We picked this resort based totally on it's location, and from that point of view it didn't disappoint. Nestled in the bush with stunning views towards the Hazzards it would be difficult to find anywhere else that you could be that close to nature. The beach was a short 2 minute walk from our cabin, and many times we seemed... More

The standout feature of this property is the location and the view. With views spanning the famous Hazards and Freycinet national park it is a definite quality option. The rooms were decent, without being impressive, and the restaurant served quality food. Staff were very helpful.

We stayed at The Edge of the Bay Resort at a friend's recommendation and we were not disappointed. The staff were incredibly helpful and professional. The food was AMAZING and the view...we couldn't get enough of it. I could wake up to that view every day. It's in a great location - very close to the national park and Coles... More

My husband and I recently spent 3 nights here and wish we had booked for longer, the accommodation is great and the views spectacular. We had the most amazing views from our bed and as this was our first trip to Tassie we will certainly be returning. An absolute must is a meal in the restaurant, the food was delicious.

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
