Romantic Escapes

Australia is full of iconic locations and dream romantic destinations.  Whether you are looking for your perfect honeymoon location or a long overdue escape that allows you to reconnect with one another, it pays to look beyond the ordinary and embark on a remarkable romantic adventure that takes you somewhere unexpected.

Located just over an hour from Melbourne in Victoria’s beautiful town of Daylesford, Lake House is a haven of tranquillity and calm.  Lakes, waterfalls, pristine bush and Australia's largest concentration of naturally occurring mineral springs surround this luxury lodge where you can achieve a true sense of relaxation while discovering new flavours in the best local food and wine.    The multi-award winning Lake House restaurant is a destination in itself and the ideal location for a romantic evening.  During the day, discover farmers markets, nearby bushwalks or activities on Lake Daylesford, take a cooking class in the famous Lake House Cooking School or make use of the state-of-the-art Salus Spa.

For the foodie couple with a sense of adventure, the unique Margaret River region of Western Australia is the perfect combination of activity and indulgence.  The region is famous both as a wine region; renowned for its production of exceptional Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, among others; and as a surfing destination, with over 135 kilometres of coastline and 75 surf breaks to choose from.  Spend your days surfing, hiking along the famous Cape to Cape track, visiting farmers markets, or visiting iconic Australian wineries and your evenings dining in some of Australia’s finest restaurants. 

Cape Lodge is perfectly positioned in the heart of Margaret River and combines sophistication and luxury with local country charm.  At the end of a day exploring, this is the perfect place to enjoy a candlelit dinner - the restaurant at Cape Lodge is recognised as one of Australia’s finest gourmet establishments - and exceptional accommodation with a variety of luxurious rooms and suites to choose from.  

For a romantic adventure that takes you off the beaten track, Silky Oaks Lodge and Healing Waters Spa is located in a stunning riverside location adjoining one of the oldest living rainforests, the World Heritage listed Daintree National Park in Far North Queensland.  Water-based activities such as canoeing, river snorkeling or paddling are offered daily as well as goanna spotting, biking, guided walks and early morning yoga classes.   This escape offers genuine immersion in tropical rainforest surrounds without forgoing any comfort.  Each day will end in the sanctuary of your luxury suite or treehouse.
