Saffire Freycinet Is A World's Best Luxury Resort

If location is everything in real estate SAFFIRE FREYCINET would win the grand prize. This intimate 20 suite luxury resort at the edge of Freycinet National Park overlooks Coles Bay and a jagged pink granite mountain range called The Hazards. Saffire Freycinet is situated in eastern Tasmania, the wild and exotic island state of Australia.

Architecturally, the resort is one of the most distinctive buildings to be found anywhere in Australia, packing a bigger visual punch than a dozen rivals combined. Saffire Freycinet is a vast curvilinear structure described variously as a massive manta ray spreading its wings or a spaceship that has miraculously landed in the Tasmanian bushland. A wall of windows provide a panoramic view of Coles Bay and The Hazards. The building is so vast that it seems to wrap its arms around them.
