A stay at the luxurious Saffire Freycinet on Tasmania’s East Coast includes an opportunity to dip your toes in the water and eat oysters straight from the sea.
The complimentary experience for Saffire guests sees guests visiting the neighbouring Freycinet Marine Farm where they don waders and make their way to the oyster leases. A Saffire guide sets up a white-clothed table in the shallow water, and guests gather around as the guide shucks oysters fresh from the leases, where they’re enjoyed with premium Tasmanian sparkling wine.
The oyster farm experience is an opportunity to develop a profound appreciation for the local seafood. Guests learn about the life cycle of oysters and gain a deeper understanding of the hard work and meticulous processes involved in cultivating and harvesting these treasures of the sea.
The experience also offers insights into the relationship between oysters and the environment, the sustainable practices that ensure their continued abundance and the vital role oysters play in maintaining the delicate balance of this unique ecosystem.
This is just one of many complimentary signature experiences and self-guided activities that enable Saffire guests to engage and connect with Freycinet National Park’s stunning natural wonders and attractions.
When you’re finished savouring the ocean’s briny flavours, kick back in one of Saffire’s beautifully appointed suites, each one featuring Tasmanian timbers, Australian designer touches and alluring views.
