Australia’s top 10 hotels for a romantic getaway: from intimate boudoirs to adults-only island getaways.
If you’re looking to getaway with your loved one, consider these romantic hotels:
1. QT, SYDNEY
It’s unconventional, fun and has a bit of burlesque thrown in to warm things up. The rooms feature reddish floor-length drapes, fur throws, large baths and open plan duo shower heads.
The mini bar comes with all the ingredients for a hot night in: condoms and DIY martini sets. Internet and the movie channel are free (even those special movies).
QT’s other properties in Canberra, Port Douglas, Falls Creek and the Gold Coast.
2. THE HENRY JONES ART HOTEL, HOBART
Located on Hobart’s historic waterfront, The Henry Jones offers first class accommodation. Exotic silk covers envelop the king beds and the rooms feature translucent glass bathrooms with duo shower heads.
One of the best rooms in the house is the H Jones Suite with its sok overflowing bath by Kohler – an ultra-deep air bath designed with a continuous cascading overflow and champagne-like bubbles.
3. PAPERBARK CAMP, JERVIS BAY, NSW
It’s the perfect mix of romance with a little camping danger throw in (you might see a snake).
For the ultimate romantic camping experience try the King Deluxe tent with a free standing bath and outdoor bush shower.
When the sun goes down, light the candles and you’ll find yourself canoodling among the gum trees.
4. LONGITUDE 131, ULURU, NT
No doubt Prince William and Kate Middleton enjoyed an unforgettable romantic night recently under the stars at this luxe resort.
Tents come with wall-length windows offering uninterrupted views of the north side of Uluru, draped canvas roofs evoking thoughts of Arabian Nights, as well as the typical five-star hotel comforts of luxurious bedding and spotless bathrooms.
5. HUSKI LUXURY ACCOMMODATION, FALLS CREEK, VIC
Hot toddies, snow, Alpine air, hot tub on the balcony, what more do you need for a romantic getaway? This property is located in the heart of Falls Creek Village and features 14 self-contained apartments. These range in size from studio apartments to a four bedroom split-level penthouse that sleeps 10.
6. EL QUESTRO, WA
It’s wild, rugged and there are cowboys out there.
Over one million acres in size, El Questro is located in WA’s untamed Kimberley region.
The property’s three new Cliff Side Retreats at the Homestead are situated at the edge of a sheer escarpment, overlooking the spectacular wilderness.
From the luxurious feather topped king beds that face sliding glass walls you have uninterrupted views of the Chamberlain River. There are baths on the verandah and garden rain showers surrounded by stone walls that provide complete privacy.
7. CAPELLA LODGE, LORD HOWE ISLAND, NSW
Luxurious is the best word to describe this island retreat, which comes complete with huge beds, gorgeous soft furnishings and an adults only bar.
But what really makes it sexy is the rainshower, luxe daybed, outdoor freestanding Lotus bath and private plunge pool.
8. QUALIA, HAMILTON ISLAND, QLD
Pronounced kwah-lee-ah which in Latin means “a collection of deeper sensory experiences”, this five-star luxury resort is perched on Hamilton Island’s northern-most tip.
Qualia’s sexiness is in its seclusion and tranquility including private sun decks with breathtaking views of the Coral Sea, sumptious food and luxurious pavilions.
9. RAE’S ON WATEGOS, BYRON BAY, NSW
Nowhere says sexy like the beach, and nothing is sexier that your own private Moroccan-meets-Med suite with unobstructed views of the sea.
Opt for the Ocean View Penthouse with its marble fireplace, large Balinese four poster bed and private access to the pool and garden.
10. BEDARRA ISLAND RESORT, QLD
Bedarra is a tropical, adults-only haven.
Try the Point villa, which is secluded, isolated and has jaw-dropping views over Hernandia Bay. The large outdoor deck features a private plunge pool, daybed, sunlounge and an outdoor shower.
Thought this would be a great list but it is in fact rather impractical , and for me totally useless. BMag is a brisbane based news magazine so while I don’t mind some distant destinations I would prefer they be within a few hours and preferably somewhere that doesnt involve the entire budget! I don’t mind paying for a fancy destination but to add specialist airfares and launch fares to get there … overdoing it – these become vacations not romantic getaways. There are lots of places around from the Gold – the Sunshine coast . Within minutes I found the website beautiful accomodation which had 4 destinations that were a short drive away, Take a break website had so many categories and great stay locations from romantic getaways, adult retreat and unique and unusual that could be searched by area that I was hooked. Found a wonderful place here , The Mouses House, at only 300 a night with extra luxury gataway package for only $140 Full Breakfast Basket for two person, Bottle Sparkling wine Block Lindt Chocolate and 1 hour Swedish in-chalet Body Massage for 2 ppl. Will be celebrating our anniversary in style hopefully. This is what people need to read not somewhere that takes longer to get there than the stay and costs the earth.
I find it pretty difficult to agree with you, the clue is in the title of the article, ‘Top 10 Romantic hotel rooms in AUSTRALIA’. I find it hard to believe that this article can be misleading with a title which clearly states it is covering areas around Australia. It is the reader’s choice to then continue reading the article or not depending on whether they are looking for something close to home or around Australia…it was your choice to read the article after you read the title. It is quite clear what the article will be about and no surprise that there are destinations all over Australia.
I don’t see why that just because BMag is a Brisbane based magazine that it should limit itself to stories and news items from just around Brisbane. That’s a very narrow minded train of thought. Whilst we might sometimes prefer to stay close to home due to finances and other commitments, it is always good to know what else is out there in our country. I thought it was a well written article and has given me ideas for other places I can visit around Australia.
