The Best Hotels Near Freycinet Lodge, by the Record
-
A giant stone fireplace anchors the main lodge while timber cabins fan out toward a beach so clear a pool would feel like an insult. This wilderness retreat on Tasmania's Freycinet Peninsula sits at the end of a long, deliberate drive, and the lodge leans into that: understated interiors, private terraces aimed at the bay, and tennis courts that most guests ignore in favor of just getting outside.

A stingray-shaped roof gliding low over Tasmanian coastal bushland is your first sign that this is not a standard resort. Saffire Freycinet is a luxury lodge with twenty timber-lined suites angled toward the Hazards mountains, built on what was once protected national park. Local oak and celery-top pine run through the interiors, guided walks run through the bush, and the Michelin Guide awarded it two Keys. Solitude, it turns out, has very good bones.
-
Floor-to-ceiling glass walls face the Tasmanian coast, with a secluded beach at the bottom of the path and wetsuits in the cupboard if the water looks inviting. This is a self-catering modernist retreat, really a private three-bedroom house designed by local architect Craig Rosevear, sitting midway between Hobart and Launceston. The kitchen comes stocked with local provisions, and several good restaurants are a drive away. Selected by the Michelin Guide.
