The 20-suite hotel hovers over the waterfront, situated on a slope that leads to a private beach. Guests enter the operatic three-story main building on the highest floor, which has a ceiling of Tasmanian celery top pine; the second floor has another lounge with a full-service bar, as well as the restaurant Palate. And the bottom floor’s art gallery exits onto a walkway that leads to the semi-detached suites. The landscape design recreates the pre-construction topography and the lighting design is consciously subtle, minimizing light pollution for neighbors across Coles Bay.
Suites have a residential feel, if you happen to live in a place with floor-to-ceiling windows, a sloped roof, electronically-controlled everything, an enormous bathroom, a private courtyard and a separate waterfront patio. The palette is deliberately neutral — nothing to distract from the room’s best feature: the view. When you manage to make it out of your cocoon, there’s plenty to do, including a day excursion by private boat to the prehistoric rock formations of Schouten Island MLB Jerseys, a nocturnal wildlife walk, a visit to the local oyster and mussel farm (with plenty of raw oyster and Champagne consumption), and an energetic hike ending on a peak overlooking Wineglass Bay. Those who prefer to appreciate nature from indoors can sample Palate’s rotating roster of locally sourced dishes like pan-roasted blue eye trevalla with shaved cuttlefish, and savarin of sugar-cured ocean trout and avocado. The spa program is also site-specific; there’s a hot-stone massage using the granite from the Hazards mountain range visible across the bay.

Getting to Saffire is the only difficult part: for most people, it involves a full day’s journey to Hobart and then another two and a half hours by car to Freycinet. But if you have frequent-flyer miles and time to spare, then it’s worth the effort to feel this far away from it all. And should you get the perverse urge to check in with your regular life, Saffire has a fully equipped MLB Jerseys, high-tech conference room. Even at the far end of the earth, you’re still plugged in.
With its otherworldly beauty and back-of-beyond remoteness, the Australian island of Tasmania has enjoyed its status at the vanguard of far-flung travel for many years now. That adventurers who make the journey had to be content with a cozy cabin only added to the mystique. So the June opening of Saffire Freycinet, on the eastern end of the island’s Freycinet peninsula, puts a certain wrinkle in the place’s rustic authenticity. But in a good way. Though the property is packed full of features, like hydraulic flat-screen TVs and radiant-heated marble floors, that have come to signify modern luxury MLB Jerseys, Freycinet’s design complements the surrounding landscape and respects the island’s natural resources.
