Savouring the afternoon: a slow sunset picninc at Freycinet Peninsula with Prim & Platter.

Autumn has arrived. This is the season where leaves falls from the trees, although, here in Tasmania, as there is only one decidious native tree, this is not that common.  This moment of the year brings less minutes of sunligth and more chilly breezes, inviting us all to slow down. Near the edge of Freycinet National Park, there is a place where this, becomes a gentle ritual.

Surrounded by the rhythm of wild coastline and bushland, at Numie, we honour those rare afternoons when time softens, when to-do lists fade and presence takes its place.

Picture golden hour in the heart of autumn: birds stirring through the eucalypts, native trees holding the hush, the fire pit crackling gently as the sun melts behind the curve of Wineglass Bay. Slowing down is part of the experience.

Local Tasmanian flavours during your stay at Numie.

This autumn season, in collaboration with Prim & Platter, we invite you to indulge in a quiet luxury: a curated, local grazing board delivered right to your fridge at Numie. Perfect for cozy evenings, romantic getaways or soulful solo time by Pelican Bay,

KJ, the artist behind Prim & Platter, brings Tasmania’s bounty to life through her seasonal creations: thoughtful, beautiful, and deeply rooted in place. Her platters are a story told in flavours and textures, a sensory moment shaped by the land around us.

This autumn, KJ boards showcase the wild nature island’s best: “Ashgrove Tasmanian Signature farmstead cheese with rich quince paste and Tasman Sea Salt Lavosh,” she shares. “Wicked Cream Triple Cream Brie paired with fresh fruit and smoky bush pepper almonds—a little bold, a little soft.” And for something truly special, “Tasmanian heritage cheddar alongside whiskey-preserved apricots—a quiet nod to cooler nights ahead.”

Every bite reflects the region: the salt of the sea, the earthiness of native herbs, the sweetness of orchard fruit. It’s a moment to pause, to taste slowly, to connect with place. Whether it’s at the Retreat House deck gazing at the Hazard Mountains, tucked beside your hot tub at one of our cozy Cocoons, or gathered by the fire at your glamping tent, let the stillness and local flavours of this special cheese platters wrap around you.

Slow travel in Tassie can also look like this.

So many come to Tasmania searching for nature, for beauty, for food experiences, for rest. At Numie, in the heart of the Freycinet Peninsula, we offer something just as magical: the space to be still, and the little luxuries that make stillness feel special. Slowing down isn’t just stepping away, but stepping into presence.

When you visit us, find your sunset corner, bring a blanket, your favorite music, or let nature fill the silence. And let the local flavours of your Prim & Platter join the moment.

So when the afternoon leans in and asks for your attention, give it. And let your senses follow.

Prim & Platter cheese platters invite you to savour the afternoon.
