The romantic getaway experts at Beautiful Accommodation love talking romance – they live for it. So here they have collated a few of their favourite getaways, only hours from Melbourne. Pop open a bottle of champagne and plan out the next trip away for just the two of you.
Phillip Island
Down at sea level, a romantic weekend away at Phillip Island may lead you to Rhyll Haven. Drawing on its beachside setting with beautifully designed outdoor spaces that guide you into the warm and inviting home, Rhyll Haven is only a few minutes walk from the ocean, so it’s a must for couples who want to feel the sand between their toes.
Mornington Peninsula
There is a view of Port Phillip Bay that you can’t get anywhere else and it is at Arthurs Superb Views. Only an hour south of Melbourne, you will not get bored of waking up together to uninterrupted views of Port Phillip Bay.
On the other, wilder side of the peninsula sits Big Blue Backyard: nestled amidst the iconic coastal Moonah trees that soften the sounds of the crashing waves beyond, relax together in the outside spa and sample some of the region’s famous wines.
High Country
Far away from the sea, a romantic weekend away in Victoria’s high country is a must for any couple.
The Buckland encapsulates the four things you could ever want for a retreat: beautiful interiors that open up via wall-length windows onto the view of an apricot sun setting behind Victoria’s highest peaks.
Equally stunning are the deep, earthy tones that coat the design of The Kilns. Situated right in the heart of the alpine ranges, a romantic walk through the fields is best complemented by the pot-belly fire which is surrounded by panoramic views on three sides.
Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges
A romantic weekend away in the Macedon Ranges will probably lead you to the sleepy, picturesque town of Daylesford. Interlude is situated a few minutes from the centre of town and is perfect for those couples that err towards more modern and sleek accommodation. The views are spectacular, but made all the more special from the outside spa.
A little more understated, and with a rich history embedded into its walls, The Old Schoolhouse at Rochford Lodge dates back to 1875 and has been expertly restored with modern touches throughout. Lock yourselves away for the trip or venture out and explore the food and culture throughout the Macedon region.
Victoria has so many hidden nooks and crannies that promise the most romantic of holiday escapes. Have a peek at our large collection of Victorian accommodation options, which grows each and every month.
