I have to start out by saying this isn't for me, as my version of a romantic weekend away would be to the drag strip or a car show.... :
Anyway my brother-in-law is looking for a romantic weekend getaway to take my sister to for her birthday and he's asked me (of all people) to help find somewhere nice. Now he would like it within 2 hours of Bendigo, and a hotel with a spa. That's all i've been told. Of course he doesn't want to spend thousands of dollars. So probably less than $800. Any suggestions on some nice places around Victoria, that might be worth having a look at for him??? Cheers Melz

Try google searching bed and breakfasts, a lot of them are secluded and let you have an entire house to yourself with spa, pool, outdoor entertainment/bbq area and generally if they are on a property or out of town/city they'll have horses/bikes/trails for you to use at your own pleasure with qualified instructors.
I looked at something like this for me and my girfriend for our 2yrs anniversary and it came to be around $500 for two nights (off-peak holiday season though)

I've been googling for the past 1hr, thought it might be worth a try in here, to see if anyone knew some good places

There are some nice bed and breakfasts. I looked at one for $300ish with fireplace and spa in room, 4 1/2 stars, looked very nice. Edit: I would also suggest checking out where you are staying before booking, I do this all the time and it has saved me many times from very bad, expensive places. (Especially in Sydney 5 star hotels)

mmm Two hours from Bendigo... Limits it somewhat...
Hepburn Springs, there are some fantastic places there, that are not that expensive and she can indulge in a relaxation treatment. If you google Hepburn Springs you should be right.
