Saffire Freycinet

If you read no further, just finish this sentence: I've traveled the world over and Saffire Freycinet now tops the list of favorite destinations for the following myriad reasons. The three most important aspects regarding real estate: Location, Location, Location. Okay, well, at Saffire, add this: accommodations, accommodations, accommodations; dining, dining, dining; hospitality, hospitality, hospitality! My "mate" and I enjoyed a superlative time at Saffire from the moment we walked into one of the most breathtaking vistas I've ever seen in a hotel/lodge. It’s such a shame we didn’t plan at least 4, although honestly, we could have spent a month here. It was so magnificent, calm and serene and the unlimited food (everything included in the price) was divine. But what really made this location shine were the people who worked here. Across the board, we were made to feel like we were visiting friends, not bunking at a hotel. I am so, so happy that my Aussie friends from “Melbin” suggested going here. We spent two nights (way too short of a stay) and did adventures like donning a bee-keepers uniform and holding honeycomb from a 40,000 beehive, as well as taking a 12-mile hike into unspoiled landscapes and pristine beaches where we were the only one's swimming and frolicking on the beach. We met adorable Barney the Tassie Devil (and "adopted" him to help save the Tasmanian Devils who are on the verge of extinction due to a rare face cancer), saw wallabies in the wild and feasted our eyes on nature at its best. Our accommodations were just perfect. They are all in a line, all with views, and nothing in front of you to block the view. Floor to ceiling windows afforded a morning awakening like no other. We opted for the plunge pool, which is really a big bathtub, but well worth the extra dollars for relaxing under the southern hemisphere stars. The products in the room were heavenly, and we had a full kitchen stocked with everything we could possibly want and more. We don't drink, but if you do, this is paradise as everything is included and they stock expensive brands of everything from champagne to wine to hard liquor. We wanted ice cream, and they added it to our freezer, they gave us gifts and took care of absolutely everything. I'm sitting in my home in Los Angeles writing this and wondering how quickly I can get back to Saffire, a magical, enchanting and magnificent paradise on earth.

Saffire is a wonderful hotel located in a stunningly beautiful place. Everything about it is perfect, from the first seconds as the doors swing open into the stunning foyer to the the final seconds as you drive away, it is a magical experience. The rooms are beautiful, the food and drink is great and the complimentary experiences so enjoyable. Best of all the staff - so friendly and relaxed yet thoroughly professional and helpful. For us this was a very special treat and we would recommend it to anyone. It is pricey but I feel we got maximum value from our money and would return in a heartbeat. Well done Saffire team, we had the most wonderful time

Saffire is one of the best resorts I have ever visited. The setting is absolutely breathtaking and allows you to immerse in the natural beauty of Freycinet. There has been so much attention put into the design of the rooms making them very enjoyable to inhabit and watch the drama unfold out of the huge windows. Then there is the food - absolutely outstanding. The quality and diversity of locally sourced ingredients matched with incredible creativity result in a highly satiable and enjoyable culinary experience. Service in all parts of the resort is immaculate and you really do feel the centre of attention and very well looked after. I cannot recommend highly enough and would love to return soon :)

Perfect in every way. The rooms are stunning. The views are breathtaking. The service is perfect. The experiences are fun and unique. We had very high expectations, and Saffire exceeded them at every turn. We live 30+ flying hours away from Saffire but will go back without question. It was that good.

Incredible stay at Saffire. Cannot fault it. Staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable and service was perfect. Meals delicious. Our room had a spectacular view of the Hazards. Very comfortable and luxurious rooms with all the mod cons. Great fun activities offered. We especially enjoyed the Oyster farm visit with waders walking into the sea to collect and eat our own oysters. Also loved the guidied hikes around he national park and the bee keeping morning was really fun and educational. Would highly recommend Saffire.

What struck me most was the perfect balance between professional service and genuine warmth. The staff managed to be attentive without hovering, and helpful without being overbearing. The entire property exudes a peaceful energy that made me feel instantly at home. The thoughtful amenities and spotless maintenance of every corner
