As winter settles over Tasmania’s east coast, Saffire Freycinet unveils Wonders of Winter, an exclusive, seasonally curated package inviting guests to experience Freycinet at its most elemental and serene.
Framed by the pink granite peaks of the Hazards and the still waters of Great Oyster Bay, winter transforms Freycinet National Park. The air sharpens, the light turns crystalline and a rare quiet descends across the landscape. It is a season of heightened contrast and deeper connection, where remoteness becomes luxury and time moves differently.
Available from 1 May to 30 September 2026, Wonders of Winter has been thoughtfully designed to immerse guests in the textures, flavours and celestial beauty of the cooler months.
“Winter is an extraordinary time to experience Tasmania,” said Dylan Counsel, General Manager of Saffire Freycinet. “Our team has carefully curated an experience that captures the clarity and calm of the season, inviting guests to retreat, restore and be nowhere else.”
Crafted for guests who seek understated luxury and seasonal authenticity, the Winter Wonders package highlights:
- Winter Nights Beneath the Stars – Gather under Tasmania’s magnificent night sky for guided stargazing paired with local spirits or fine wine, where celestial galaxies take centre stage.
- Elemental Gems – Discover the geological wonders that shape the ancient Freycinet landscape, guided by expert insight and complete with a bespoke keepsake.
- Journey Into the Blue – Included is a Wildlife and Wilderness Cruise, offering half-day exploration of rugged coastal scenery and exclusive access to remote bays and marine life.
- Seasonal Culinary Offering – At Palate, Saffire’s signature restaurant, the winter menu celebrates Tasmania’s finest seasonal produce; from winter truffles and oyster mushrooms to locally harvested shellfish, perfectly paired with sommelier-selected regional wines.
- Waverley Mills Gift Selection – Each guest receives a locally made woollen keepsake, a refined keepsake to cherish during their stay and beyond, serving as a timeless memento of winter at Saffire Freycinet.
Recently awarded two MICHELIN Keys (2025), Saffire Freycinet continues to define contemporary Australian luxury through highly personalised service, immersive nature experiences and refined culinary excellence. Saffire has further expanded its award-winning team with the addition of Executive Chef Justin Dingle-Garcíyya at Palate restaurant. Following a wealth of international experience, Dingle-Garciyya presents a seasonal winter menu that celebrates Tasmania’s finest produce, thoughtfully paired with sommelier-selected local wines.
The Wonders of Winter stay is available to book now via the Saffire Freycinet website and runs from 1 May – 30 September 2026.
