Carbon-Neutral Australian Resorts

The Saffire Freycinet Resort, nestled within Tasmania’s Freycinet National Park, offers a distinctive blend of ecological integrity and refined luxury. As part of a state that achieved carbon neutrality in 2015, the resort reflects a deep commitment to environmental stewardship and place-based hospitality.

To support local biodiversity, over 30,000 native plants have been reintroduced to the landscape. In addition, the resort employs energy-efficient airflow systems and prioritizes Tasmanian-made materials to reduce its carbon footprint. Accommodation options include 20 private suites and pavilions, each designed with natural materials such as locally sourced timber and minimalist interiors that emphasize surrounding views. Features include private terraces, plunge pools, and spacious bath areas.

Moreover, guests can enjoy curated experiences like hiking, oyster harvesting, and beekeeping. For dining, Palate Restaurant offers a daily-changing menu using fresh, local ingredients, paired with regional wines—delivering a culinary experience that is both sustainable and seasonal.
