“Freycinet Lodge sits comfortably within its national park surrounds, a true nature retreat with thoughtful architecture. I particularly appreciate the dedication to showcasing Tasmanian produce in the on-site dining. While some may find the activities a bit pricey, the location-near Wineglass Bay and the Hazards-more than compensates, offering a genuinely immersive experience.”

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

great locationclean accommodationdedicated parkingscraping doorbroken coat hangerlight globe

The location is definitely a strong point. The proximity to trailheads and Honeymoon Bay made exploring easy. Our accommodation was clean and well appointed. I also appreciated that each lodge had its own dedicated parking spot.

I had to adjust the refrigerator door as it scraped the floor in the room. Some coat hangers were broken (which was a minor inconvenience). One light globe was out, which I reported to the reception.

Adequate stay with some drawbacks

I had a premier cabin. It blended beautifully into the surrounding nature. Parking was very close to the cabin, this made moving luggage easy.

The room seemed overpriced for the quality provided. It value for money during my trip. The facilities were not what I expected.
