Breakfast with the locals in the Barossa Valley
Forget lazing around all morning in bed. Early starts can just get alluring at least in South Australia’s Barossa Valley where there is one very good reason to set the alarm.

Wildlife encounters cannot get more memorable than this! Breakfast with the kangaroos is available to guests staying at The Louise, the Barossa’s premium boutique accommodation.
Cool Change in Tasmania
Frosty mornings and cosy fires can be just as romantic as the tropics, and this cool-climate luxury can be found in Tasmania. The island is rich in scenic spots, but few are as lovely as forest-fringed Lake St Clair, carved out by glaciers. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, it is a great place to grab a canoe and a thermos of hot chocolate, and drift along without a care. Pumphouse Point offers luxury accommodation in a unique lakeside setting.
Find a Private Beach in Queensland
Every couple needs a stretch of sand to call their own. Fortunately Queensland has thousands of beaches to choose from, so one can always find a deserted spot to go strolling hand in hand.
