Saffire Freycinet

Located in an isolated pocket of Tasmania’s rugged east coast, Saffire Freycinet is a stunning work of architecture by Robert Morris Nunn. The main building is designed to resemble a stingray, with 20 individual villas dotted throughout the coastal greenery, arranged to look like boats along the shoreline. 

Inside are wood-heavy interiors crafted with local lumber including celery topped pine and Tasmanian oak. Each villa is thoughtfully positioned to ensure sweeping views across Great Oyster Bay and the Hazards mountain range.

Accommodation aside, Saffire Freycinet has been a bucket-list dining destination for serious food-lovers since it opened in 2010. The ever-evolving menu showcases the best of Tasmanian produce from abalone and scallops to salt-grass lamb, which has a distinct taste thanks to the salty, coastal pastures on which it feeds. A stay here also includes bottomless pours from the impressive wine cellar. Cheers!
