Sofitel on the Gold Coast<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

Broadbeach, QLD<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Gold Coast might be renowned for its party atmosphere, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not also perfect for loved-up couples \u2013 especially if you\u2019re staying at the Sofitel<\/a>. With its glamorous French influences and Art de Vivre stylings, a trip to this luxe hotel can make you feel like you\u2019re experiencing all the romantic charm of Paris itself.<\/p>\n

Peppers Salt Resort and Spa<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

Kingscliff, NSW<\/strong><\/p>\n

Technically Peppers Salt Resort and Spa<\/a> is in Northern NSW, but it\u2019s just a 90-minute drive from Brisbane and so unbelievably worth the journey.
