Open menuWhy it's worth checking out
The Bay Restaurant is a waterfront dining option at Freycinet Lodge, close to Coles Bay and the entrance to Freycinet National Park. It welcomes both lodge guests and visitors, making it a practical stop before a day exploring the park or relaxing at nearby Richardsons Beach.
Breakfast is available to start the day, while the evening offering centres on gourmet cuisine prepared with fresh local produce. The restaurant’s setting is a major part of the experience, with views across Great Oyster Bay and the opportunity to watch the sunset while dining. The website also highlights Tasmania’s seafood as part of the wider Freycinet Lodge dining experience, although no specific dishes are listed.
With elegant surroundings and a choice of seating suited to an intimate dinner or a larger special occasion, The Bay Restaurant can work for couples, groups of friends and visitors marking an occasion. It is a more formal option than the lodge’s Richardson’s Bistro, which is described as casual, while Hazards Bar & Lounge caters for pre- or post-dinner drinks. Bookings are strongly recommended, either at check-in or by phoning ahead.
