Subscribe Romantic Getaways in Victoria: Stunning Stays You’ll Fall in Love With
For a weekend getaway that will set your hearts aflutter, dial up the romance with these romantic getaways in Victoria, for two.
When romance calls, Victoria answers in style. From vine-draped country estates to coastal hideaways where the horizon melts into the sea, this state is sprinkled with places that feel tailor-made for two. Each stay offers its own brand of magic — crackling fires to linger beside, breakfasts lingering well past noon, and sunsets that make you forget the rest of the world exists.
Just a short drive from (or directly in) Melbourne, these escapes promise to wrap you in warmth, beauty and that heart-fluttering sense of connection. Whether it’s an anniversary, honeymoon, or a stolen weekend, Victoria’s most romantic stays set the scene for love.
The Weekend Retreat That Redefined ‘Datecation’ Forever…
Royal Mail Hotel’s Mount Sturgeon Cottages
In the shadow of the Grampians, Royal Mail Hotel and the nearby Mount Sturgeon Cottages offer a romantic escape that sweeps you off your feet. The restored 1840s bluestone cottages are havens of intimacy — king-sized beds, wood-burning fireplaces, and the new onsite sauna and spa make every stay effortlessly indulgent. Step outside, and curious emus might wander to your door, pecking politely as the sun casts a golden glow across the rolling farmland.
Drive back to the Royal Mail’s central hub and prepare for a meal that feels almost alchemical. At Wickens, dining becomes an art form. Each seasonal tasting menu is a loving homage to the hotel’s 1.2-hectare organic kitchen garden, and every plate is a meditation on flavour and care. Then the dessert arrives — so exquisitely layered, so achingly beautiful, it moved our Melbourne editor to tears. Brimming with local and international treasures, the wine cellar elevates every sip into a moment of reverent pleasure, with French drops given particular attention. Trust us when we say, you need to book this experience at least once — it is fine dining at its absolute finest.
Meanwhile, Parker Street Project offers a more casual, but no less iconic, experience. The herb and garlic Parker loaf, served with aged cheddar and Vegemite butter, hits with a punch so precise you’ll want seconds — it’s comfort, flavour, and joy on a plate.
From chef-led kitchen garden tours to wildlife and vineyard experiences, every moment here is designed to enchant. Hand in hand, wander the grounds, savour each bite, toast the sunsets, and let the Grampians’ natural beauty work its magic. At Royal Mail Hotel and Mount Sturgeon Cottages, romance unfolds in layers — in food, wine, wildlife, and the gentle hush of a countryside that feels made for two.

The Buckland Studios
It doesn’t get more romantic than sharing a bath in front of a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking a forest.

Walk by the paddocks and watch cows gently graze, and be sure to wave hello to Finley and Fergus, the Buckland’s two friendly Highland Cows.
These studios are the perfect opportunity to do a whole lot of…nothing. And it’s absolutely blissful. Treat yourself to the optional grazing board and Prosecco while you draw a luxurious bath and spend the night sipping wine and feeding each other local cheeses, dips and fruit. Rinse off in the stunning His and Hers showers in the middle of the bathroom, one of the many thoughtful touches making this one of the most romantic getaways we’ve ever stumbled across.
Awaiting you the next morning is a generous breakfast hamper containing bread, eggs, bacon, granola, yoghurt and seasonal fruit; everything you could possibly need to make a hearty breakfast during your stay.
