Romantic Short Breaks in Brisbane with Oaks Hotels & Resorts are on the Rise

Brisbane is the ideal spot for a romantic short break, whether you're a local or a visitor, take two or three days to discover just how many things there are to do in the city and start by choosing any one Oaks Hotels & Resorts premier hotels in the CBD, Fortitude Valley and Bowen Hills to unwind and relax and create some memories.

Highly recommended for couples wanting to celebrate an anniversary or just for something different to do together, is a morning's flight with Hot Air Balloon Brisbane. Door to door transfers available daily from your choice of Oaks Felix and iStay River City as well as Oaks Aurora and Oaks Casino Towers or Oaks Festival Towers; take you west for a romantic sunrise hot air balloon flight, floating over Brisbane's Scenic Rim.

Make time for lots of selfies together in your balloon's wicker basket or ask the balloon crew to take your photo cuddling up and capture the moment, with a background of some spectacular scenery, wide open blue skies and their fleet of colourful hot air balloons, this absolutely makes for a breath-taking start to the day.

Come down to earth, then there's a delicious breakfast at the Vineyard, choose a private table on the verandah overlooking the gardens or inside the historic homestead. There's bubbles to toast your very first ever hot air balloon ride and after breakfast, stroll over to the Vineyard's central room for some wine tasting.

There's free Wi-Fi onboard your transfer back to your Brisbane Oaks Hotels & Resorts’ property in the city and time to post those memories on your social media. Choose an in-flight hot air balloon photo to show family and friends, taken just that morning by remote control from your balloon basket, with views of the panorama from Brisbane city stretching to Tamborine Mountain.

Then follow your morning's hot air balloon ride, with a lazy day, taking advantage of your Oaks Hotels & Resorts’ range of guest facilities, from sparkling swimming pools to heated lap pools, well-equipped gymnasiums, spas, saunas, sun loungers or even enjoy a lunchtime outdoor barbeque, maybe an afternoon nap, spot of shopping or explore around the corner for the newest bar, for sunset cocktails.

Couples enjoying a romantic break in Brisbane city, know that combining a stay at a city Oaks Hotels & Resort with an experience they've always wanted to do one day, like a Brisbane hot air balloon ride and Vineyard Champagne Breakfast, are on a winner, this is definitely a short stay that will make a wonderful memory for a very long time.
