Though I’ve never been to Australia, I count quite a few Australians as my friends. Tasmanians too!
So, I’ve got to give it up to them for this incredible looking resort located off Tasmania’s East Coast. Looks like a great place to relax. It’s called the SAFFIRE FREYCINET resort.

Designed by Tasmanian architects Morris Nunn and Associates, Saffire consists of only 20 suites ranging in size from 80 m² (860 sq. Ft.) to 140 m² (1506 sq. ft.). The buildings are super-modern yet reflect the surrounding environment perfectly. Waves, manta rays, sand dunes are all forms that come to mind both inside and out.
The interior design, by Chhada Siembieda Australia, takes advantage of the surrounding materials and vistas. Stone and timber are the key materials but they are used in a light, airy fashion. The colour palette reflects the surroundings as well focusing on soft grays, greens and a snap of orange.
Rates start from $1550 per night, per suite for 2 people and includes dinner plus beverages.
