Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to mean roses, set menus and pretending you like crème brûlée. In Bundaberg, you can tailor the day to suit your kind of couple — romantic, adventurous, cozy, fun, or quietly wholesome.

Whether you’re planning a candlelit night under the stars, a mini escape, a hands-on experience, or something a little unexpected, there’s a date idea that your partner will really love.

Here’s how to spend February 14 doing something that feels like you, not just what everyone else is posting on Instagram.

 

Candlelit Orchard Vibes at Macadamias Australia

Ditch the cliché last minute pub reservation and head to Macadamias Australia’s Orchard Table. Picture this: a long candlelit table among the trees, home-grown macadamias in every bite, seasonal flavours, and the iV Vocal Quartet serenading you while you sip cocktails. It’s classy, cheeky, and limited seating means you actually get the table,  not stuck elbowing strangers. Grab your tickets fast before someone else steals your Valentine’s night.

 

 

Fancy Dinner Without the Fuss at Water St Kitchen

Still want to feel a bit swish? Water St Kitchen has a few tables left for Valentine’s Day. Think gourmet food, slick vibes, and zero washing up. Scrub up, this is the way to impress your partner.

 

 

Luxe Stays to Turn It Into a Mini Getaway

Penthouse vibes, ocean views, and enough room to roll around dramatically in bed (or just watch the sunset, whatever) C Resort Bargara is your perfect match!

Glamping tents right on the beach. Cosy under the stars, waves lapping, and maybe sip a cheeky local wine while listening to the ocean, insert Turtle Sands for your next escape.

 

 

Bushland Bliss at Bloodwood Cabin

Want to escape it all? Bonnie Doone’s Bloodwood Cabin in Monto is your spot. Earthy timber, sunken baths, espresso from local ceramics, all while listening to the bush do its thing. Simple, luxurious, and the kind of place you brag about to friends later.

 

Reef Adventures

Snorkel with tropical fish, spot turtles, and maybe high-five a manta ray with a day trip or overnight stay on Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort.

Sleeping over the reef is the kind of experience that makes couples go “wow” in unison. Overnight spots are limited, but Lady Musgrave Island HQ Pontoon offers one of the most memorable ways to do it

 

Wildlife to Melt Your Heart

Catch the little hatchlings racing to the ocean with the Mon Repos Turtle Encounter or overnights stay on Lady Musgrave Island and Lady Elliot Island. It’s adorable, memorable, and perfect for a moonlit couple’s selfie. Yes, that counts as a date activity.
Don’t miss the chance, book in at Mon Repos ASAP!

 

 

Get Close With Highlands

Let’s be honest, at some point, almost every girlfriend has said she wants a fluffy cow. Here’s your chance to actually deliver. Splitters Farm still has availability the day before Valentine’s Day for photo sessions with their much-loved Highland cows, making it a wholesome, memorable date idea with serious brownie points attached. And if spots fill fast, keep in mind the farm now releases Highland cow photo sessions monthly, so you can book ahead and still come out on top.

 

 

Foodie Fun

Grab a photo with the famous ginger beer and taste-test your way through nostalgia at the Bundaberg Brewed Drinks Barrel or make your own blend with a Bundaberg Rum BYOR Experience, take it home, and pretend you know what you’re doing.

 

Flowers and Last-Minute Touches
Don’t cheap out on supermarket flowers, show your person you love them by going the extra mile.

Grab some From Farm To Vase blooms, while the market is usually only on Friday, the crew is staying open on V Day itself! Don’t miss out.

Forgot your gift? Don’t panic, One Little Farm have got gorgeous bouquets that say “I thought of you” without the stress.
