The location of this resort is impressive. Sure Freycinet lodge may be closer to the actual national park, but all you do is look out at the bay. Edge of the Bay looks across the bay towards the Hazards. The views are spectacular. Native fauna wanders around your back garden. You can walk off your back balcony to Coles Beach.... More

We visited Tasmania as part of my family's celebration for my mother's 90th. On the way we had a couple of nights to ourselves and drove down from Launceston to Freycinet for a couple of nights at Edge of the Bay Retreat. We paid $218.00 a night which included a $30 credit to the cost of our dinner. I thought... More

We stayed 3 nights here in suite 29 with lovely sea views from our unit and bed! Very comfortable with easy access to beach and walks. There are no cooking facilities in the suite but the restaurant offers excellent food. We were looked after by Stephanie and Nils who were our charming hosts whilst staying. The local Wallabies and Blue... More

We recently stayed at The Edge of the Bay, a great location to enjoy Freycinet and surrounding area. We had the waterfront suite, which was very comfortable and well thought out. The kitchenette is only suitable for tea/ coffee and breakfast etc, but with the wonderful restaurant you don't need to go far for dinner, we preferred it to the... More

This was our first visit and we chose an Ocean View Suite which was just beautiful, spacious and well appointed and with stunning views. A path leads from the private balcony and before you know it you're on the beach and can enjoy the stunning rocks and beach and take in the fabulous view of The Hazards. We were blessed... More

Recently stayed one night over Easter at the "Edge". Slightly off the beaten track, after check-in you are directed to your room which is set in bushland so it's a surprise to enter very modern and contemporary accommodation in neutral shades of grey. Minimalist, but everything you need is on hand and when you wander out through the sliding glass... More

We booked one of the cottages at Edge of the Bay over the Easter long weekend. We spent 4 lovely days at Edge of the Bay and couldn't recommend it highly enough. The location of the resort is just fantastic - in the middle of the bush just outside the magnificent Freycinet National Park and minutes from the private beach... More

We stayed at the Ocean View Suite that was clean, comfortable and although equipped with modern furnitures - it was cosy. A short 5 min walk will lead you to picture perfect view of the Hazards and beautiful beach. If only the water is warm! We dined at the restaurant - food was good but portions may seemed small for...

Great spot to enjoy Freycinet area. If you feel fit & energetic I can recommend the long 5 hour walk to Wine Glass Bay lookout & surrounds. Also visit the lighthouse for a great view. Restaurant at hotel is very nice but servings a bit small. Don't bother with breakdast basket just go down to Coles Bay.

I have previously had nice things to say about the Edge of the Bay and our most recent visit in March13 for 5 nights was just as enjoyable as our previous 10 visits. We discovered the place in 2004 and have been drawn back ever since. Typically staying 4 or 5 nights on one of the cottages. There rustic appearance... More
