Forget Me Not Cottages, Warburton

If you follow the Yarra River from Melbourne, you’ll find it eventually winds its way to the picturesque town of Warburton, with its series of wooden bridges that cross the river. It’s here that you’ll find the perfect romantic getaway – in an aptly named Forget Me Not Cottage – surrounded by dreamy four-poster beds and the echo of the forest. An outdoor spa is especially seductive, with a bottle of bubbly at dusk. And if that doesn’t get you in the mood, then it’s time to change partners.
