1 SAFFIRE FREYCINET 

If you haven't yet visited this luxury Tasmanian lodge, chances are it's been topping your lust list since it opened in 2010. Sublime undulating architecture is embedded into the even more sublime and undulating surrounds to make this the place to go when you need more awe in your life. Each of the 20 rooms has views for days while the four private pavilions - each with its own plunge pool - offer the ultimate luxe stay. The elegant food and drinks are on free flow and service is delivered with a hyper-personal touch. It's also one of the few luxury Australian lodges where children are welcome, if it's family connection you crave. saffire-freycinet.com.au
