As Valentine's Day approaches, couples are planning romantic getaways to kindle their passion. From secluded beach picnics on Sydney Harbour to remote luxury lodges and houseboats for two, New South Wales (NSW) has an abundance of options for couples looking to spend quality time together. Destination NSW research shows adult couples make up nearly a third of all domestic short break visits annually. In Summer 2015-16, 33 per cent of domestic and international overnight short break visitors to Sydney were adult couples.

Destination NSW CEO Sandra Chipchase said “It's not surprising that NSW attracts so many romantics. Sydney and Regional NSW offer a broad range of accommodation, tours and experiences designed for couples seeking the perfect short break. Whatever your idea of a romantic getaway might be, there's a holiday to suit in NSW.”
