Saffire Freycinet

Overview

From Andrew Harper

Superb contemporary 20-room resort nestled in a eucalyptus forest beside Great Oyster Bay. Floor-to-ceiling windows in three-story main lodge grant magnificent views of the pink-hued Hazards mountains across the bay. Handsome, well-equipped suite offers sublime mountain and bay views, appealingly spare décor, comfortable bedroom area and a spacious bath with extra-long soaking tub and separate shower; living/sitting room has desk, plush sofa, Danish Modern chairs and bar stocked with local wines. Excellent food. Amenities include spa and various activities, such as tours and wine tastings, some of which are included in the daily rate.

Spectacular setting; delightful young staff; superb food; handsome rooms; well-organized activities.

Dislike

The absence of an open-air deck or terrace at the main hotel building.

Good To Know

High tree line can limit views from some rooms, so request one with an unencumbered outlook; the spa books up quickly, so make reservations before you arrive.
