Getaways in Melbourne
Romantic Getaways from Melbourne
Some proposals are a moment; the best can be a whole weekend. A romantic getaway from Melbourne folds the question into an escape, so the celebration starts the second they say yes. We connect you with planners who weave the proposal, the styling and the stay into one seamless trip to the regions just outside the city.
What's included
What you can expect
Melbourne is ringed by some of the most romantic country in Australia, all within an easy drive: the Yarra Valley's vineyards, the Mornington Peninsula's beaches and hot springs, the cool forest of the Dandenong Ranges and the wild Great Ocean Road. A getaway proposal pairs the right spot with accommodation and dining so the moment flows into a celebration. We match you with planners and vendors who arrange the proposal styling and tie the whole escape together, while you simply enjoy it.
- A proposal location and a getaway region chosen together
- Styling at the proposal spot
- Accommodation and dining suggestions to suit the occasion

FAQ
Romantic Getaways from Melbourne: questions answered
A proposal woven into a weekend away, with the proposal spot, the styling, the accommodation and the dining planned together so the celebration begins the moment they say yes and carries through the trip.
The Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula for wine country and beaches, the Dandenong Ranges for a cosy forest retreat, and the Great Ocean Road for a dramatic coastal escape. All are within about an hour or two of the city.
Allow a little more time than a single-moment proposal, since accommodation and venues for popular weekends book ahead. A few weeks is comfortable; longer if you want a specific date or a sought-after stay.
