Romantic Getaways in Australia

Uluru, Northern Territory 

Central Australia’s endless red desert might not leap to mind as an ideal place to spend romantic time together, but we assure you, when you first see the majestic sight of Uluru, you’ll understand why. There’s nothing quite like sitting back – together – with a glass of bubbles to watch Australia’s cultural heart slowly change colour as the sun sets and the stars emerge from the darkness. 

Barossa Valley, South Australia

Our style of romantic escape is usually towards the cheaper end of the spectrum but there’s nothing wrong with splashing out on a special occasion. The Barossa is Australia’s premier wine region for good reason. Spending the day driving around, tasting some of the area’s best wine and cheese, all before coming home to your own cottage just seems too good to be true. Throw in a good bottle of port and a classic rom-com and you’ve got yourself a night the two of you will remember forever. 

Kangaroo Island, South Australia

With its ridiculous variety of landscapes and activities, Kangaroo Island is the perfect spot to spend some time away with that special someone. It has world-class produce and wineries, pristine beaches and more wildlife than you could imagine. It’s the perfect size to be able to explore all day, but still be home in time for a night-in together. 

Wineglass Bay, Tasmania

What’s better than spending the day on one of the top 10 beaches in the world? Well, we’d say pitching a tent right on the sand and spending the afternoon watching the sun slowly set over the water with just you and your partner. Wineglass Bay is a slice of paradise, surrounded by towering granite mountains and lush forest. Being able to (legally!) camp right on the beach makes this spot perfect for an adventurous yet relaxing getaway.
