THE BEST HOTEL IN FREYCINET NATIONAL PARK

Saffire Freycinet

$$$$ | Coles Bay Rd., Coles Bay, TAS, 7215, Australia

FODOR’S EXPERT REVIEW

Blame it on the jaw-dropping views of Great Oyster Bay and the Hazards Mountains that frame the resort, or the modernist architecture—this far-flung luxe getaway is pure style. This luxury lodge, on Tasmania's remote Freycinet Peninsula, includes ultramodern suites and pavilions (think Eames lounge chairs, Tasmanian hardwood finishes, and black-out shades at the push of a button), a spa with treatments using sapphire and diamond dust, and a to-die-for restaurant with Tasmanian wines and some of the best food on the island. But don't worry, it's definitely not as intimidating as it looks: casual clothes are de rigueur here for most activities, like an oyster-shucking tour where you dine at a white-cloth table in the middle of the bay and spotting local wildlife by boat. Best of all, guests can choose several all-inclusive packages feature gourmet tasting menus, wine tastings, spa services, and your wine-and-goodies-stocked minibar. Rates are steep, but Saffire can't be beat for romance, natural beauty, and sheer get-away-from-it-all decadence.

Pros

  • Ultraluxury service
  • Beautifully designed, modern suites
  • Great excursions

Freycinet Lodge

$$ | Coles Bay Rd., Coles Bay, TAS, 7215, Australia Fodor's Choice

With cabin-style accommodations scattered through the densely wooded forest overlooking Great Oyster Bay, this exceptional eco-lodge—hidden inside the boundaries of Freycinet National Park—has a remote setting that allows for an intimate connection with the surrounding scenic environment. The cabins range from relatively simple one-bedroom units to the luxurious Coastal Pavilion, which has floor-to-ceiling glass walls and a complimentary minibar. All have private balconies and are outfitted with Tasmanian wood furnishings. The on-site Bay Restaurant has breathtaking sunset views, as well as an extensive wine list. The more casual Richardson's Bistro is the place for light lunches and coffee, while Hazards Bar and Lounge is a relaxing place to swap stories or curl up with a book by the open fire.

Pros

  • Superb food in fine-dining restaurant
  • Complimentary breakfast
  • Within the national park

Cons

  • Remote location, which may be a problem for some
  • 10 am checkout
  • All guests must pay for a park pass, available at reception
