If you’re planning a romantic getaway in Queensland that doesn’t involve islands, scorching temperatures, and sand following you back to your cosy cabin, then you might want to consider the Sunshine Coast.
It’s not often Caz and I get away alone and reconnect as a couple, so when we go for a romantic getaway, we like to make the most of it and pack lots of romantic activities into our days.
Whether you’re looking for walks in nature, long lunches, wine tastings, views of majestic mountain peaks, massages, spa baths, or just places to enjoy uninterrupted conversations and serenity, you’ll find plenty of romantic things to do on the Sunshine Coast.
