Full accommodation information

Blissfully isolated amidst the coastal forests of Tasmania, overlooking Muirs Beach and Great Oyster Bay, award-winning Saffire Freycinet sits as a cutting-edge haven of tranquillity in one of the region's most beautiful settings, where you can warmly embrace every outdoor adventure. 

With space-age architecture of glass walls and a sweeping curved roof, this retreat has been intentionally designed to ensure the stunning scenery can be seen at all times, and from every angle – almost following the very angles of the Hazard Mountain range on the horizon. Such sophisticated architecture continues within; not a contemporary artwork, piece of furniture or colour choice is by accident, it’s all by design.

Far from being a cold design space, however, Saffire Freycinet is a warm and brilliantly run hotel. Countless excursions are included in every stay, while the fine dining cuisine is locally sourced and service is effortlessly welcoming. This all leaves you with a tangible sense of being connected to the beautifully wild landscape, whether you explore by kayaking, hiking, biking, boating or wildlife walks.

And relaxation comes all too easy while staying at Saffire Freycinet, whether enjoying the views from your suite or private plunge pool, the terrace or restaurant. Furthermore, spa treatments are heavenly here and when you’re not simply indulging in your surrounds, the catalogue of explorations, activities and excursions is bewildering; the best of Tasmania and its wonderful wildlife is always at your fingertips.

The most striking features throughout all accommodation options at Saffire Freycinet are the walls of glass, high ceilings and stunning peninsula views. The décor and design are contemporary and minimalist with open and airy spaces. Luxe Egyptian cotton sheets, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth speakers, a large flat-screen TV, minibar, lounge area, double shower and separate tub in each immaculate bathroom all also come as standard across sizeable suites that begin at nearly 900sq ft. Coastal views and a private furnished deck are also guaranteed.

Their 1,500sq ft of space includes a kitchen and dining room which the hotel’s chef can use to prepare private meals, a separate lounge area, plenty of outdoor space, a courtyard and plunge pool, espresso machine and large bathroom, as well as every other complimentary extra and mod-con that you’ll find across all suite categories.

Saffire Freycinet is very well equipped, with many of the on site extras revolving around wellness, as well as a host of complimentary excursions and activities on offer to provide a more holistic all-round experience. You’ll find yoga mats in every room plus yoga and meditation classes, a gym, hammocks dotted around the grounds, personalised spa programmes, mountain bikes and board games available, on site parking and Wi-Fi throughout, not to mention the hotel’s patios, gardens and terraces from which to enjoy the stunning coastal views here. 

Palate Restaurant

Palate Restaurant

Believe it or not, Saffire Freycinet’s onsite Palate is often cited as one of (if not the most) exclusive fine dining restaurants in Australia, and it’s certainly one of the best. This fact is made all the more special as Palate Restaurant is only open to hotel guests, so you can enjoy the cutting-edge tasting menu, locally sourced delectable dishes and wine-paired meals in real, gleeful comfort. The menu changes almost daily and certainly with the seasons so no two stays at Saffire Freycinet ever offer an identical gastronomic experience in terms of specific dishes, but what you can be sure of are truly world-class cooking and presentation techniques, ethically sourced fresh produce and taste sensations from breakfast through to evening fare. The courteous culinary team here will even take specific food requests, way over and above your usual dietary requirements; all to be savoured in a vaulted hall of floor-to-ceiling windows and beautiful views beyond.

Saffire Freycinet isn't just a luxury retreat—it's a sanctuary where nature and design coexist in harmony. Built on a foundation of environmental sustainability, the resort has transformed a previously degraded site into a thriving coastal haven. Through the planting of over 30,000 native species, they've rejuvenated the land, creating a sanctuary that mirrors the region's natural beauty. The architectural design, inspired by the surrounding landscape, features organic forms and locally sourced materials, ensuring a seamless blend with the environment.

But their commitment extends beyond the resort's boundaries. Saffire Freycinet actively supports local wildlife conservation efforts. Through partnerships with the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program, they're aiding in the fight against the deadly Devil Facial Tumour Disease. You'll have the unique opportunity to witness these iconic creatures up close, contributing to their preservation. Additionally, collaborations with the Raptor Refuge focus on the rehabilitation and protection of Tasmania's endangered birds of prey.
