Australia, New Zealand & the South Pacific - Starwood Triple Points promo - suggested qualifying hotels/deals?

I gather you've seen the promo at www.SPG.com/triplepoints. I'm wondering:
- what bookings would/would not qualify (PL/Hotwire 'no', but all direct bookings OK?)
- aside from the SYD hotels, where else in Au/NZ would I find a suitably romantic (post-honeymoon) venue for a birthday surprise for my Mrs?
- are extra-special rates for W hotels in this part of the world in December, given the promo runs Nov 28- Dec 21?

Alternatively I might just look for a local equivalent of the 'W Heavenly Bed' for our place :D

The Melbourne Westin has very romantic corner suites with fabulous bathrooms (jacuzzi tub, separate shower big enough for 2, etc.). And at least 10 bay windows, including in the bathroom. Plus high quality furnishings and bed linen ... there is an excellent hair dresser a block from the hotel (concierge can arrange), maybe the best in Australia, and spa services. Melbourne doesn't have a reputation for being romantic, but it is.
