Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see around Nunkeri, given its proximity to Freycinet National Park?

While Freycinet is famed for its stunning coastal scenery, don't expect the big game safaris of Africa. We love spotting wallabies and echidnas right near the lodge, and birdlife is abundant. Keep an eye out for the shy Bennett's wallabies and the occasional shy quoll if you're out at dusk.

We're planning a trip to Nunkeri. When is the absolute best time to visit for comfortable weather and fewer crowds?

We find the shoulder seasons, spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May), offer the most pleasant experience. The weather is generally mild, perfect for exploring, and you'll avoid the peak summer rush. The colours of the landscape are also particularly beautiful during these times.

What are the typical costs associated with a stay at Nunkeri, and what's usually included?

Nunkeri offers a luxurious experience, so expect prices to reflect that. We recommend budgeting for accommodation, which often includes gourmet meals and select beverages. Day trips or guided activities outside the immediate lodge grounds might incur additional charges, so it's wise to clarify inclusions when booking.

Beyond the lodge's own offerings, what are the must-do activities we should prioritize near Nunkeri?

You absolutely must hike to Wineglass Bay lookout for those iconic views we all know. We also love exploring the Hazards Beach circuit for a more secluded coastal walk. Kayaking in the bay is another sensational way to experience the park's beauty up close.

What safety considerations should we be aware of when staying at Nunkeri and exploring the Freycinet area?

The primary safety concern is the coastal environment. Always be mindful of tides and currents if swimming or kayaking. For hiking, wear sturdy shoes, carry water, and let someone know your plans, especially if venturing onto less populated trails. Wildlife is generally not a threat, but always observe from a respectful distance.
