Choose your perfect getaway

Home to some of the country’s best venues, Brisbane is a must-visit for date night. It’s in Brisbane City, Fortitude Valley and West End you’ll find a cluster of Queensland’s best restaurants, including dining precinct Howard Smith Wharves on the river’s edge. Southern sibling the Gold Coast is just as tempting - try Burleigh for a cluster of breezy beachside eateries with feel-good factor. 

Celebrate paddock-to-plate as you wander together through the produce markets and food festivals scattered across Queensland. Or trawl the rolling hills of Southern Queensland Country, where crisp country air, romantic cottages, and an abundance of seasonal produce (award-winning wine included) will greet you.  

 Explore the Sunshine State by foot – after all, bushwalks are a Queensland specialty. Adventurous couples can reconnect amongst the state’s natural beauty via its network of bushwalking tracks; meander Gondwana Rainforest in Lamington National Park in the Scenic Rim, see Tropical North Queensland on the five-day Thorsborne Trail or explore the Sunshine Coast’s Cooloola Great Walk, among others. 

The Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast are famed for their golden sandy stretches. Though we’re not short of an island, either. It’s up north the bulk sit; a favourite for a romantic weekend, the Whitsundays collection, including Hamilton, Hayman and Daydream, are popular. Or spoil that special someone closer to the capital - Moreton Island and Stradbroke Island are big on both beauty and convenience.
