SHINE ON
Frock up and rock up to one of our glittering summer celebrations.
Smack bang in the middle of Surfers, The Island is prepped and ready to par-tay all summer long. And with long-weekends a-plenty, we’ve lined up a variety of decadent daytime extravaganzas and soirées under the stars for celebrating with the ones you love.

STAY SUN-KISSED AND CAREFREE
Find your happy place under blue skies, shady palms, or a gentle breeze at these relaxed hangouts.
Head to the Rooftop and settle under an umbrella for beachy vibes without the sandy bits, complete with tasty cheeseboard and cheeky craft cocktail. Feel the salty sea air and cool breezes at Goldie’s, with huge open windows connecting Surfers Boulevard for a leisurely lunch and people watching. Prefer to keep it chill? Find a quiet spot to curl up on a lounger to read or relax on the Pool Deck, with thirst-quenching walk-up bar at your fingertips.

GET YOUR THRILLS
Choose from our range of fun events and experiences, or host your own in one of our naturally beautiful spaces.
Slide into the weekend with a lunch time wood fired pizza, then stick around for cocktail time and sublime sunset tunes. Catch up on some zeds and lie-in before joining the club that kick-starts Sunday arvo’s with a Bottomless Brunch. Graze away a lazy afternoon on the Rooftop, or enjoy a deliciously satisfying Champagne experience. Ready to let your hair down and host your own party? Toast another trip around the sun or gather the fam for a fun celebration and throw a party that suits your vibe.

ENJOY A FOODIE FLING
Tuck into fresh summer flavours for brekkie, dinner and everything in-between.
With an abundance of blue skies and outdoor pursuits to work up an appetite, summer is the perfect time to eat out, when you’re eating out! Start your day with a classic staple like Smashed Avo — ours comes with sobrassada and goats curd, or take a virtual trip to Europe and order the Croissant Supreme with whipped vanilla bean mascarpone, fresh berries AND CANDY FLOSS. Yum! For lunch, satisfy your need for authentic Italian with a wood fired pizza (or two, we won’t judge). Or feast on quality steaks from the grill and savour fresh, local produce with a salad bowl, Grab your favourite people and go for Goldie’s grazing menus, made for ten or more guests. Feed the fam share-style with platters and dishes everyone can dig into.

HANG OUT ON THE ROCKS
Dive into our signature craft cocktails, freshly brewed craft beer or a refreshing spritz and watch the world go by…
Enjoy a drop of Sunshine (with your) Spritz and laze under beach umbrellas, Rooftop style. Beat the heat with a frozen Watermelon Marg as you lounge around the Pool Deck or celebrate with lovely bubbly and aperitifs for two. Find your Perfect Lady and more, with these refreshing cocktail jugs, made for sharing, or discover freshly brewed craft beer on tap, made right here in the sunshine state.

GAME ON AT GOLDIE’S
Catch the cricket, watch the match and cheer them home at your GC local.
Pop in for a pint, pizza or parmi with a Goldie’s Local Love membership. Feel like a flutter? Back your favourite and catch the action on the video wall at our TAB. Tuck into these mouth-watering Daily Deals, with an ice-cold craft beer, and shoot some pool in the lounge. Or get behind all the Summer cricket action live on the big screens.

RELAX AND RECHARGE
Stay in one of our spacious boutique rooms or suites and treat yourself to a summer staycay.
Like to settle in and create a home away from home? You’ll love our Twin or King Suites, kitted out with everything you need for a relaxing getaway, including kitchenette and dining area.
