Saffire Freycinet

We recently spent a wonderful 3 nights at Saffire Freycinet. From the moment we entered we were overwhelmed by the natural beauty of the Hazard Mountains, sublime location, 6 star service and amazing culinary delights with the wine to match. The signature experiences were incredibly special with the oyster farm being a real "pinch me" moment. Staff are absolutely incredible and go out of their way serve, we loved the lounge atmosphere and warming fireplaces - all adding to our luxury winter getaway. Saffire takes the luxury experience to a whole different level. We will definitely being back, what a special place!

The spa at Saffire is a must do. The package encompassing the salt scrub and the full body massage is a treat for your skin and well-being. My wife and I both experienced the luxury of the spa. Lou Lou was was very knowledgable and skilled in my 2 hour plus treatment. We are looking forward already to our return stay at Saffire.

Where to start with a place where every aspect deserves a superlative? The place itself is so thoughtfully and beautifully done...my husband adored the fireplace, I covet the ceilings but every tiny aspect was done with taste and thought. And how about drinking in the endless views? But what sets Saffire Freycinet apart are the people: Patrick the GM, Corinne and Philippe heading the terrific food service staff, Fraser our fab guide to the Devils and up to Wineglass Bay, and everyone else, Sarah, Niccolo and others too. They turned this experience from mere luxury to true hospitality. Thanks to all for a fabulous visit

Spectacular place. The food, the rooms, the service, the activities, the view were all wonderful. From the moment you arrive you are cocooned in luxury and feel very well taken care of. They really do go above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay.

We spent 4 nights at Saffire recently. This would have been our 7th or 8th trip since 2011 and I am pleased to report that everything is still amazing. From the arrival to the suites, and the food & wine offering to the lovely staff, everything is still top notch. The Marine Farm experience is just as magical as the first time around, and is a must-do activity for any guest. I will not wax lyrical this time around as I have reviewed Saffire before, but kudos to Patrick and his team for consistently holding such high standards. The best compliment I can pay them is by sending everyone I know here, and we've sent quite a few over the years!

Just spent 3 days at Saffire. Setting, food, beverage, experiences included and service top shelf. Admittedly it comes at a cost but for a special occasion to make one feel special then check out this lodge. We did wine and whiskey tastings plus the bee keeping and oyster farm where you are eating from and on the sea...magical. The staff faultless, passionate, knowledgeable and do unexpected little touches eg. running a bubble bath on my wife's birthday evening with a chilled sparkling wine to hand.

Fantastic. If only everyone could be fortunate enough to stay at Saffire. It is an incredible resort with wonderful staff and facilities in an amazing location. Nothing was too difficult for staff. They genuinely wanted guests to have an exceptional experience.

We have just returned from our sixth visit to Saffire, and as always, you feel like family returning home. Once you arrive, one of the staff will greet you at the entrance, and they will look after your car and luggage. Once inside, you are treated to a breathtaking view of Coles Bay and a glass of bubbly. This place is just incredible. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, the food is exquisite, the wine list extensive, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. They are situated so that once you're in there, you feel like you are alone in the world, with only the unobstructed view of the bay to keep you company. They offer many different experiences while you are there. The highlight for us was the Wineglass Bay Water Experience. Yes, Saffire has its own boat. Matt, the skipper, and Paul, the guide, will take you back in time to discover the history of the Freycinet Peninsula as you take in the breathtaking scenery and wildlife that surrounds you, from dolphins and seals to graceful sea eagles. Of course, you can also happily sit on the couch and look at the bay, watching the clouds and fog roll in over The Hazards mountains while sampling the impressive minibar. Undoubtedly, the staff at Saffire are the true stars. Their exceptional service, going above and beyond, ensures a stay that's not just comfortable, but also personalised to make you feel like the most important people in the world. Special mention goes to the Management Team, led by the General Manager, Patrick Barrie, and ably assisted by the Assistant General Manager, Michael Elmes. We also must mention Will, the Food and Beverage Manager, whose infectious personality adds a sparkle to the dining experience. Definitely the best luxury lodge in Australia

The experience at Saffire is second to none. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, you feel welcomed and valued by all the staff you come across. Whilst it may come at an indulgent price tag, there is immense value in the included 5 star dining experiences at every meal (beginning with lunch before our room was even available before check in), beverages, in room dining and mini bar, and the absolutely fantastic signature experiences/tours which are of the highest quality and all included. We chose the oyster tour on a previous stay, and the bee keeping experience and connection to country tour this time. All of these were fantastic experiences with entertaining and informative guides. I’d recommend you plan not to leave during your stay. Make the most of the experiences, first-class dining on offer and relax in the beautiful suites, and if you want to explore this beautiful area, hike, etc. do it when you are staying somewhere else that you’d be more willing to leave. You’ll feel like royalty here and the price-tag will be long forgotten.
