Saffire Freycinet

Name: Saffire Freycinet
Address: Tasmania

A coastal sanctuary with irresistible views

Experience luxury in the heart of Tasmania's east coast

Designed to embrace its stunning surroundings, Saffire is a luxury lodge in Tasmania, tucked away on undisturbed shores. Located on what was once a caravan park site, a great deal of care has gone into re-planting the site with 30,000 native plants to encourage a return to its natural form. This boutique lodge’s unique stingray-shaped design was carefully crafted to blend into the surrounding environment while creating a modern and ultra-luxe getaway.

Its 20 luxury suites are scattered among the greenery, and boast soul-stirring views across Great Oyster Bay to the Hazards Mountain Range, all from the comfort of absolute luxury. The décor throughout is warm and earthy, highlighted by local lumber, and the premium suites have spacious living areas as well as a kitchen and dining room for private dinners. They also have a private courtyard and plunge pools, perfect for relaxation.

With an emphasis on local fare, Sapphire’s kitchen showcases seasonal, organic produce grown in the local microclimates or kitchen garden, as well as seafood from the surrounding cool, clean ocean. As well as world-class cuisine, the main restaurant, Palate, has tables arranged along the window, so you can complement your top-notch meal with equally impressive views.

This Freycinet National Park lodge also works with the Save the Tasmanian Devil programme, set up in response to the native marsupials facing extinction. In a one-hectare, free-range devil enclosure, Saffire provides mature devils with a safe environment and also gives guests the rare opportunity to see the devils in a natural habitat.

As well as learning about conservation efforts in the region, Saffire guests can indulge in a multitude of complimentary experiences, from visiting a working oyster farm to sample Pacific oysters and regional wines, to guided vineyard tours, canoeing, bird watching or nature walks.

Sal Salis

Step out of your luxury tent to discover the untouched outback and the Ningaloo Reef – just a few metres off shore with colourful coral and an abundance of resident marine life.

Sal Salis is making it possible to discover one of Australia’s best kept natural secrets in an authentic and distinctive way, with 16 wilderness tents nestled in the dunes of the Cape Ranga National Park. Each of the spacious tents sit on wooden platforms and have en suites with a composting toilet and a private viewing deck. The eco-tents are wild camping and lack all the mod cons, however their minimalist style simply adds to their charm.

The star attraction of Sal Salis is undoubtedly its access to the reef. Spend your days in the balmy waters exploring the marine life, including encounters with the world’s largest fish, the whale shark. Sitting right off shore the shallow waters mean even children can easily discover this underwater world. If you’re staying between August to October, you may also have the rare and incredible opportunity to swim with passing Humpback Whales.

Sal Salis is an ecotourism development and is dedicated to protecting its unique surroundings. The camp has been constructed to cause minimal impact on the environment, almost 100% of the power is generated through solar panels and guests are designated 20 litres of water per person daily for washing. There’s no internet connection or WiFi at the camp, offering guests a rare respite from their busy everyday lives and a chance to truly connect with their surroundings.
