Making beautiful music: Brand new Bachelor Australia Blake Garvey takes romance to a new level as he treats his date to a beachside serenade by an orchestra

The newest Bachelor Australia, Blake Garvey, is setting a high standard for grand gestures on the reality dating show-  treating a potential love interest to a serenade by a stunning string orchestra.

The Perth-born auctioneer certainly hit the all the right notes when he flew his first date to the Sydney's Palm Beach by helicopter as filming got underway for the Channel Ten show.

And his efforts at wooing the pretty single appeared to pay off, judging by the pair's smiling faces as they strolled across the sand hand-in-hand together on Monday.

The towering singleton, who stands at almost two metres, is on a mission to find true romance amongst the show's 24 keen bacholerette contendors.

Over the next few weeks, the half African-American fitness enthusiast will wine and dine the contestants as they compete for his attention.

Blake's appeal was a winner from the start, with impressed Bachelor Australia producers earmarking him during early casting, with one saying he 'instantly set the level' for entrants.

And it seems he is living up to expectations, arranging an impressive first date complete with helicopter ride, champagne picnic and the private string orchestra to boot.

His efforts seem to have paid off, with the couple seen gazing lovingly into each other's eyes as they enjoyed a picnic on the sands and chatted animatedly in the Sydney sunshine.

Afterwards they enjoyed an idyllic stroll, hand-in-hand, and an intimate embrace.

Meanwhile his employer Actons have revealed even more about the handsome auctioneer, who gets his broad looks from his dad - a former American football player.

'Spend some time with him and you'll be impressed with his passion and energy and his exceptional communication skills,' a colleague said.

Apart from selling houses, Blake has also worked as a radio announcer and a voice-over for commercials, theatre, as a Master of Ceremonies, a lecturer and trainer.

The Perth-based hunk has spent some time working as a topless waiter, and has also worked with Perth event and modelling company Crazy Sexy Cool in the past.

Last year he picked up the best male model award at their annual Kitten Awards in 2013.
