Blending sophistication with inspiration and modernity with Mother Nature, guests can envelop themselves in luxury and soak up some of the most authentic experiences that this part of Australia has to offer.
Here, succulent seafood is plucked dripping from the water each day, and talented therapists customize your own individual spa treatments.

Undoubtedly unique, a stay at Saffire Freycinet always has something special in store.
Half-way along Tasmania’s East Coast, Saffire Freycinet is most easily accessed via the cities of Hobart and Launceston. Both are a 60-minute flight from Melbourne or a 105-minute flight from Sydney, though daily flights are available from most other major Australian cities as well. Once you’ve arrived in either Hobart or Launceston, it’s just a 2.5 or 2-hour drive to Saffire, respectively, and chauffeured limousine service is available through the hotel.
Because Tasmania is an island, you can also set sail to Saffire from mainland Australia and do the drive yourself. Spirit of Tasmania sails daily between Melbourne and Devonport, making it easy for you to take your own car along for the drive.
Holding a multitude of hospitality awards in Australia and internationally including the AHA Award for Best Overall Hotel, Saffire Freycinet is so much more than just good looks. With a total of 20 rooms, guests have the option of staying in a luxury suite, signature suite or private pavilion and enjoying design features like floor-to-ceiling windows, private outdoor decks and double showers throughout. Of course, plenty of complimentary experiences are also available through the hotel.
Dining at Saffire Freycinet is a particularly exceptional experience, with Tasmania holding a reputation for premium aquaculture and agriculture.
