodge Getaway
Stay connected to nature for one night at the Forester Beach Camp, a tented camp tucked in a protected dune swale on a white sand beach. Be spoilt further with two nights at the award-winning hideaway at Bay of Fires Lodge. Indulge in indigenous inspired spa treatments and be wined and dined with Tasmania’s finest produce. Fill your days trekking the magnificent Bay of Fires on the fringes of Mt. William National Park. Escape to a beach paradise of powdered white sand beaches, turquoise waters strewn with the signature orange lichen-licked boulders. Top it off with a splash out on kayaks, gliding the Anson River.
A Private Oasis
Indulge in the award winning Friendly Beaches Lodge, where you’ll be pampered with steaming hot showers, cozy by the roaring fire, feast on exquisite Tasmanian produce and wine, and sleep blissfully in private warm beds each night. What we adore about this hidden gem is that the lodge is for you and your walking companions exclusively, a maximum of 10, and only one trip is held at a time. Meaning, you could have this entire lodge retreat all to yourselves as well as its secluded beach set just 100 metres away. It will leave you feeling like the only souls on earth! Spend 4 days immersing on a guided discovery of Freycinet Peninsula’s beaches, coastal heathlands and the famed pink granite slopes of Mt Graham.
