Off Australia’s South Coast you’ll find the rugged and beautiful island of
Tasmania — a unique destination where you can see Tasmanian devils, walk
in the wilderness, take in stunning eco-cruises, taste artisanal cheeses and
even explore a controversial art museum. The best way to see it? Take the
back roads, but allow plenty of time: A short drive in any direction can lead to
wineries, distilleries, marine farms, convict settlements, pristine beaches,
fields of lavender and national parks…

Our cottages are tastefully themed in old world charm... from England to Ireland to Scotland to Wales... from the glamorous world of French Boudoir to the mythical world of Camelot. We provide cosy and luxurious stays... with lovely wood fired ambiance for the evenings... and a hearty breakfast basket for the mornings.
Loved our stay. I think this place has the most info I've ever seen. Any questions you might have are all covered in the information brochure. The breakfast basket was amazing and so plentiful and the free washer and dryer just a welcome bonus. It's old creaky and quirky and we loved it.

I am writing this review after giving management a chance to answer some of my queries. I wrote to them on the 2nd May and as yet have not had any communication from them. We were very disappointed in our accommodation. Our unit was very "tired" and it is the little things that are noticed. The clock on the wall did not work, two plates on the stove did not work, the only container for the microwave did not fit in the microwave. We also felt that we were in backpackers accommodation as kitchen utensils were a mismatch of things. Very easy to buy matching sets these days. Whilst the unit was clean the level of build up of the "disinfectant" spray was disconcerting. This was very evident when we went to move the coffee table and it took two of us to "unstick" if from the floor, very obviously not been moved for some time but plenty of spray used. As we were on a balcony unit it would also have been very easy to clean the windows which were filthy. I am afraid to say I would not recommend the tower units to anyone.

This property is the base camp for guests of The Bruny Island Long Weekend. Well secluded, on a private 100 acres, this little haven represents the perfect place to retreat. Although the camp has been built completely 'off the grid', we are not without our creature comforts. Each tent contains a king-size bed with quality linen and the highlight, for many guests, is our hot outdoor shower, tucked away on one of the most beautiful parts of the property.
Louie and Jonte were a wealth of information on our guided walk. We had Incredible scenery, terrific food and patient guides that were tolerant, articulate and energetic. Our group couldn’t have wished for more. We heard that the homemade Louie Mayonnaise was world class and never let Bruce near the feature wall. Thank you and see you again. Mary

This is the original and award-winning Freycinet Experience Walk – a four-day guided adventure covering the entire length of the Freycinet Peninsula on Tasmania’s sublimely beautiful East Coast, including the iconic Wineglass Bay. Walk beaches of powder white sand. Hike spectacular pink granite mountains carrying only a small day-pack. Explore the region by boat, go fishing, snorkeling, and travel to uninhabited Schouten Island. Discover forests of towering white gums where you and your walking companions, a maximum of 10, feel like the only souls on Earth. Then return each evening to the award-winning Friendly Beaches Lodge, nestled in its own secluded sanctuary, where delicious, candle-lit meals, steaming hot showers, deep baths, and comfortable beds await. This is an all inclusive tour: return transfers from Hobart, three nights accommodation at Friendly Beaches Lodge, exclusive to your walking group, superb, locally sourced, meals made lovingly by our lodge hosts and award-winning Tasmanian wines and spirits.
From the moment I stepped foot on that white sand and glimpsed that turquoise water I knew I was in for something special. To be able to walk alone with guides in pristine wilderness is very special. In the four days we spent on the Freycinet Peninsular we managed to explore many of the beaches, peaks, nooks and crannies while learning about its extraordinary history and culture. The guides are so generous with their knowledge and passionate about nature and ensuring their guests enjoy their day safely. Once back at the lodge we indulged in home made meals and became familiar with the local wines and spirits (whiskey and gin). It was lovely to be "off the grid" and enjoy the quietness that comes with being remote.

Saffire Freycinet was above and beyond our expectations. Ourselves being a multiple GOLD medal winning accommodation and former NSW Tourism judge I believe that I am able to give an unbiased and subjective review. The facilities, accommodation, service, wine, a-la-carte menus' and tour guides were absolutely exceptional. They could not have done more to ensure our stay would become a lasting memory. And a special big thank you to Melissa B. Sincerely, Ken and June B.
