Feel like spoiling your loved one with a special Valentine’s Day Romantic Getaway? If you’re a man who is out to impress, nothing works better than making the effort, together with a little planning to show you care. Take it beyond the petrol station flowers and sad chocolates from the supermarket and think about quality time with your partner. So, be organised and plan ahead but we’ve done the hard work for you and here’s our roundup of the most romantic experiences:
What could be more Australian than a summer beach holiday? While many may have fond memories of hot cars, long drives & eye spy back then it was much about the journey as the destination. Now, architect designed homes & designer furnishings reign supreme as you shake off the sand from a days beach adventure and retire to your designer digs.
THE LOOK 8Hotels has waved their magic, stylish wand over what must have been an old Roadhouse motel. The retro digs have received a makeover and with a sprawling layout, you’ll soon find your hipster hideaway. The lobby has stylish, designer furnishings & smells divine with a welcoming scent on arrival.
THE SCENE Just a tram ride away from the CBD, you’re in the heart of coastal cool & eclectic St Kilda. Spoilt for choice, the hotel has partnered with local restaurants Amigos, phamish food & wine bar, Rococo, Fringe and Big Mouth to offer 10-15% for guests with vouchers available at reception. Although it’s hard to go past legendary Ciccolina’s and Stokehouse or pick up dessert from one of Acland Street’s finest. Designer stores and cafes are also part of the mix as well as St Kilda Sea Baths, Luna Park or stroll the Esplanade markets on Sundays.
Group Getaways are the perfect tonic for unwinding and spending quality time with friends or family. If you’re always the organiser, finding the perfect group accommodation can be a time consuming and frustrating process.
