From Tasmania to Table

From the water just beyond your view to the farmland that stretches behind, ingredients travel only a short distance before arriving at your table, all part of your stay. Oysters and seafood drawn from Puthimiluna / Great Oyster Bay, cool climate wines from nearby vineyards, and seasonal produce selected daily come together in a true expression of the region.

Palate Restaurant, Tasmanian Food, Creative Spirit

Stories of earth and sky frame every meal at Palate. While you dine beneath distant galaxies, ancient petrified wood 'eyes' formed over millions of years connect the night sky above with the land and sea just beyond your table. Long associated with grounding and connection to the past, it sits alongside dishes showcasing Tasmania's seasonal bounty as a reminder of the deep history held within this place.

Dining, all day, all inclusive

Saffire Freycinet offers freshly prepared meals throughout the day along with convenient in-suite dining.

The Lounge, Settle Deep, Linger Long

The Lounge invites a natural shift in purpose through the day. In the morning, it’s a quiet place for coffee, a moment to sit back and gently contemplate the day ahead. As the day passes, the Hazards take on a warm blush of pink and red, drawing the eye beyond the glass. By evening, it settles into a warm and inviting space for pre-dinner cocktails and delicate canapés, or the perfect spot to complete the day with a nightcap.
