Featured Airbnb – Arrabella Tiny House, Kangaroo Valley
A Tiny House, With A Glasshouse Bathtub – Kangaroo Valley, NSW
Not only are tiny houses one of the most Grammable stays you could think of, but they’re also super cosy and romantic. This one is particularly fine. Think an outdoor fire pit for roasting marshies and a bathtub enclosed in its very own glass cube to help you connect with the natural surroundings (and your significant other). We’d summarise this place in one word: lush.
Relax Waterside At This Fisherman’s Cottage – Great Mackarel Beach, NSW
That water has us excited already. Pittwater’s Mackerel Beach is home to this original timber and sandstone Fisherman’s cottage that’s been lovingly restored on a secluded beach, surrounded by bush hideaway. Basically, it’s a couple’s retreat.
Stay In A Self-Contained Luxury Cottage In The Heart of Mudgee – Eurunderee, NSW
Just five minutes from the town centre, you’ll find Strikes 1 and 2, which are two stand-alone eco-friendly, architecturally designed self-contained luxury cottages. It’s worth clicking through just to see the views.
Sip Sundowners On A 1,000 Acre Farm Estate – Kangaroo Valley, NSW
How’s the serenity? Top notch, we’d say. Set on a winning combination of farm and native bush land, this luxurious contemporary cottage boasts a show-stopping view out to Kangaroo Valley’s escarpment, meaning the sunsets are second to none. What’s more, the interiors can’t be faulted, the fire pit is begging for your marshmallows and there’s no shortage of walks on the property – including one to a private rockpool.
Lounge In This Sanctuary Of A Villa – Byron Bay, NSW
Mexico? Bali? No, no, just beautiful Byron Bay. This cute little villa (or should we say loft?), is located above Byron Bay’s iconic Spell Store and is a little sanctuary featuring an inground private pool, outdoor shower and plenty of places to lounge.
Chill Out Naturally In Treetops Hideaway – Byron Bay, NSW
Pop open the complimentary Prosecco and soak in the surrounding views (all the way to the ocean). Perched high amongst the trees in 10 acres of private rainforest, this award-winning home offers peaceful luxury and oozes romance.
Bunker down in an architectural mansion over the ocean – Forresters Beach, NSW
So we’ve shared some quaint, and cosy options. But is spreading out more your style? If space if your thing – along with whale-watching from the comfort of a couch – this architect-designed contemporary home overlooking the ocean could be just the ticket.
Refresh and Relax at Wollybutts Luxe Cottage and Pool – Byron Bay, NSW
Sink into French linen sheets and munch on complimentary local produce for breakfast at this luxurious resort-style cottage, featuring a stunning valley-view backdrop.
A Private Beach Shack with Hamptons Styling – Dangar Island, NSW
Pet-friendly, check. Hot-tub, check. Private beach, check. Stunning waterfront views, chic Hamptons styling, checkity-check. You get the point. This newly built joint is found on Dangar Island, just one hour from Sydney and is seriously romantic.
Play out your farmhouse fantasies in the heart of a wine region – Mudgee, NSW
Tell us the idea of staying on your own private ranch doesn’t make things tingle. With nightly snuggles around the firepit, days spent skinny-dipping in the freshwater creek, and all the wineries you could possibly ever need right on your doorstep, this is a vacay we promise you won’t ever forget. Don’t get us started on the interior styling *drool*.
Bathe Under The Stars, Surrounded By Greenery – Bryon Bay, NSW
Grainy wood walls, leafy garden patio and alfresco soaking tub make up this gorgeous Byron Bay suite. I mean, would you just look at that bath? Plus, it’s just a few streets back from Byron Bay’s best beaches.
A Romantic Retreat With An Infinity Pool – Foxground, NSW
Dedicated to couples only, this stunning rural retreat overlooks rolling green pastures and magnificent ocean views (you’re getting the best of both worlds here). Plus, can we just take a long look at that pool and sunset combo? Heaven.
Stay In Eco-Friendly Country Huts – Gundagai, NSW
It’s no secret that Kimo Estate is one of our favourite places to honeymoon at (oh, and wed at too). You’ll find their pretty little huts nestled on a hill, featuring 360-degree views of the Murrumbidgee river flats. Our favourite part? You’re totally off-grid, and using solar power to provide light and water and you have total, utter privacy.
A Romantic and Cosy Orchard Escape – Blue Mountains, NSW
This hobby farm x apple orchard will provide you with the most unique and sort after farm stay experience possible. Stay in complete luxury, while soaking up your own private Blue Mountains views. Our favourite time to honeymoon here? Winter, with a glass of wine in hand. FYI, the property also hosts 10 boutique day weddings per year if you’re hunting for a venue.
An Architect-Designed Off-Grid Hut – Mudgee, NSW
Taking its cues from the humble lean-to, there’s nothing ordinary about this luxurious couples retreat. Set high on a hill of a private farm with panoramic regional views, it’s peaceful, private and just minutes away from Mudgee’s charming town centre, along with local wineries. We’ve got this on the must-do list.
