Are you dreaming of a relaxed getaway with your significant other? Maybe you’re wanting to wine and dine in the world-class Barossa Valley, or perhaps an exploration of Tasmania’s East Coast sounds more appealing? From Western Australia’s Great Southwest Edge, the quaint and luxurious Sunshine Coast Hinterland, and the tropical Great Barrier Reef Drive, the opportunities are near endless when it comes to road trips for couples in Australia.
Hire a car with VroomVroomVroom and start exploring the magic that is Australia with your loved one.
From Perth to Esperance, the Great Southwest Edge like its name states, follows the south west coastline of Western Australia. Known as one of the most stunning road trips in Australia, this amazing getaway makes for an idyllic beachy 11-day adventure and is the epitome of a perfect couples road trip.
Check out the insta-worthy beaches: From Greenspool, a mint green tropical and natural pool in William Bay National Park to Lucky Bay, a white sand beach that is home to countless kangaroos, you’ll see why Australia is famous for its coastlines. Other must-see beaches include The Gap and Sugarloaf Rock.
You’ll also be able to see Lake Hillier, a bright pink lake that is situated right by the coastline of Esperance. For the ultimate couples experience, take a helicopter ride to see this picturesque view from above.
National parks are aplenty and are a perfect adventure to go on with your partner. Top contenders include Torndirrup National Park (you’ll find The Gap here), Fitzgerald River National Park and Cape Le Grand National Park.
