Is there an activity more romantic than hot air ballooning? I don’t think so! And the Avon Valley is the perfect spot for a hot air balloon experience with its stunning landscapes. Think rolling hills, winding rivers and patchwork fields – bliss.

I recommend this Avon Valley Hot Air Ballooning Experience because it has glowing reviews from over 99% of guests and the guides are super knowledgeable and friendly. It sets off at sunrise so you get to witness golden rays illuminating the valley while you float, followed by a post-flight breakfast. It’s a super special and memorable way to set the tone for the day ahead.

It departs from Northam or there’s an option to add a transfer from Perth if you don’t mind a super early start.

Itinerary Ideas:

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly romantic getaway, a romantic camping trip in Collie is for you! I recommend Staying at Honeymoon Pool Campground located in Wellington National Park. It’s in the name – the area served as a base camp for training during WWII and soldiers found couples would camp here on their honeymoons! 

It’s a medium-sized campground surrounded by lush Jarrah forest, right on the Collie River. Just be aware that this spot fills up quickly and can get a little rowdy during peak times like school holidays. You need to bring your own drinking water and book well in advance, so plan ahead.

Top Tips to Plan the Best Perth Romantic Weekend Getaway

Here are some top tips to help you plan a memorable Perth weekend getaway for your special person. 

Choose the Right Location

Whether you prefer the beach, the hills, or a hidden retreat, picking the perfect location sets the tone for your getaway. Consider places that offer a mix of relaxation, scenery, and activities you’ll both enjoy. 

Book Early

Perth’s most romantic spots and activities can fill up quickly, especially on weekends and school holidays. To avoid disappointment, book your accommodation, dinner reservations, and any activities well in advance.

Plan Surprise Elements

Add a special touch to your weekend by organising surprise experiences for your special someone. Think about booking a private dinner, reserving a spa treatment, joining a special tour, creating a DIY picnic basket or grazing board to make the trip even more memorable.

If you’re planning a special occasion like an anniversary or honeymoon, call the hotel to request surprises like champagne on arrival, flowers in the room, rose petals on the bed or similar room touches.

Plan Unique Experiences

Make your getaway extra special by adding something unique. A private couples’ massage, a hot air balloon ride, or a sunset cruise can create lasting memories. 

Plan Some Downtime

It’s super tempting to fill your itinerary with fun activities, but make sure you leave room for quiet moments. Whether it’s lounging by the pool, watching the sunset, soaking in a spa, downtime is key to relaxing together. 

Consider the Season

Tailor your plans to the season. In summer, take advantage of Perth’s stunning beaches, while in winter, cosy up by the fire at a hillside retreat.
