The stunning coastal areas, natural harbours and mesmerising wildlife make Australia one of the most fantastic honeymoon destinations that thrill the love-struck couples with its grace and beauty. Here are some amazing tips for you to plan a memorable honeymoon in Australia that you'd cherish for a lifetime.

Pick a date

Australia's location in the Southern Hemisphere has given it a climate that highly contrasts with that of North America. The summer hits through December to March and the cool temperatures arrive with the winter from June through August. Depending on which climate and landscapes you prefer for your honeymoon, you can opt for the season that suits you best. The winter in Australia hardly deserves that label with its pleasant blend of warm and chilly weather, thus making it an ideal time to enjoy a beach holiday or to hike and explore the outdoors. For low airfare rates and hotel charges, you can schedule your honeymoon during these months.

Plan how to get there

Australia lies quite far from countries such as the USA that it requires a minimum 14-hour direct flight to travel from one country to the other. The two most popular airports in Australia are Sydney and the Melbourne airports that have abundant options with many direct flights that come over from different parts of Australia. Domestic flights are probably the most convenient way of traversing through the Australian landscape as the country offers so much that cannot be covered by travelling through other means. However, a maze of well-maintained roads interconnects with each other all over the country, which makes Australia perfect for that Hollywood-like road trip. Also, the railway system of the country offers joyful rides by offering the most scenic views of the Australian landscape creating love in the air atmosphere to the journey.

Plan your lodgings

Australia offers an array of dwellings out of which you can select the most perfect lodgings to relax with your other half. From Sydney's premier hotels offering unrivalled views of the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge and desert basecamps situated near the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Australia has marvellous places that make perfect escapes for honeymoon couples. You can also expect to find luxury lodgings and some of the best hotels in Wellington the likes of Oaks Wellington Hotel that offer the ultimate luxury of living in an apartment, suite, or hotel room with fantastic vistas of the city.

Things to do

Many people yearn for great road trips, and Australia offers you the best of them. The country's Great Ocean Road is the ideal place for that highly-sought road trip that offers enthralling coastal views, charming beachside villages, and a mélange of thriving wildlife that inhabit the Southwest of Victoria. Rent a car in Melbourne and kick off the road trip while you still have over one hour's journey to reach this road's official starting point. Another thing you should do in your honeymoon is to explore the Great Barrier Reef, which is a sparkling gem of Australia as it pulsates with its 1430-mile coral reef system, which is considered the largest in the world. You can down around this splendid creation of nature with your loved one for an ethereal experience. You can even book a catamaran cruise for that much-needed swoosh of adrenaline. What better way to celebrate your love for each other than embarking on a journey across the country via a legendary train trip. Transcending beyond your ordinary train ride, Australia offers upscale train journeys that are more like a cruise on wheels. Your honeymoon wouldn't feel complete if you don't spend at least one day on a beach in Australia. You can people-watch in Bondi Beach or snap that trending picture on Instagram in front of the colourful bathing boxes of the Brighton Beach.
