'Queenstown, you took my breath away' Emily wrote in her caption alongside the series of photos.
Jono and Emily went public with their romance at the launch of Bellevue Woolloomooloo restaurant in Sydney in May.
The couple made their red carpet debut at the glitzy event, cuddling up for photos and packing on the PDA.
Emily, 29, stunned in a semi sheer white top which she paired with a cream mini skirt which clung to her figure.
The Love Triangle star carried a designer clutch in a soft off white tone and completed her look with heels that matched the purse.
She added a chunky gold watch but otherwise skipped the accessories to let her outfit do the talking.
Jono got the memo and chose complimentary tones of white in shirt and jeans, completing his look with sneakers.
The trainer officially moved on from his fashion designer ex Nilofar Khirzad.
Jono was earlier was spotted enjoying a romantic night out with Emily at the Sydney Opera House.
In a moody black-and-white clip filmed during their outing, the couple looked completely smitten as they paused on a grand staircase under dramatic lighting.
The pair have reportedly been dating for several months and are taking things 'very slowly'.
Sources close to the couple say Jono and Emily bonded over their shared passion for fitness and adventure, and are often seen working out together.
While the couple have kept their relationship relatively low-key until now, insiders claim they are 'absolutely smitten' and looking forward to spending even more time together.
Jono's new romance comes after he was previously linked to Perth-based fashion designer Nilofar Khirzad, following his high-profile split from Simone Holtznagel.
He and Simone dated for almost two years after meeting through Sydney's social scene and share a daughter Gia, one, together.
The trainer, who owns the Acero fitness brand, remains one of Australia's most in-demand celebrity trainers, having worked with the likes of Rebel Wilson, Rita Ora and Michael Clarke.
Castano abruptly ended his relationship with designer Nilofar in January after less than six months of dating.
'They've been over for weeks,' an inside told Daily Mail Australia at the time. 'Their relationship just ran its course.'
Emily meanwhile rose to fame on Stan's hit dating series Love Triangle, where she was initially matched with Sam Fisher.
Their relationship quickly soured after it was revealed that Sam had been secretly communicating with an ex-girlfriend named Hannah during filming, leading to a dramatic fallout on the show.
Emily later spoke out about the betrayal, stating, 'The lies were so detailed, you couldn't even write this.

EXCLUSIVE Love Island couple SPLIT four months after reconciling on All Stars series following 'weeks of arguments'
Love Island couple Ronnie Vint and Harriett Blackmore have split for a second time, MailOnline can reveal. The couple, who reconciled on the All Stars series earlier this year, have ended their four-month romance following 'two weeks of constant arguments.' Ronnie, 28, and Harriett, 25, met on Love Island last summer but struggled to make their relationship work outside of the villa. It wasn't until Harriett surprised Ronnie as a bombshell arrival on All Stars in January that the couple reconnected, hoping to commit to each other for the long term. But after fiery rows in Ibiza, which have seen the pair unfollow each other on Instagram, they have called it quits, just months after failing to make the All Stars final. A source told MailOnline: 'It's true that Ronnie and Harriett have ended their romance, they have tried to make it work but the arguments between them made it difficult.'

New Zealand MPs who performed haka in parliament given record suspensions
New Zealand legislators have voted to enact record parliamentary suspensions for three MPs who performed a Māori haka to protest against a controversial proposed law. Hana-Rāwhiti Maipi-Clarke received a seven-day ban and the leaders of her political party, Te Pāti Māori (the Māori party), Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and Rawiri Waititi, were barred for 21 days. Three days had previously been the longest ban for a New Zealand MP. The Te Pāti Māori MPs performed the haka, a chanting dance of challenge, last November to oppose a widely unpopular bill, now defeated, that they said would reverse Indigenous rights. The protest drew global headlines and ignited months of fraught debate among lawmakers about what the consequences should be and whether New Zealand's parliament valued Māori culture or felt threatened by it. A committee of the lawmakers' peers in April recommended the lengthy punishments in a report that said they were not being punished for the haka itself, but for striding across the floor of the debating chamber towards their opponents while they did it. Maipi-Clarke rejected that on Thursday, citing other instances where legislators had left their seats and approached their opponents without sanction. It had been expected that the suspensions would be approved, because government parties have more seats in parliament than the opposition and had the necessary votes to affirm them. But the punishment was so severe that parliament speaker, Gerry Brownlee, in April ordered a free-ranging debate among lawmakers and urged them to attempt to reach a consensus on what repercussions were appropriate. No such accord was reached Thursday. During hours of at times emotional speeches, government lawmakers rejected opposition proposals for lighter sanctions. There were suggestions that opposition lawmakers might extend the debate for days or even longer through filibuster-style speeches, but with the outcome already certain and no one's mind changed, all lawmakers agreed that the debate should end.

Farmer Wants A Wife reunion set to deliver explosive bombshells: Who ends up together and everything you need to know
It's the romance show known for its slow-burn love stories and genuine connections - but this year's season of Farmer Wants A Wife has taken a dramatic turn. While past seasons have ended with heartwarming updates and countryside lovebirds riding off into the sunset, this year's reunion promises fireworks, behind-the-scenes truths, and a few very awkward catch-ups. In a major spoiler for fans, Daily Mail Australia can reveal that Farmer Jack ends up choosing Sarah – and the couple are already making big plans for their future. An insider close to production spills: 'Jack and Sarah were inseparable by the end. She's planning to move down to Tasmania to live on his farm full time. They're the real deal.' While their romance flew under the radar for much of the season, sources say their chemistry became undeniable behind the scenes. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'There was a maturity and calmness to their connection that producers loved – and viewers will see that in the finale,' another insider adds. Unlike MAFS, the FWAW reunion will only feature the couples who made it to the end together. According to an insider who spoke to Chattr, 'I believe the girls who ended up with the farmer were the only ones invited.' This includes: Farmer Thomas and Clarette, Farmer Tom and Georgie, Farmer Jarrad and Chloe and Farmer Jack and Sarah. Clarette and Thomas, despite some major mid-season hiccups and walkouts, have reportedly patched things up and are still very much together. 'It was rocky, especially after the whole honesty box disaster, but Thomas realised Clarette was the one,' a production source told Daily Mail Australia. 'They've been trying to make long-distance work and are discussing next steps.' While viewers are expected to see Farmer Corey choose Keeley in the finale, Daily Mail Australia can confirm the pair didn't last long after filming wrapped. 'It's come from a couple of girls that Corey picks Keeley,' former winner Daisy told Chattr. 'But someone says he's now single… I never know if people are leading me down the garden path or not with their messages.' A production insider backs this up, telling Daily Mail Australia: 'They gave it a go, but Corey really struggled once filming ended. He wasn't ready for a relationship and things quickly fell apart.' The reunion - hosted by returning favourite Natalie Gruzlewski - won't just be a cosy catch-up. While it will centre on the successful couples, expect more raw honesty and awkward admissions than ever before. 'I heard it was just the successful couples talking about whether they've moved or plan to move. Everyone was together at that stage as far as I've been told,' one insider told Chattr. However, Daily Mail Australia can reveal that producers are planning to include some of the biggest behind-the-scenes dramas in the special - including what really happened on Tom's farm. 'Producers were lovely, Tom wasn't,' a cast member told Chattr. 'He kept saying he didn't want to lead anyone on, but led everyone on except Georgie. It was clear as day.' An insider added: 'There were tears, there were walkouts. This wasn't your usual Farmer reunion – it felt more like a MAFS wrap party with pitchforks.'
