Keep the love alive by visiting these amazingly romantic places with your special someone this weekend.
1. Daylesford, Victoria
If you’re looking for the ultimate indulgence, you can’t go wrong with Daylesford. Nestled on the foothills of the Great Dividing Range, around 90 minutes from Melbourne, Australia’s original spa town is well known for its natural mineral springs. Relaxing activities such as taking a dip in the healing waters, massage or facial, and sampling local produce served in authentic country pubs are just some of the best things to do here.
2. Berowra Waters, New South Wales
Just an hour away from Sydney, Berowra offers you an out of this world beauty you’ll feel like you transported to another planet. Beautifully situated on the Hawkesbury River, you’ll be rewarded with dreamy views of the Kurin Gai National Park and the best way to take in the beauty of the surroundings is by boat. Explore the interconnected waterways by cruising or just enjoy your holiday home with a cold drink in one hand.
3. Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Queensland
Expert travelers know that Queensland’s best-kept places are inland. Just over an hour away from Brisbane is the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, which is dotted with charming villages like Maleny, Montville, and Yandina with the stunning Glasshouse Mountains on the backdrop. Here you’ll find boutique cheese shops, local breweries, and the calorie-burning walk to Kondallia Falls.
4. Maria Island, Tasmania
Located off the southeast coast of Tasmania, Maria Island is nothing but spectacular. This former whaling station is now a wildlife conservatory that is home to waddling wombats, curious kangaroos, and the regal Cape Bareen geese. There’s no available accommodation on the island, which makes it perfect for adventurers. You will need to bring your camping gear, but the reward is magnificent scenery and absolute tranquility you’ll never find elsewhere.
