I can't say enough wonderful things about Saffire Freycinet -- the place, the activities and, most of all, the amazing staff. Honestly, the photos/words on the website don't begin to do it justice. When we arrived, I understood for the first time the meaning of the word "stunning"-- I literally was stunned by the sheer beauty and couldn't speak for a few moments! We partook in several amazing experiences/activities, such as the marine oyster farm tour (don the provided waders and schlepp through a pristine estuary to a table in the water where you will be served freshly-shucked oysters and champagne), the bird-watching/kayaking tour, and the Tassie Devil viewing. Wow! These special opportunities are not to be missed, and were in large part responsible for converting our Saffire stay from a super expensive luxury hotel indulgence to an all-inclusive-tailored-one-of-a-kind experience. Another part is the constant dining offerings: a complete sensory delight that will thrill any gourmand or foodie. So, when you factor in the SPECIALIZED guided activities and the CULINARY cornucopia with the GORGEOUS view, grounds, rooms and the OUTSTANDING staff who did triple back flips to please me and my 10 year old son (Nick & Co. - we miss you!), it almost seemed like a bargain to this cost-conscious traveler. Okay, maybe not a bargain, but certainly worth every penny.
Treat yourself to a stay at Saffire Freycinet and you will not be disappointed. The experience was beyond superlative!
