Freycinet Lodge
Freycinet National Park, Tasmania, Australia
At a Glance
Freycinet Lodge boasts an enviable location in between Richardson’s Beach and the attractive rocky inlet of Honeymoon Bay, so you’re perfectly situated for rugged beach breaks and coastal walks.
Inspired seasonal dishes are on the menu at The Bay Restaurant, which are always best paired with a cold glass of sparkling Tasmanian wine.
There’s a wide variety of well-appointed accommodation options at Freycinet Lodge, but one of your favorites is the Bay View Coastal Pavilion which offers spectacular views through the trees to the shoreline, and some with panoramas of Great Oyster Bay.
After a busy day of hiking, biking and boating through the Freycinet National Park, an in-room massage is a wonderful way to relax and unwind.
On cooler evenings, you’ll want to be sat by the fireplace in the Hazards Bar & Lounge where locally distilled single malt whiskies are always on the drinks menu.

Insider's View
If you are feeling fit, book the Freycinet Paddle, a fantastic sea kayaking trip around Coles Bay. I saw dolphins, sea eagles and the water was so clear it felt like I was floating on glass.

Description
A wonderful wilderness lodge set in one of the most breathtakingly beautiful locations within the Freycinet National Park home to the breathtaking Wineglass Bay

Amy Welfare (Staff)
Freycinet Lodge was once the place to stay here on the peninsula. However, the new Saffire Lodge has taken this over, but is also in a completely different price league. So Freycinet Lodge will still be the best option for a lot of travelers. Quite a resorty feel, the main lodge houses the restaurant(very good seafood) looking out over Coles Bay. In general not the sort of place you lounge around your room, although they are very comfortable, as you will be out and about either paddling Kayaks on Coles Bay, taking the walk up to the viewpoint for Wineglass Bay, or out on a cruise for the day.
