Unwind & Indulge: Luxury Freycinet Accommodation for A Truly Glam Escape

Encased within the rugged beauty of Tasmania’s Freycinet Peninsula, this slice of paradise is more than just a postcard-perfect destination—it’s a place that gets under your skin. Freycinet National Park, home to the famed Wineglass Bay, is the kind of place that lingers in the mind long after you’ve left. The coastline is a fever dream of white sand beaches, windswept granite peaks blushing pink in the sunlight, and incredible walks that take you deep into a wilderness teeming with life. It’s raw, it’s untamed, and it demands to be explored.

After a day spent losing yourself in the landscape, the right place to stay can elevate the experience even further. Freycinet’s luxury accommodation options redefine what it means to unwind, where indulgence and nature exist in perfect harmony. Lodges perch on cliffs with ocean views that stretch to the horizon, eco-retreats hide in dense forest, and private sanctuaries offer a sense of solitude that feels almost sacred.

Freycinet Lodge

Set between the wild coastline and the towering Hazards mountains, Freycinet Lodge is where rugged meets refined. The only accommodation within Freycinet National Park, it requires a park pass to access—a small price to pay for the privilege of being completely immersed in one of Tasmania’s most breathtaking landscapes. Here, nature isn’t just a backdrop; it’s the main event.

The rooms are a masterclass in understated luxury—thoughtfully designed to blend into the bushland without skimping on comfort. Think plush king beds, deep outdoor bathtubs made for long, contemplative soaks, and sprawling decks that invite you to sip, savour, and stare out at the wilderness. After a day spent navigating Wineglass Bay’s pristine sands or tackling the park’s rugged trails, you won’t have to wander far for a proper meal. On-site dining leans into Tasmania’s finest local produce, served up with a view that turns even the simplest dish into an occasion.

All meals and drinks are included, with a daily bounty of fresh seafood delivered straight from the fishing boats to the kitchen. A diverse range of activities ensures every moment is well spent, from indulgent spa treatments and guided nature walks to cocktail-making classes, kayaking, beekeeping, and distillery and vineyard tours. For a true taste of the region, don a pair of waders and dine on freshly shucked oysters at a working oyster farm. Settle in and soak it all up—just be warned, leaving might be the hardest part.

A stay at this three-bedroom house — perfect for couples, families or small groups of friends — gives you exclusive use of the Nordic sauna and outdoor shower for a little ‘fire and freeze’ boost.

Picnic Island

Just around the bend from the world-famous Wineglass Bay, a tiny, storybook island awaits. Picnic Island is yours alone—an exclusive escape for up to 10 guests, though you’ll share the magic with a few charming locals. By day, watch dolphins and seals dance through the waves, with the occasional whale gracing the horizon if luck is on your side. As the sun dips, the island hums to life with penguins and shearwaters returning to their burrows, a nightly ritual that feels like a secret show just for you.

Arrive in style by water taxi or seaplane, then slip effortlessly into island time. Swim in crystal-clear waters, reel in the catch of the day, paddle through glassy coves, or do absolutely nothing at all—just you, the sea, and the sky. As dusk settles, gather around the fire, a glass of Tassie wine in hand, and toast to the kind of barefoot luxury that lingers long after you’ve left.

Piermont Retreat

Piermont Retreat is where wild beauty meets quiet indulgence. Here, stone cottages and sleek eco-lodges spill onto a private stretch of sand, kissed by the rolling waves of Great Oyster Bay. Mornings are for slow sips of coffee on your deck, afternoons for kayaking or wandering windswept trails. As the sun fades, The Homestead beckons with fire-lit warmth and a menu that reads like poetry—Tasmanian oysters, just-caught fish, and garden-grown greens. A place to disappear, just for a while, and never quite return the same.
