Mr & Mrs Smith, the witty website whose raison d’etre is finding you the perfect place for a romantic getaway, this month releases its first local guidebook.
The membership-based service uses an army of cool “tastemakers” – everyone from Stella McCartney and Roland Mouret to Sydney restaurateur Christine Manfield – to anonymously test potential Smith inclusions. Mr & Mrs Smith Australia/New Zealand, $45, is a roundup of the 30 properties to make the grade since the Smiths hit the Australian scene earlier this year. Expect incisive advice on the best rooms, activities “worth getting out of bed for” and a great rate on a romantic rendezvous, if booked through the Mr & Mrs Smith site.
