Leading travel trade publication LATTE Luxury News has spotlighted Tasmania as one of Australia’s most compelling luxury destinations, with particular attention given to the seamless pairing of east coast indulgence and remote wilderness exploration through Saffire Freycinet and On Board Expeditions.
Positioned on the edge of Freycinet National Park, Saffire Freycinet was recognised for its immersive luxury offering, where sculptural architecture, highly personalised service and deeply local experiences connect guests to Tasmania’s natural environment. The coverage highlighted signature experiences including oyster farm dining, coastal encounters and panoramic views across Great Oyster Bay and the Hazards mountain range.
Complementing this experience, On Board Expeditions was featured for its boutique expedition journeys through Tasmania’s remote Southwest Wilderness Area aboard Odalisque III. Exploring the UNESCO World Heritage-listed waterways of Port Davey and Bathurst Harbour, guests experience one of Australia’s last truly untouched regions through guided walks, wildlife encounters and intimate small-ship exploration.
Together, the two Luxury Lodges of Australia were recognised for creating a distinctive coast-to-coast luxury journey, linking Tasmania’s east and west coasts through exclusive seaplane transfers and curated wilderness experiences. The feature reflects the growing international appetite for experiential luxury travel that combines access, authenticity and extraordinary natural landscapes.
