When it comes to romance, few places capture the magic quite like barranca in the Kangaroo Valley. Nestled amidst lush landscapes, barranca offers an intimate escape where your love can truly flourish. Here’s your dreamy itinerary for an unforgettable romantic getaway, with a few added touches to elevate your experience.
The romance kicks off the moment you hit the road. Start sweet with a pit stop at the iconic Berry Donut Van or Milkwood Bakery — because every great road trip deserves pastries. If you're passing through Bowral, Dirty Janes is a must for scoring a one-of-a-kind antique memento to remember your stay, or you can set the mood with a wine tasting at Centennial Vineyards. Before heading off, grab a bottle to sip by the fire and under the stars later on.
Once you arrive, the real magic unfolds. barranca features four private villas, each boasting scenic sweeping views and a serene romantic setting. Start your stay with a picnic by barranca’s private creek. Pat, the caretaker, will thoughtfully set up a blanket and a grazing hamper from Caterina KV, and even drive you there and back — allowing you to soak up every precious moment together. Don’t forget to pre-order your picnic hamper prior to your stay, to avoid missing out!
Nothing sparks romance quite like a dose of adventure. At barranca, you’ve got two must-visit swimming holes: Flat Rock and Under the Hampden Bridge. The bridge is home to a sturdy sandbank where you can kick back and a 70-metre natural pool — swing rope included. Prefer a slower pace? Flat Rock is the perfect spot to unwind. Take in the views, feel the creek wash over you, and savour a quiet moment together.
After your swim, slip into plush robes and slippers for a couples' massage, right in the comfort of your villa. Designed to melt away tension, this tailored treatment focuses on the back, neck, and shoulders, using warm organic coconut oil and hot towels for the ultimate relaxation. The perfect way to reset, reconnect, and recharge. Be sure to contact us once you’ve booked your stay to connect you with the Massage Therapist .
Grab that bottle from Centennial Vineyards, spark up the fire with the provided starter kit, and settle in for a night under the stars. With barranca nestled in its own private valley, far from city lights, you’ll get crystal-clear stargazing conditions — all you need to do is look up.
Leave no stone unturned and soar over the Kangaroo Valley with a scenic helicopter tour by Touchdown Helicopters. Expect breathtaking views and a core memory that’ll have you both reminiscing for years. Round off the day with another glass of fine wine and toast to an adventure well spent.
While the Kangaroo Valley sets the scene for a lush countryside escape, if a beachside retreat is more your love language, check out barranca’s coastal gem, The Hideaway at Callala in Jervis Bay here. Expect the same indulgence, just steps from the sand.
