Faster than you can say “hey, baby,” we’ve rounded up 10 of our fave Aussie babymoon spots. Check them out!
1. Spicers Sangoma Retreat
Blue Mountains, NSW
Get ready for some serious pampering in the Blue Mountains, with daily non-alcoholic cocktails, blissful pregnancy massages (and other treatments for your partner or holiday buddy) and all meals included. It’s the perfect secluded spot for romance and it’s adults only (so you don’t have to practice your parent voice just yet 😉).
2. Lancemore Mansion Hotel Werribee Park
Werribee, VIC
Only 30 minutes from Melbourne CBD, Lancemore Mansion is a super luxe stay overlooking the animals at Werribee Open Range Zoo. The spa is amaaaazing – it has four pregnancy pamper packages and even specially designed beds to accommodate second and third trimester bumps. Make sure you try the high tea – the earl grey scones with pepper and strawberry jam are unreal. The indoor pool is pretty special too.
3. Barossa Pavilions
Lyndoch, SA
Looking for a self-contained stay and a chance to soak up the serenity? Look no further than Barossa Pavilions! With only six gorgeous luxury modern cabins spread across 75 glorious acres, you’ll feel like you have the whole estate to yourself. Each cabin has everything you need to relax: a spa, rainfall shower, cosy fireplace for winter, super soft sheets and Netflix. Architect buffs will also love the contemporary design – the property has even been featured on Grand Designs.
4. Beach Club
Whitsundays, QLD
A stress-free, tropical island, adults-only escape is waiting for you at Beach Club in the Whitsundays.

5. Chimes Spa Retreat
Denmark, WA
Nestled in the rolling Denmark Hills, set on former farmland, is Chimes Spa Retreat – 10 rooms of child-free bliss with a real home-away-from-home feel. The onsite spa offers prenatal massages, and each room has its own jacuzzi to sink into (and some plush robes and slippers too). The complimentary port each night goes down a treat as well (for the non-pregnant parent-to-be, of course). Make time for an arvo drink or nibbles on the main terrace. Talk about serenity!
6. Stewarts Bay Lodge
Port Arthur, TAS
Tassie babymooners – if you’re looking for a green getaway, then this one’s for you! Stewarts Bay Lodge’s cabins and chalets are stylish and charming. The ocean-view chalets are particularly lovely – your private balcony is just the spot for a morning coffee or al fresco brekkie. If you feel like getting out and about, give yourself a day to check out Port Arthur Historic Site.
7. Hotel Realm
Canberra, ACT
Hotel Realm is a cool five-star stay in the heart of Canberra. With its custom king-size beds, awesome on-site restaurants, cruisy 11am checkout and Buvette high tea, it’s the perfect spot for some parent-to-be indulgence. Definitely check out Mudd the Spa – it has both a pregnancy massage and a Mudd Mother-To-Be package for head-to-toe pampering 😌
8. Ramada Suites by Wyndham Zen Quarter Darwin
Darwin, NT
Want to get in some serious pool time before bub arrives? Then head to Ramada Suites by Wyndham Zen Quarter Darwin and its glorious 28-metre infinity pool (the longest pool in Darwin). Zen Quarter’s serviced apartments all come with fully equipped kitchens – perfect for babymooners with special dietary needs or who just prefer to prepare their own meals. But if you feel like taking a break, the onsite cafe – Horizen – does an awesome brekkie.
9. Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort
Noosa Heads, QLD
A short drive from Brisbane, Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort is made for glamorous beachside babymoons. Sip mocktails by the pool (or IN the pool thanks to the swim-up bar), unwind at the day spa or indulge in some high-end retail therapy on Hastings Street. Make sure you book a sunset cruise with Gondolas of Noosa too! They leave from the hotel jetty and you can BYO pregnancy-friendly drinks and snacks.
10. Milton Park Country House Hotel & Spa
Bowral, NSW
Want to spend your babymoon in a country manor that looks like something straight out of a Jane Austen novel? Milton Park Country House Hotel & Spa it is! You’ll love the regency-style decor, and the stunning garden is perfect for romantic strolls. The onsite spa offers three different pregnancy treatments, but our pick is the vanilla body bliss exfoliation – ‘cause who doesn’t love the smell of vanilla? And for afternoon high tea, you can’t go past the cucumber and dill sandwiches 🤤
