Whether you’ve always dreamed of a tropical beachside bungalow caressed by the lapping of turquoise waters or a secluded hideaway tucked up in the embrace of the world’s oldest rainforest; a romantic retreat nestled amongst the vines or a private cliff-top villa for two overlooking the ocean, Australia offers countless special places to stay for that most special of holidays.

Draw back the curtains to reveal picture postcard views of Sydney Harbour or wake up to the changing hues of sunrise over Uluru (Ayers Rock). Soak up the sun’s rays lazing on the deck of your private yacht in the Whitsundays or wallowing in your plunge pool overlooking the Coral Sea. And watch it slip beneath the horizon as you ride a camel along Broome’s endless golden sands at sunset.

As night falls, you may choose to dine like royalty at a table for two overlooking the twinkling city lights or under the outback’s canopy of twinkling southern stars. Snuggle up with a nightcap by the warm glow of the open fire in your cosy cabin in the mountains or dance the night away on the deck of a luxury cruise ship in the Kimberley.

Your days may be filled with supreme indulgence or whiled away just enjoying each other in the company of life’s simple pleasures – either way, romance awaits at every turn as the fairytale unfolds;

Float over the vineyards of the Yarra in a hot air balloon or drift off to sleep in a hammock rocked by the gentle tropical breezes. Enjoy a romantic night at the opera or be serenaded by nature’s birdsong from the comfort of your luxury bush camp. Share a bubbling hot tub on your private deck overlooking the Tasmanian wilderness or a massage for two in a tranquil treehouse in the heart of Australia’s spa country.

Take a seaplane to lunch at a waterside table surrounded by national park or a helicopter to picnic beside spectacular gorges in the outback. Enjoy a private midnight dip by candlelight in one of Sydney’s most exclusive city hotel pools or a morning swim in the azure seas stretching out in front of your intimate beachside pavilion.

Stroll arm in arm along the wild coastline of the Great Ocean Road, seduced by the mystical spell of the ocean or wander hand in hand along the quiet streets and colourful galleries of Australia’s proud heritage townships. Steal away to picnic on a private beach on the Barrier Reef, its white sands framed by tropical flowers and swaying palms or spread out on a rug enjoying a gourmet hamper for two in the graceful gardens of a country manor among the vines.

Australia’s collection of unforgettable experiences for two will send you home with a lifetime of treasured memories to share.

Note: a number of Australia’s finest properties are also available for exclusive hire and are well experienced in catering for intimate weddings for international visitors.
