YOUR DESTINATION Freycinet Lodge is the ultimate balance of pristine wilderness and eco-sensitive luxury located on 5.6

hectares just inside the National Park at Coles Bay on Tasmania’s East Coast. The spectacular waterfront

location is a superb setting for conference and incentive groups.

With highlights like the aqua waters of Wineglass Bay, named one of the ‘Top Ten Beaches in the World’

by Great Outdoors Magazine; and the luminous pink quartz of the Hazards Mountains, your guests will

find this destination irresistible.

The Freycinet Peninsula landmass formed over hundreds of millions of years to create the sculpted bays

and distinctive granite monoliths that are visible today. The jagged peaks of The Hazards mountains,

Mount Graham and Mount Freycinet are tethered by a low, sandy isthmus, and the peninsula’s diverse

vegetation includes coastal scrub, wetlands and dry eucalypt forests.

Freycinet Peninsula has been a centre for whaling, mining, granite quarrying and farming, and evidence of

this history can still be seen in the landscape. Aquaculture has been a prominent industry in the area

since the 1970s, harvesting the abundant oysters, mussels, scallops and abalone that thrive in the clean

waters of the east coast.

Combine the wildlife, walks, food and wine, heritage and a variety of land and water based activities to

make your event unforgettable.
