For the best options, you should definitely start by checking out the areas of South Warth and Southbank that offer sweeping views of the Yarra River. But we also need to mention Victoria Harbour where you can find this hidden gem that offers a beautiful space with romantic scenery. And in case you’d like an out of town location that has fantastic views over the ocean, then make sure to look in Brighton and St Kilda.
