The Lounge

“It was like they could read our minds. They seemed to offer us things we didn’t even know we needed.”

For those accustomed to luxury travel, our lounge is the perfect place to take a moment, grab a book from the library or meet for a drink. Designed to make you feel at home, the lounge is the heart of Saffire Freycinet’s hospitality.

Here, you can sink into our “classically cool” furniture from original 1950s designers and manufacturers. A nightcap over a board game by the five-metre fireplace would be the perfect way to wind down. And on balmier nights our courtyard is the ultimate place to catch a breathtaking Freycinet sunset.

For those accustomed to luxury travel, the lounge is the heart of our hospitality and is designed to make you feel at home. Enjoy fresh local produce, or or meet for a drink.
