Freycinet Lodge

Beautiful place to stay. The accommodation (Ocean View #66) was amazing. The layout is unique in that each room runs parallel to the beach. The bed was very comfortable and the A/C was necessary for the hot afternoon sun. The bathtub, on the outside deck, was lovely. You are also connected to the beach so it is just a short walk from the property to the lovely beach. I highly recommend this place and hope to go there again.

We loved our 3 night stay at Freycinet Lodge, our Premier Cabin had the most comfortable King bed and the best water views, even better, it was easy access to the beach. The rooms were huge and very modern. We had a small balcony to sit on and admire the view and the view from the bath was just perfect! Breakfast and dinner in the main restaurant was delicious with attentive, friendly staff and amazing food. The Bistro offered cheaper lunch and dinner options but still a great outlook and tasty food. Reception organised our tours and nothing was a problem. Parking was easy with each cabin having its own designated space. We could not fault this lodge, our stay was truly wonderful.

Such a lovely stay! We had a cabin which was help luxurious and peaceful. The room came with a hot tub bath and free wine which we really enjoyed. Breakfast was also amazing, and the hotel is located next to some fantastic walks. Highly recommend walking across the beach to Coles Bay and driving down the road to do the wineglass bay lookout.

Wonderful stay in their accessible Lodge King (room 80) which is conveniently close to lobby/restaurant/laundry. Great views and spacious. Nice minibar with drinks included. Staff service was great. Restaurant was wonderful. This is the only resort with a private jetty where Wineglass Bay cruise boat will pick you up. Just ask front desk to inform cruise company :) Extremely memorable stay !

Stayed for 4 nights in the Pavilions.||Pavilion accommodation is very nice and modern. But note, they only have glimpses of the water, which is fine, but the web site is mis leading on this point that they can see the water. ||It’s very quiet & peaceful place. Nice walks. ||The restaurant & bistro food is very average at best. And the breakfast food is appalling. ||Also the main lodge is in desperate need of a refurbishment and some love and tender care. It’s big and characterless. ||We asked for room service one night. They said they don’t officially offer it, but they got the Bistro to send it over one night. No cutlery and the food was inedible, ||Staff were super friendly. ||All up for $1200+ per night, they need to lift their game.

This review is about service, not the rooms. Given this is positioned as an upmarket property, we expected the service to match. It didn’t. We went to the bar downstairs to order a couple of coffees and were told the bar was closed and to go to the bistro. There were three staff behind the bar at the time, chatting and apparently preparing for opening later. No problem if it was closed — but no clear direction was given. We went to what we assumed was the bistro, only to find no one there. After waiting for a while, we went to reception to ask where we could get a coffee and were again told to go to the bistro. Kylie explained there was no one there, so the receptionist came with her. She initially responded in a slightly aloof, mildly condescending way, insisting staff were present, then led her outside, around to another dining area on an outer deck that wasn’t obvious or signposted. This could all have been avoided with a simple, friendly explanation: “Sorry, the bar is closed — just head outside onto the balcony and around to the right, and they’ll look after you.” Instead, we were made to feel like the inconvenience was ours. No one was rude, but no one was particularly helpful either. In a place like this, a few extra words and a bit of care make all the difference. We have two sets of friends and my elderly mother visiting Tasmania over the next month — we’re travelling here for 11 weeks — and although we initially suggested this property, there are too many genuinely welcoming places in Tasmania to justify recommending or returning here.

From the warm welcome we received from Ana during our respective (two couples) check-ins, to Tiffany farewelling us, we couldn't find fault with a single member of the team at Freycinet Lodge.||We always received warm and friendly service, and we were treated as valued guests, not just as customers. Lars, Pau, and a few other team members provided attentive service every time we dined in Bay Restaurant (twice for dinner, and twice for breakfast).||The location can't be beaten; it's in one of the most pristine and beautiful places any one of the four of us have ever visited (and each of us have been fortunate to travel extensively, both in Australia, as well as many countries overseas).||While the bed wasn't as comfortable as I would have liked (or expected, for the price we paid for our accommodation), this wouldn't stop me from returning.||The property is over thirty years old, and is beginning to show its age, but is obviously well-maintained.||Prior to deciding to stay at Freycinet Lodge, the four of us thought it would be a "once-off" for us, but we now agree we could easily return for a second stay.||Thanks to all the team members at Freycinet Lodge for having made our stay so enjoyable, relaxing, and memorable.

We picked this beautiful place to stay for my husband’s 60th birthday & we weren’t disappointed. The location is fabulous, with a choice of beautiful unspoilt beaches just a few steps away. Perfect for swimming and watching the sun set. |We were just a few minutes drive to the start of the trail to the Wineglass Bay lookout. We extended the walk by doing the 12km Hazard’s beach loop which took about 4.5 hours. |We had great food onsite at the Bistro and a very special dinner at the Bay restaurant. Delicious food and wine, and attentive service from Lucas.|Our cabin was very clean and comfortable. The spa bath was very welcome after our long hike.|All in all we had a wonderful time and although it’s the most expensive place on our Tasmania trip we thought it was well worth it.

We stayed here to hike in the Freycinet Park. It was a great place to stay. Our room was spacious with a king sized bed, comfy pillows and a large bathroom. My fav was the wall of windows that provided views to the bush scenery outside our lodge. There was a tub outside and nice patio to enjoy nature. We peaked outside around 10pm and got a good view of the stars. The minibar is all free. Breakfast is included in your room cost. We also ate in the restaurant to great views of the water and delicious food. Staff was very welcoming and enhanced our stay. Great experience!

Such a nice place to stay. Vith a marvelous view on the Coles bay from the restaurant and the terrace. The sunset is incredible ! The cabin was nice and pretty. Beds are confortable. The room was quite spacious for twoo with a big shower :-) The only problem with the room was the wifi. We were at the end of the lodges and we didn't received the signal... They are gentle and if you want to make a reservation for an activity, don't mind, just ask them they'll do for you. The breakfast buffet is incredible. English breakfast such as continental. Fresh products and they fill it regularly so you never miss something ! One regret for the breakfast is the lack of hot chocolate. You must buy it. If you want to enjoy a marvelous place with nice service and beautiful view, don't hesitate !
