If "music be the food of love", as Shakespeare suggested, then surely travel is the spice. A well planned trip is an opportunity to take your love to a new and romantic location, away from day to day concerns and the prying eyes of others. It can add variety and intimacy to a relationship, giving you and your significant other a chance to grow together. However, the right destination, and some thoughtful planning, are required to make your trip romantically successful. The suggestions below might get you on the right path.
Sunshine Coast Hinterland:
Heading for one of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland retreats can be a great way to get some quality time in together. If you are not familiar with the hinterlands, they are the cooler grounds up from the famous beaches of the Sunshine Coast. Nestled between the trees and farms are cottages and intimate hotels that make a perfect setting for romance.
Gold Coast Hinterland:
Continuing the hinterland theme, couples may also want to check out the Gold Coast Hinterlands. While the beaches draw hordes, the hinterlands are a chance to get back from the crowds. In fact, this often represents two romantic destinations in one—splash around one day at the beach, and then head for the hills to unwind together. But why wait for February? - the romance of this area is available at any time.
Hunter Valley:
More than 2.While the area is well placed to cater for the many tourists it accommodates each year, it is particularly suited to romantic travellers. Hunter Valley cottages are twee little nests you can use as a base while you explore the wineries scattered throughout the area. The romantic atmosphere can be enhanced by the more than one hundred wineries that offer cellar door tastings. Many of the Hunter Valley cottages also do Valentine's Day promotions, so check carefully for special deals.
Blue Mountains:
Not far from Sydney, this can be the perfect destination for locals on a tight schedule. National Parks cover much of the Blue Mountains, and many facilities offer environmentally aware experiences and best practice. The area is rich with colonial reminders of Australia's original European settlers. See the ancient flora and fauna, like the Wollemi Pine, for yourself before having to head back into the modern era for work.
Whitsunday Islands:
Crystal clear water and pure white sand beaches set the stage for the kinds of walking hand-in-hand on the beach that form the mainstay of most romantic destinations. The Whitsunday Islands are made from a coral base like the Great Barrier Reef, but over the years have grown forest vegetation and sport charming cabanas for you to stay in during your holiday. Sunrises over the ocean, a day of lounging on the sands, relaxing island dinners and sunsets on the beach make the Whitsunday Islands a place to turn even the most standoffish significant other into a cuddling softie.
