Brisbane and Beyond
Brisbane has so much to offer couples looking for a weekend getaway, short break or honeymoon! The nearby Gold and Sunshine Coasts are well known but recently, regions such as Toowoomba and the Darling Downs, the Scenic Rim, Moreton Bay islands, and beautiful Brisbane Valley have become very popular, with visitors choosing to indulge in day-trips, or even spread their time throughout these diverse and colourful regions with a few nights in each.
Areas such as the Scenic Rim, Stanthorpe and even Mt Cotton are (surprise!) becoming known for their wines, while Toowoomba will delight you with its gorgeous gardens and parks, and heritage style buildings. Not far from Brisbane is Mt Glorious, quite possibly one of Brisbane's best kept secrets, and only a 45 minute drive from down town Brisbane. The mountain atmosphere makes the area a serene alternative for couples wanting to experience the best of both worlds.
If a city break is more your style, then a short break in Brisbane is likely to be full of great weather and exciting events with the opportunity to immerse in the city's fabulous cultural scene. As Queensland's vibrant capital city, Brisbane offers the very best in food, wine, arts, entertainment and major sporting events with a warm, friendly charm and relaxed sub-tropical flair .
There's also great shopping, with the vibrant CBD, South Bank and Fortitude Valley retail precincts offering an exciting melting pot of the very best local, national and international labels, brands and speciality stores. The heart of Brisbane, Queen Street Mall, is lined with a colourful mix of heritage facades, historic arcades and modern shopping galleries with the extra pizzazz of bold new architecture and pavement cafes.
Enjoy the excitement of cultural Brisbane when the mood strikes, or immerse in the rainforest surrounds of Mt Glorious and Brisbane Valley when you want to take things a bit slower.... it's all here waiting to be enjoyed!
