Book The Bay Restaurant for dinner well ahead of arrival — it fills fast, especially in high season

Why It Matters

The only accommodation and dining inside Freycinet National Park. Guests wake up steps from Richardsons Beach with wallabies outside and direct access to the Wineglass Bay track. The main lodge building with its giant stone fireplace is genuinely memorable.

Freycinet Lodge sits entirely inside Freycinet National Park on Tasmania's east coast — the only accommodation within the park itself. Think luxury rethink of a camp cabin: high-ceilinged timber structures connected by raised boardwalks through she-oak forest, with a main lodge anchored by a giant stone fireplace. Rooms range from entry-level bushland cabins to full Coastal Pavilions with outdoor bathtubs and private decks facing the coastline. Three restaurants and a bar round it out, making it a fully self-contained base for one of Australia's most remote and spectacular national parks.

The lodge's top tier. Standalone pavilions set among coastal bush with a king bed, separate living area, expansive deck, outdoor bathtub, and complimentary minibar. Each pavilion faces the coastline but they're among the trees — don't expect guaranteed water views. Breakfast for two included, either in the main lodge or as an in-room hamper. Two-night minimum in high season.
