Read on for our pick of the most romantic getaways in Canberra and surrounding regions.
Cupitt’s Estate
This family-run, sustainable winery is an epicurean gem boasting an award-winning restaurant, cellar door, craft brewery, and now beautiful boutique accommodation.
Surrounded by green hills and countryside, Cupitt’s Estate has 10 luxurious sleeper pods designed with couples in mind. Private and self-contained, each features a king bedroom with a separate living space, stunningly appointed bathrooms (complete with native botanical-infused skin & haircare), and a dreamy deck.
Experience the vineyards from sunrise to sunset, venturing out as you please to dine at the restaurant and fromagerie or sample a flight of their finest beer and wine.
But you'd be forgiven for wanting to snuggle up indoors, these pretty pods will steal you and your special someone's heart at first glance. Dial up the romance and book the Deluxe King Bath Pod which as the name suggests, comes with a freestanding outdoor bathtub. Bliss.
58 Washburton Road, Ulladulla
Cubby & Co
Leave all devices at home and head to the gorgeous cubbies in Mount Majura Vineyard. The cubbies are surrounded by vines (hello, romance) and are super private, quiet and beautiful. Choose between the bell tents, 'Edgar' and 'Frank’ or the tiny home ‘Dinny’.
All three are luxurious, with linen bedding, furniture and homewares from local and regional businesses, and beds as soft as clouds. Enjoy a bottle of wine under the stars, breakfast in bed, and indulge in the serenity.
88 Lime Kiln Road Majura, ACT
Mona Farm
Mona Farm boasts seven historic guest houses, each with a distinct charm and swathe of little luxuries. Here you'll find beautiful gardens and a wildflower meadow for idyllic strolls, indoor and outdoor contemporary artworks and sculptures, farm tours and historic buildings that tell a rich story about Braidwood’s past.
For a romantic weekend away like nothing you've experienced before, opt for Mona's signature 'Stay, Wine and Dine' package. Enjoy a seasonal grazing board on arrival, a three-course dinner, a complimentary mini-bar and breakfast daily.
You'll also have the opportunity to browse Mona's extensive collection of contemporary art, partake in a farm tour or enjoy a fly-fishing lesson.
140 Little River Road, Braidwood
Bannisters by the Sea
To experience the real wow factor, head to Mollymook and stay at Bannisters by the Sea. This boutique resort is about a two-hour and forty-five-minute drive from Canberra and sits on a clifftop with 360 views of the stunning Pacific Ocean.
The rooms themselves are nestled within pure comfort. The Luxury Suites offer views over the infinity pool and ocean and you can select a divine Roman bath, a gas fireplace for those cold winter nights, or a wrap-around deck to enjoy the sun.
Upgrade your stay to a Terrace Suite or one of the designer Penthouses. Bannisters by the Sea is famous for its Rick Stein seafood restaurant - perfect for a romantic dinner for two.
During the day, indulge in a cocktail from the Bannisters Pool Bar and if you want to unwind even further, book a treatment at their clifftop Spa by the Sea.
191 Mitchell Parade, Mollymook Beach NSW
Jamala Wildlife Lodge
For a unique experience that doesn't require a road trip out of town, head to Jamala Wildlife Lodge – an epic safari lodge in the middle of Canberra Zoo. The stunning rooms allow you to slumber with your love on one side, and to the other, some of the zoo’s animals, with big glass windows that look directly into their enclosures.
We love the Giraffe Treehouses, which get you up close and personal with the resident giraffes and even let you hand-feed them.
National Zoo & Aquarium, 999 Lady Denman Drive, Canberra City
Kimo Estate
Whisk your loved one away to a luxurious eco hut for a few days and bunker down together. Kimo Estate is close to Gundagai (or a 2-hour drive from Canberra), and houses cosy cottages and minimalist eco huts architecturally designed to take advantage of the elements – the sun, the wind and the rain.
The huts sit high on the hilltop and offer sweeping views of the gorgeous Murrumbidgee River flats. The best feature? They have hot tubs so you can soak away under the stars – bliss!
1218 Nangus Rd, Nangus NSW
