A sea of glass makes the most of the dazzling setting, overlooking the ocean and the Hazards, while natural materials – leather, timber, stone – have contributed to the seemingly organic nature of this lush lodge.

The food here is also a high point, with Tasmanian produce going into the degustation menus.
