1. Stay in the Love Cabins

This Blue Mountains accommodation doesn’t get much better than staying in a treehouse at the Love Cabins. They have seven different types of accommodation that’s hidden away from the rest of the world so you can really get away from it all.
Love Cabins also offer a romance package which includes roses, chocolates and champagne for $280 a night. This would be a great option to impress for a romantic weekend away from Sydney.

2. Go horse riding in the Megalong Valley
Megalong Valley
Fancy horseriding in Blue Mountains? And horseriding in the Megalong Valley? And high tea for lunch? Sounds like the perfect romantic day out in Blue Mountains to us!
Centennial Glen Stables offers an awesome horseriding package from 10am-4pm which starts at the Kanimbla Valley and ends at the Megalong Valley with a stop off at the Megalong Valley tea rooms for lunch.
We love the idea of doing something different and being able to surround yourself right in the heart of the Blue Mountains with an experience of horse riding.
Horse riding with Centennial Glen Stables costs $225 pp but you’ll need to pay for lunch separately.
3. Watch the sunset at Lincoln’s Rock
Wentworth Falls
Both times we’ve been to Lincoln’s Rock we’ve seen loads of couples having professional photographs being taken. It’s a great spot to watch the sunset and you can get some awesome photos on the ledge above.

Mount Victoria
Forget the big cinemas and come to a family owned local cinema in Mount Victoria which was built in 1934. Mount Vic Flicks gives you a taster of the Australian country picture theatre culture and offers up homemade choc tops, hot soup and more.
If you’ve not been to a community cinema before, Mount Vic Flicks will certainly get you hooked! It’s just a 17 minute drive from Katoomba to get there.
5. Go for drinks at Aunty Ed’s in Katoomba
Katoomba
Aunty Ed’s is a relatively new retro themed restaurant in Blue Mountains that you’ll want to make sure you head over to. They specialise in burgers but it’s their drinks and live music on the weekends that you really want to go there for. Make sure you try out the Hot Cider, it’s absolutely amazing!
6. Go for a swim at Minnehaha Falls
Katoomba
Although Minnehaha Waterfall is currently closed until further notice due to the stability of the rocks, keep an eye on it here for when it reopens. At the moment you’ll get fined if you’re caught attempting to go here.
But when Minnehaha reopens, it would be the perfect romantic swimming spot when visiting Blue Mountains in Summer.
7. Spend the day at a Blue Mountains spa
Katoomba
If all you want to do is spend the day relaxing in Blue Mountains, we don’t think there’s a better way to do it than at Lilianfels Resort & Spa right in the heart of Katoomba.
Lilianfels Resort & Spa is known as the only 5 star resort in the Blue Mountains and would make the perfect romantic retreat from Sydney. There are plenty of packages to choose from starting at around $350 a night.
If you want to just visit the day spa in Blue Mountains, there are plenty of packages to choose from starting at $250 such as; the Volcanic Stone Ritual, the Gentlemen’s Oasis and the Outer Beauty Inner Health Retreat.

8. Hike to Hanging Rock
Blackheath
One of the best walks in Blue Mountains is the hike to Hanging Rock and Baltzer Lookout. It’s an easy one hour hike which brings you out to one of the best lookout points in the Blue Mountains. Bring a picnic with you to make it extra romantic 🙂

Megalong Valley
Fancy going for a high tea that doesn’t break the bank? Welcome to Megalong Tearooms, a great little tearooms that’s famous for their homemade scones and knockout views. Afternoon Tea starts from just $17.50 per person which is great value. We also recommend ordering a slice of apple pie with whipped cream, looks incredible!

Blackheath
Blackheath Lookout must be one of the best lookout points in the whole of the Blue Mountains area. We recommend coming for sunset and if you’re lucky, you might see some para-gliders there too which makes for amazing photography and a great memory from this perfect romantic getaways Blue Mountains idea.
15. Go on a short hike at The Three Sisters

17. Hike down to the bottom of Wentworth Falls
Wentworth Falls
One of the best hikes in Blue Mountains has to be the hike down to the bottom of Wentworth Falls. It takes exactly 1 hour at slow walking pace to get to the very bottom of this track. There are a lot of steps to walk down but it’s a stunning walk and one you’ll be telling all your friends and family to go on.
If you’re visiting in Summer, take your swimmers and go for a romantic swim underneath the waterfall.

How amazing would it be to hire a gorgeous vintage car like this 1968 Jaguar aptly named Penelope for a spin with your loved one? We honestly couldn’t think of anything better!
