This infamous stop along the Southeast Queensland Coast is ideal for those couples looking for a little slice of paradise. Located nearly perfectly in the middle of the East Coast Car Rentals branch in Cairns and Port Douglas, Palm Cove is only a 30 minute drive to the helicopter or ocean cruises of the Great Barrier Reef.

Hidden away on the coastline, the small slow-paced town of Palm Cove combines a kick-back and relax vibe with high-end luxury accommodation.

Daylesford, VIC

Melbourne City or The Great Ocean Road typically tend to take most of the hype when it comes to visiting the state of Victoria. Daylesford is only an hour and half drive from our East Coast Car Rentals Melbourne Airport branch, making it an easy destination to visit when you need a little R&R and time away from the everyday hustle and bustle of Melbourne.

But what makes this place so romantic? Well, nearly everything! Daylesford is the heart of Australian spa country. Home to the most concentrated geothermal activity throughout the country, the Daylesford springs are a haven that is nestled away in the Victorian countryside. Home to some of the finest Eastern European inspired resorts in Australia, visiting Victoria’s spa country is something that can often be overlooked, but shouldn’t be forgotten on Valentine’s Day, or any other day!
