Freycinet Eco Retreat

Staffs are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Very welcoming. The chef culinary skills is excellent.A simple porridge can look so beautiful and taste delicious. Must eat there. The drive to the hotel is our least preferred bcos of gravel road which we hoped they can improve in that. But the view is totally worth it. Make sure car rental company allows u on u sealed road. Overall we loved this quiet nature place.

Freycinet resort was a highlight of our honey moon trip. Its quiet nature retreat, amazing galaxy starry night. It offers private timber pavilions with panoramic views, close access to Freycinet National Park, and luxury wilderness lodging . Absolutely mind-blowing experience at the restaurant, breakfast was also very delicious. We are very happy with the hotel, staff, area around the hotel is lovely, we saw wallabies in the area. In the mornings we saw the sunrise and had coffee on the deck while watching wallabies. Will definitely come back here.

When we arrived for check in, we were promised a complimentary breakfast that was included in our stay. We were shown the hot menu items and when we asked when breakfast was served they told us 7:30-9:30. We double checked the breakfast times. My partner and I are not morning people who don’t usually wake up before 10am for breakfast while on holiday, however we made the exception this time considering how much we paid for this room (higher than normal rate for a one night stay at an accomodation). We arrived at the restaurant at 9:08am, and were told that the kitchen was now closed and an average continental breakfast of toast, plain yoghurt, and cold pastries was provided instead. Coffee came out of a service station standard pod machine. It was milky and there was no espresso. We were hoping to hike in the national park and needed more than bread and milk to fill us. We had to go to a local cafe to get the breakfast promised by our accomodation. Additionally each interaction with the staff felt like an attempt to funnel us into their expensive restaurant. When we arrived we were asked multiple times over the course of five minutes what our dinner plans were and where they were. It was the beginning of a pattern of unprofessional behaviour which culminated in our tired and hungry departure as the receptionist mumbled out a faint goodbye through a mouthful of toast.

Overall, it was a nice stay at the hotel. The price is a bit on the high side. Breakfast is included in the price, and understandably so as the hotel is quite a drive in from the main road/highway. The staff was friendly and professional.

Room with a nice view. There is a stove and microwave grill oven in the room. Should have brought more ingredients to cook dinner at night.
