Great Ocean Road - I'd never travelled along it, and dh organised it, so fun. Was really good to have the first few nights planned, and then kind of just stay where we wanted. Because it was in the same country, it was really nice and relaxing, and we could just focus on each other and not worry about being at a certain place at a certain time.
Everyone's different, but I reckon overseas would have stressed us out.
We were a student and apprentice at the time, so a costly honeymoon would have been out anyway.
We eloped to Broome last August. Best. Honeymoon. Ever.
Total honeymoon and wedding (including travel from Melbourne and accommodation) was less than $6000. Weather was stunning. Totally relaxing, totally beautiful, totally secluded. The accommodation was a B&B self-contained luxury 'tent' just outside Broome, at Coconut Well. Sooooo fantastic. It might be less than twelve months ago, but we still talk about it, and everyone who hears about it is impressed and totally jealous.
Btw, I didn't leave it up to DH to plan. He had wanted to go to Cape Trib in Qld, which was our second choice after Broome.
We went to Venice! I know that sounds exotic and expensive, but we got married in Belgium (DH's home country), and we got flights for 1 euro to Venice, so that was the clincher for us! It was low season, middle of winter, and it was perfect. We stayed in a dodgy hotel on the canal, but loved every minute of it. I found out when we got home that we were 8 weeks pregnant, and I'm glad I didn't know that at the time cause I ate so much bad food and drank soooo much wine. Ooops. It was a great honeymoon.
Persephone, we really wanted to go to Broome, but we got married at the start of April, and everyone said that it wasn't a good time to go, we should wait until May. I didn't want to push the wedding back, was trying to avoid cold weather, so we decided to leave the wedding date as it was and go to southern WA instead. Don't regret it one little bit, but I have said to DH that we're going to have our 10th anniversary a bit late, and go to Broome
We went to Noosaville and it was so perfect!
I gave DH the job of planning the honeymoon as his wedding present to me. I had no idea about any of it until we arrived, it was a total surprise.
We got married in January so it was hot. He just asked me very simply what I want to do most on our honeymoon and I said that I wanted to relax somewhere with a nice pool...well, the resort was perfect! And we did a bit of sight seeing as well, went to Australia Zoo and enjoyed the lovely eateries.
We didnt have a honeymoon been married 9 years now....young, new parents, we couldn't afford to, nor for DH to have time off work. We are talking about doing a trip overseas in the next few years, so maybe that will be our honeymoon (with children along for the ride)
