Saffire Freycinet

We are seasoned travelers, and I have no hesitating in saying that the Saffire Freycinet is easily one of the best hotels in the world . It is not cheap, but but the caliber of service, food and drink, and excursions on offer to guests, fully justifies the expense. The rooms are spacious, gorgeously sited, and well stocked with every incidental and small luxury. The food and wine on offer were both world class. The young, international staff knew our names within minutes and and treated us like long-absent family members. The excursions offered to guests, most of which were included, were each in its own way unique--eating fresh oysters standing in the bay in waders, accompanying a beekeeper and sampling his fresh honey, watching Tasmanian devils devour a wallaby, accompanying an Aboriginal scholar on a nature walk, viewing Wineglass bay from high atop a mountain--these were experiences to cherish. We did not travel to Tasmania just to stay at Saffire, but having done so I would have no hesitating recommending that people travel to Tasmania for just that purpose.

A unique place with amazing views, friendly and proactive staff, and lovely rooms. Only 20 suites and all with amazing views - we stayed in a signature suite and enjoyed the extra space and magnificent views from our full height windows. We also really enjoyed the included experiences which included Paul taking us to the oyster farm👍, Glenn showing us around his lovely vineyard #craigieknowe, and Tom showing us the magnificently positioned #waubharbour distillery. Thanks to the staff for making it such a warm and welcoming place and Oliver for the tailored whisky tasting An unforgettable place!

Saffire Freycinet is simply the best of the best resorts in Australia. In Tasmania where there is so much to do, the Freycinet peninsula affords one the chance for great hikes, and kayaking experiences provided by the resort. Then there is the exceptional included meals unlimited drinks, hospitality they can’t be beat, and a general manager who runs this place with his team to perfection. We had only one complaint; that we had to leave Tasmania and this fabulous place.

From the moment you drive in, you are well looked after. You are greeted in the car park and ushered into the magnificent view of the bay and the Hazard Mountains. While your luggage is taken to your room, you are offered a drink and your program of experiences is explained, reviewed and modified according to your wants. The room was very large, with a veranda, large sitting area, desk, kitchenette, and a huge bathroom. The fridge was full of lovely wines. All rooms enjoy the great view of the spectacular Hazards. The meals are a delight to explore, accompanied by excellent wines, mainly from Tasmania. All wine, cocktails, beers, whiskies are included (unless you really want to go beyond next level). The staff are all very attentive, helpful and friendly. There are a range of included experiences but need to remark on the walk to Wineglass Bay lookout and the oyster experience - imagine having a tour of an oyster farm, and then wading amongst the oysters to a table in the middle of the water to enjoy champagne and freshly chucked oysters right out of the water!! It is not cheap, but Saffire does its best to deliver full value to a luxury experience at the pinnacle of the hospitality business.

Excellent luxury experience! Rooms were incredible and a highlight. Super comfortable, large bathroom with storage areas. All the details you would expect at a luxury resort (stocked drinks/snacks/housekeeping) We greatly enjoyed walking to the beach (5-10 minutes). Activities were great, we did the boat tour, I was a little nervous as we had our toddler, but it was a super comfortable boat with plenty of space and very safe. Food was incredible, great a la carte options, lunch was slightly more casual, but still very delicious, and I kind of liked this as it felt more relaxed and friendly. Fixed tasting menu also available at dinner if desired. The Hospitality of the staff was top-notch, everyone seemed genuinely excited you were there and made every effort to help with any needs or requests. This is the epitome of luxury hospitality, genuinely good attitude from all staff and efforts to anticipate needs. Never did the staff seem too rushed or busy to help us. I wish I could put the names of the wonderful staff members who helped us, but I don't remember them all. Promote! View is beautiful. Resident devils were fun to go visit/watch. Only suggestion would be an additional functioning high chair as there were 2 available and 2 toddlers, one didn't have a tray, which we were given so we couldn't really use it making meals a bit more hectic. Not really a kid-centric place (this is obvious based on the price), but small families with 1-2 kids would be fine. We loved exposing our kid to the beauty of the views, nature, beach, and just playing in our room. All the staff seemed to like seeing our kid and were so friendly to her. Thanks for a great stay.
