Girlfriend's Birthday

[xALmoN]

Yeah, once again, suggest places to go visit, with awesome scenery, good dinners and stuff. I can even take a flight to Sydney or Brisbane for her birthday. The whole cook for the girlfriend at home with candlelight and all doesn't work anymore since i cook for her all the time, dinner at home isn't special anymore, i've run out of things to cook anyway.

Suggestions! I have a budget of say, $500 to burn on this celebration. Not inclusive of airfare if needed, that can be extra. Sigh, i'm asking because i've only been here for like 3 months, so i'm still fairly unfamiliar with the place. This whole thing will take place on the 14th and 15th of November, so i've got time to get things sorted.

What about Mount Dandenong? There's a restaurant there called Skyhigh, I was gonna take my girlfriend there for her birthday.

But now I'm taking her out for dinner down in Mornington Peninsula, then I booked a private mineral bath down in Rye (Peninsula Hot Springs), then gonna take her down to Rye beach and spend some time there

Mornington Peninsula is nice, I've rented a house there for a couple of nights this Easter and last Easter break. Beaches there are nice, good views from the holiday houses, and as Charles said the Hot Springs are a good place to go.

ask her ? but in a sneaky way.... heard this guy do it on the radio ...

tell her you have a day booked for you two, and then get her to write down her guess's and what you have planned just to see how close she is.

then use those idea's and make a day of it .... birthdays and xmas are no longer a head ache!

cause obviously she is writing down what she likes and wants.....

What happens if she writes down the same thing everytime? lol

Then birthdays and xmas just becomes a routine

Brekky from the B&B you stay at....

RACV site lists heaps... budget 450ish for two nights, you want a self contained cottage with spa and log fire.

If needed I can suggest accommodation too

I recently spent a night at Mills cottage in como cottages olinda

We had a fantastic time. Spa, open fire. Ultimate romantic place.

Went up to sky high for dinner. Will cost you about $260 a night on fridays/saturdays or $195 during the week.

Highly recommended

Loll

anyway back on topic..,i thought skyhigh was pretty good wen i took the lady there, for 500 bucks i'd say do a full day thing and take her to a few places,,and enjoy the drives in between ,,but yeh its the spending time together part thats important, so jus try goin to places where theres a lot to do

have fun,chief

I just did peninsula hot springs with my girlfriend. Massage and bath and then had lunch at Rye. Hot springs massage and bathe is like 125 each peak season.

[adznight]

Burwood K-mart. It's open 24 hours. You could buy her a DVD while you're there.

Good man. Springs are HOT! haha. I couldn't stay in the 42-44deg pool for long. 36-38deg was sweet.

Massage is ok too.

[xALmoN]

Thanks for all the suggestions guys!

I'm leaning more towards the mornington peninsula ideas, and i'll work on that. And its also nice to know that the burwood k-mart is 24hrs, victoria needs to have more 24hr places.

[llama_au]

Chirnside Park K-Mart is also open 24 hours now

now the local hoons got some place to buy oil and coolant for their holden and they do their burnouts and overheat them
