Saffire Freycinet

Half-hidden in coastal bushland on Tasmania’s east coast, Saffire Freycinet rises low and sleek from former national parkland, its stingray-shaped roof gleaming above the bush. Twenty timber-lined and perfectly placed suites angle toward the slopes of the Hazards mountains. Interiors use local oak and celery-top pine; outside, there are guided walks and expansive spaces. Originally part of a protected national park, the site was reimagined as a low-impact luxury lodge. Saffire is proof that isolation, when well-designed, can feel like the ultimate indulgence.
