Guest Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 We've just had to consider the exact same question, we didn't want to travel far as we could only have one night and ended up going to an amazing boutique hotel in Perth but at $580 a night probably not what you're looking for. My OH actually wanted to go to a resort near Margaret River, there are a few to choose from. My preference was an eco resort where you had an outside spa and food to feed the roos, possums etc, it just wasn't worth travelling though. Karri Valley resort was the answer I got from a women at work when I asked if her OH wanted to take her away where would she go & it does look nice. Try and get hold of a copy of Scoop Western Australia Traveller, it is full of places just perfect for a romantic break. If you can't this might help... Western Australia - Scoop Traveller Depending on whether you'd travel in Indonesia I am sure you would get a very good deal in Bali at the moment, I've never been but I believe outside of the 18-30 resorts it is chilled an beautiful and 5 days would be long enough to make it worth going. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracy123 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Try the airport information desk for cheap hotels. In Melbourne and Sydney they do big reductions on hotel stays (all hotels) not sure about perth but if your not far away it maybe worth a drive just to find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calNgary Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 It will probably be a bit far for you for a short break, but if you ever get over this way check out this place in the Gold Coast Hinterland,,, Springbrook accommodation Gold Coast Australia - Main Page We have been a few times and it is a beautiful area,reasonably priced and so private ,, great for an adult weekend.

Obviously dont want to spend the earth, but would be keen on suggestions?? Hi, in March this year we took a 5 day break to Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays. We stayed at The Beach Club. It wasn't cheap, but it had an infinity pool, fair size rooms, excellent service and the building is only two levels so was very quiet. The island is a size that you can walk just about anywhere although the Beach Club gives you chauffeur driven golf buggies. Just ring them from anywhere on the island and they pick you up. We are at the other end of the age spectrum, but was a romantic package for our 36th wedding anniversary! Enjoy wherever you end up.............

Guest shannonwebb Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Hi! I know a great website to recommend in case you were looking for a cozy and fancy accommodation. It's called Splendia and they offer a very wide choice of luxury hotels and boutique hotels, virtually everywhere on the globe. I booked two hotels via their site, in France and in Spain, both excellent quality and good price! Hope you have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest adamsnee Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 to my mind, there is nothing more romantic than visiting the Sydney Opera house. it is one of the most beautiful and most impressing buildings and inside it, you feel like you are in heaven, because the environment is just magical and beautiful and immaculate.

Guest hazelandmathew Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 If you have the money, then a panoramic plane ride over heart reef and the whitsunday islands is amazing. We blew our budget when here on a holiday a few years ago but I dont regret that for a second. You could stay on the mainland at Airlie beach which may be cheaper than Hamilton island etc. Also virgin blue and qantas have got a great sale on at the minute. Hope this helps H:wubclub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ozzierock Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Maz's in the Gold Coast Hinterland Qld. Gorgeous little cottages. Beautiful surroundings. We went for an anniversary a few years ago. My husband organised for them to pack us a picnic, then a horse and carriage turned up. We went on a short tour around the beautiful countryside then stopped at a lovely little park and ate our pinic and drank some champers while the guy and the horse stood a descrete distance away and waited for us to finish before we retuned to the cottage. Lots of great restaurants nearby, as well as antique and curiosity shops. The gold coast beaches are about half an hour away too.

Guest TeamTalbot Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Like a few others on here I can totally recommend Daydream Island or Hamilton Island in The Whitsundays for a romantic break. There is nothing quite like sipping cocktails whilst lounging in an infinity pool overlooking a palm-fringed beach. If the islands are a bit too expensive then you could find somewhere in Airlie Beach or Shingley Beach. I've been lucky enough to be living here since July and I never get tired of the views. It may be a little wet come the end of January, but I know there are great accomodation deals to be had if you are willing to haggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
