As Valentine’s Day falls on a public holiday this year, Airbnb has shared its top picks for romantic getaways – from luxury lakeside spas to cottages in the rugged, rolling mountains.

Couples living locally or travelling from afar are investing in quality time this long weekend.

Airbnb Australia and New Zealand country manager Susan Wheeldon said the accommodation platform had seen high demand from soulmates looking to indulge.

“It’s great to see Tasmanians embracing their own backyard supporting hosts right around the

state,” Ms Wheeldon said.

“We are seeing a lot of interest in properties in regional Tasmania especially.

Ms Wheeldon encouraged more couples to get out and support “mum and dad” Airbnb hosts through the pandemic.

“Airbnb hosts go out of their way to provide really unique experiences that showcase

Tasmania, and these listings are perfect for a weekend away with that special someone.”

Here are seven intimate stays Airbnb has picked for special occasions.

Eagles Nest II

Perhaps one of the only things nicer that soaking in a spa is doing so right next to breathtaking Mount Roland.

This luxury private spa property in West Kentish also comes with massage, a chef, yoga, high tea and other add-ons for ultimate relaxation.

Up to six guests can stay, with three king bedrooms available.

Eagles Nest II boasts a number of spas both indoor and out, along with open fires to cosy up by and outdoor and bamboo showers.

Couples who love the outdoors can take on Mount Roland together.

The five-star property is available for $800 a night.

Slow Beam

There’s a reason Slow Beam was chosen as Airbnb’s best designed stay of 2021.

The spacious structure in the hills of West Hobart marries retro bursts of colour with slick modern architecture, all minutes away from the city overlooking the River Derwent.

Slow Beam is a two-storey home for two, for people who appreciate elegance and contemporary aesthetic.

The Airbnb is $526.43 per night.

Felons Corner by Van Diemen Rise

Couples looking to get swept away by dramatic landscapes and elemental forest can come to Felons Corner; a cabin on the edge of thick, shadowy forest.

With exposed timber beams and luxurious dark interiors, this stay encourages relaxation by the fireplace, in the outdoor tub or on top of plush sheep skins.

Fields and mountains surround the secluded property.

The Sheffield retreat has two bedrooms for up to four guests at $429.57 per night.

Ariel Cottage

A countryside gem in the Mersey Valley fuses earthy splendour with chalet charm.

Guests at Ariel Cottage can retire in the vibrant, warm wooden living room beside a comfy fireplace after spending a day in gorgeous farming fields, or on the deck by the dam.

It’s quaint, traditional architecture with a fresh, homely feel, optimal for two guests at $350 a night.

Thalia Haven

Hidden away on stunning seaside acreage sits an East Coast haven with its own exclusive beach.

Thalia Haven is a short drive from Hobart, but it’s completely off the grid.

It’s sustainability meets luxury, with ancient stone bedrooms wrapped around courtyards by Great Oyster Bay.

The space has four king beds, and one single bed, with access for up to eight guests at a time.

Thalia Haven also has scenic outdoor baths perfect for capturing romantic sunsets.

The Airbnb is $1100 a night.

The Keep

For the ultimate romantic grandeur, this two-guest stay in the North East is fitted with a spacious stone outdoor bath.

The Keep has panoramic views of rolling wilderness at Gould’s Country, and is perched high in the hills.

This bespoke accommodation stands as a stoic structure from the outside, but inside guests can find all the necessary creature comforts.

The two-guest accommodation is available for $966.43 per night.

Blue Magnolia

Heritage sandstone and reclusive solitude awaits in a “secret location” at Hobart.

The 1840s cottage Blue Magnolia is flooded with natural light and enlivened by modern architecture and pops of colour.

Couples can look straight up through the glass bathroom ceiling to the sky and enjoy total privacy in this two-guest location.

Blue Magnolia goes for $320 a night.
