From remote outback escapes to rugged reef‑fringed coastlines, a recent feature in Escape rounds up some of Australia’s most compelling short‑break destinations – and in doing so, shines a spotlight on several Luxury Lodges of Australia.

Tasmania’s iconic east coast features next, with Saffire Freycinet acting as the perfect base to explore the Freycinet region. Framed by pink granite mountains and pristine waters, this lodge epitomises coastal luxury and serves as a base for exploring Wineglass Bay and the surrounding wilderness.
