Leave your judgments of family holidays and schoolies behind, Gold Coast is one of the most romantic places to get away. Hop on a cruise, go out for a night of dancing, share a jet ski (or get your own), head to the drive-in or explore Lamington National Park.
There are so many great restaurants to choose from, and for accommodation be sure to check out Mermaid Waters Hotel by Nightcap Plus. It’s 1km from the beachfront and has a lovely swimming pool and tropical gardens. Go on, treat yourself to a spa room!
Busselton WA
Pristine beaches, wineries, delicious food - does it get more romantic than that? Head to Busselton for a romantic getaway that will make you feel a million miles from home. Whether it’s a picnic on the beach, wandering through Tuart Forest NP, spending a day in Margaret River or visiting the historical sites in Busso, there’s romance in every pocket of this region.
Spend a few days at Nightcap at Ship Inn. With self contained units, a refreshing swimming pool and friendly pub, you’ll feel right at home. Warning: you may never want to leave.
Yarra Valley VIC
Nightcap at York on Lilydale
At the gateway to the Yarra Valley lies Nightcap at York on Lilydale. The sprawling gardens, swimming pool and comfortable rooms, will make you feel relaxed right from the word “go”.
