“From island resorts, heritage hotels to secluded country boltholes, the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice awards highlights the best accommodation Australia has to offer. These winners are recognised for remarkable service, value and quality and offer great hotel inspiration to travellers looking to plan their 2018 getaways on TripAdvisor,” said Grant Colquhoun, TripAdvisor spokesperson.

Take a look at these stunning hotels and glowing traveller reviews. Once you’re finished here, expand your search to overseas honeymoon hotspots with the Top 10 Travellers’ Choice Hotels in the World.

According to TripAdvisor reviewers, Pinetrees Lodge offers “a perfect balance of activity, relaxation, sophistication and amazing food”.
