"Perched on the Freycinet Peninsula with sweeping views of Wineglass Bay and granite peaks, this architecturally striking lodge (whose silhouette evokes a metallic stingray) offers 20 suites with deep-soaking tubs, king beds and scenic sundecks that combine rugged Tassie adventure with high-end comforts. Guests can kayak to turquoise coves, hike ancient forests and return to luxuries such as private plunge pools and regional Tasmanian wines for a seamless mix of exploration and indulgence." - Jennifer Flowers, Krisanne Fordham, Laura Dannen Redman
