Safire Freycinet deserves to be called a truly luxury hotel. Top-flight everything. Beautiful property overlooking a gorgeous beach with easy beach access, lovely rooms with every amenity, stunning public spaces, great food and drink, but best of all, a top staff that is so personal and helpful at every turn. The General Manager Dylan is everywhere, every day making sure everyone’s stay is perfect. The tours around the island are led by veteran naturalists and each is fun too! Run, don’t walk to Tasmania and Safire Freycinet!

This is a true luxury hotel. It's expensive but totally worth it. The rooms are large suites, and all have views of the bay. There are only 20 suites at Freycinet Saffire located at the gateway to Freycinet National Park. The suites comes with outdoor deck with setting, and a private courtyard. It is an all inclusive hotel and you will be pampered. The restaurants feature 20 tables for each suite, and each table is gauranteed a view.|Wonderful experience.

Excellent luxury experience! ||Rooms were incredible and a highlight. Super comfortable, large bathroom with storage areas. All the details you would expect at a luxury resort (stocked drinks/snacks/housekeeping) We greatly enjoyed walking to the beach (5-10 minutes). ||Activities were great, we did the boat tour, I was a little nervous as we had our toddler, but it was a super comfortable boat with plenty of space and very safe.||Food was incredible, great a la carte options, lunch was slightly more casual, but still very delicious, and I kind of liked this as it felt more relaxed and friendly. Fixed tasting menu also available at dinner if desired.||The Hospitality of the staff was top-notch, everyone seemed genuinely excited you were there and made every effort to help with any needs or requests. This is the epitome of luxury hospitality, genuinely good attitude from all staff and efforts to anticipate needs. Never did the staff seem too rushed or busy to help us. I wish I could put the names of the wonderful staff members who helped us, but I don't remember them all. Promote! ||View is beautiful.|Resident devils were fun to go visit/watch.||Only suggestion would be an additional functioning high chair as there were 2 available and 2 toddlers, one didn't have a tray, which we were given so we couldn't really use it making meals a bit more hectic.||Not really a kid-centric place (this is obvious based on the price), but small families with 1-2 kids would be fine. We loved exposing our kid to the beauty of the views, nature, beach, and just playing in our room. All the staff seemed to like seeing our kid and were so friendly to her. ||Thanks for a great stay.

We are seasoned travelers, and I have no hesitating in saying that the Saffire Freycinet is easily one of the best hotels in the world . It is not cheap, but but the caliber of service, food and drink, and excursions on offer to guests, fully justifies the expense. The rooms are spacious, gorgeously sited, and well stocked with every incidental and small luxury. The food and wine on offer were both world class. The young, international staff knew our names within minutes and and treated us like long-absent family members. The excursions offered to guests, most of which were included, were each in its own way unique--eating fresh oysters standing in the bay in waders, accompanying a beekeeper and sampling his fresh honey, watching Tasmanian devils devour a wallaby, accompanying an Aboriginal scholar on a nature walk, viewing Wineglass bay from high atop a mountain--these were experiences to cherish. We did not travel to Tasmania just to stay at Saffire, but having done so I would have no hesitating recommending that people travel to Tasmania for just that purpose.

A unique place with amazing views, friendly and proactive staff, and lovely rooms.||Only 20 suites and all with amazing views - we stayed in a signature suite and enjoyed the extra space and magnificent views from our full height windows. ||We also really enjoyed the included experiences which included Paul taking us to the oyster farm👍, Glenn showing us around his lovely vineyard #craigieknowe, and Tom showing us the magnificently positioned #waubharbour distillery.||Thanks to the staff for making it such a warm and welcoming place and Oliver for the tailored whisky tasting||An unforgettable place!

How can you rate this place higher than perfect?
Saffire if an amazing place - awesome rooms and public areas, beautiful peaceful views, incredible range of activities.
Every single staff member was brilliant - nothing was a problem, no did not exist in their vocabulary. you were made to feel so totally comfortable. I can't descibe how good this place is. Food was top class - fine dining every night at dinner - so many choices. So yes Saffire was a total experience and absolutely faultless.

We visited this property previously and decided to book another stay as repeat guests. Unfortunately I broke my ankle three days before our arrival and had to return home to the US immediately. I contacted this property on the day of the accident. They informed me that they have a 30-day cancellation policy and would not be refunding any of my money for the stay. Two nights at this property costs more than $3,000. While I understand that there is a reason for the cancellation policy- to maximize profits by ensuring that guests take their commitment to arrive seriously and do not abandon unoccupied rooms that could have been filled with paying guests. That said, there is also a place for common human decency when an unforeseen medical emergency suddenly requires a planned guest to occupy a hospital bed instead of one of Saffire's. This resort is all inclusive and I find it particularly appalling that they did not refund even their own cost savings corresponding to not having to clean the room, provide meals, alcoholic beverages and excursions which are all included in the price. I tried to reason with the general manager and they did not even reply to my last message. I think that this company is profit driven and has no heart.
Having read the response to my review I would like to add that they offered me one day (24 hours) to change my reservation with an additional fee, and a firm date commitment in the future. They said that if we did not adhere to the specific date request that our change fee would be also become non-refundable. As we live in the United States, this was not a viable solution and really offered us nothing. Furthermore since the manager also clearly knows who we are, I would note that he has made no attempt to contact us since this review was posted.

Saffire Freycinet is a beautiful place. The building and location are extraordinary! However I’m giving them 4 stars because I felt there were a few issues with the hotel. I had food related issues. I cannot and don’t like to eat food with added oil butter mayonnaise For breakfast the first day I asked for my toast with no butter or oil. My toast came swimming in oil. The same with dinner- they have a tasting menu and an additional fussy menu. They don’t have a bar menu. Where you could have something healthy or simple - like salads or a burger. We stayed there for 3 nights and dinner menu was too complicated and fussy. Management also should train waiters so that they listen. I said from the first meal there that I didn’t like oil butter mayonnaise. They just brought all my food with all of the above.
Also, the gym is super bad. They really need to improve the gym facilities.
We did the morning boat tour and it was AMAZING!!!!! We loved it!!!!
The wine tour wasn’t the best for sure.
Overall- it was very nice. But not so happy with the food since I wanted more simple healthier options
