It’s a date: places to impress that special someone in the Scenic Rim

Built into the cliffs of Binna Burra and overlooking Lamington National Park, Happitat is the ultimate thrill-seeking date. What says ‘let’s take this to the next level’, like soaring 400m above the national park? We’re certain the world-first cliff-top adventure will take you there.

Get set for an adrenaline rush like no other with the Edge Park Pass and conquer all three ziplines before taking to the 100m Arete Via Ferrata climb, tackling suspension bridges, tightropes and climbing nets set to impress any date.

Who needs someone else to buy them flowers when you can pick and create your very own bouquet at Elderflower Farm? Find the flower field blooming with an array of heirloom plants, focusing on fragrance meaning your freshly picked and styled flowers will smell just as good as they look.

Keep in mind that while fresh flower workshops are held seasonally, you’ll still find floral inspired workshops during the off-season like dried flower workshops and wreath making.

Wander over to The Elderflower Farm Shop just beside the flower field for a bite to eat or pick out some flower seeds and start your flower growing journey at home.

Overlooking the sprawling Lamington National Park, Binna Burra Sky Lodges gifts a view so good you won’t even need to leave your bed. The eco-friendly apartments blend seamlessly into the valley, immersing you in nature with all the comforts of luxurious accommodation, including a spa, perfect for a long soak.

If you’re up for a drink or a date night, find Groom’s Cottage Bushwalker’s Bar just around the corner or head to Binna Burra Tea House just a short stroll away.

If you think watching the sunrise on the ground is romantic, let’s take that to the sky with Floating Images Hot Air Balloon Flights for the very best panoramic sunrise views. The Greater Brisbane Scenic Hot Air Balloon Flight Package is a crowd pleaser with a one-hour flight floating across the cityscape of Brisbane, Ipswich, Scenic Rim and the Somerset countryside followed by a delicious breakfast.

However, if you really want to woo your date, opting for the Exclusive Romantic Private Ballooning Experience consisting of a charter flight for two is likely to do the trick.

Combine pristine waterfront with rugged landscapes, Lake Moogerah is a great destination to pack your own lunch and throw down a picnic rug. Take in the views of Mt Greville and Mt Alford while you dine and fire up the barbeque on site for a delicious cook. There’s plenty of swimming areas so cool off with a refreshing dip in the afternoon. Not ready to call it a day? Pitch a tent and stay the night.

Vino lovers will find their match at O’Reilly’s Canungra Valley Vineyards, overlooking 8 acres of grapevines including Shiraz, Chambourcin and Verdelho. Sip, swirl and indulge in a delicious menu of cheeseboards, pizzas and burgers from the Vineyard Kitchen. Or, for something a little more sentimental pre-order a picnic hamper or a cook-your-own barbeque pack and wander the grounds before finding the perfect spot to throw down a rug for a private meal. We have it on good authority that settling beside the bubbling Canungra Creek may reward you with a glimpse of the elusive platypus and curious turtles.

Change gears and get set for an epic cycling adventure (and electric assistance) with Peddly Picnics in Tambourine Mountain. Their e-bike and picnic hamper package includes a tasty grazing box for two, a picnic rug, cushions and cutlery all included.

Hit the scenic trails and set your own pace while cruising through Tamborine Mountain’s rainforest in search of a secluded spot to set up and unwind in nature. If you’ve got a furry friend, check out the pooch friendly package that includes a dog carrier attachment for the e-bike so no one misses out on date day. Peddle power not for you? Ditch the bike and set off by foot with their picnic hamper only package.

Few things say I love you like a luxurious glamping weekend tucked under a sky of glistening stars by night and an ancient rainforest to explore by day. Find Nightfall’s glamping tents tucked within a relatively untouched pocket of forest of the World Heritage-listed Lamington National Park, just steps away from crystal-clear tumbling waters. Allowing only a limited amount of visitors at any one time, Nightfall’s safari-style tents encourage quiet relaxation without forgoing opulence with each stay fully-catered with fire-cooked organic food.

Not feeling relaxed enough? Book a massage, facial or yoga class within your tent or beside the bubbling creek or dial up the romance with private dining by the creek’s edge

For a date idea that’s likely to not be forgotten anytime soon, meet, greet and snap a selfie with adorably friendly camels at Summer Land Camels – Australia’s largest wild camel training centre and dairy operation.

Set off on a one-of-a-kind adventure with camel rides led by friendly cameleers. Explore the property on a trail ride, set off at sunset, or take a short introductory camel ride around the gardens.

Don’t stop the date there, make your way to the Homestead Café for a camel-inspired brunch menu including the must try Camel Milk gelato and Camelcino. Stop by the Farm Shop for camel milk products to try at home like the anti-ageing camel milk skincare range or the world’s first Camel Milk Vodka.

Switch the usual date night restaurant for a magical dining experience at Rainforest Restaurant and Lounge Bar nestled within the rainforest at Tamborine Mountain Glades. Serving up seasonal dishes using fresh local produce for breakfast, lunch and dinner they’ve got you covered from morning coffee to evening cocktails. Dine outside under the festoon lights for an immersive experience in Tamborine Mountain’s rainforest ambience.
