Here are four new products in the Gold Coast event planners should take notice of
Time for paradise
Operating from Marina Mirage on the Gold Coast, Sailing in Paradise boasts a fleet of three sailing catamarans that welcome private charters.
Its newest addition is Island Time, a spacious vessel which boasts a large indoor space with central island table and wrap-around bench seating that can accommodate 42 guests. Guests can enjoy the sun on trampolines on the front deck, and bring a barbecue party onboard. The crew will gladly take groups out to scenic islands nearby for water sports in the day, and chase picturesque sunsets.
Follow this yellow brick road
Corporate groups yearning for a trip through their favourite childhood tales will find a memorable experience at Warner Bros Movie World theme park’s soon-to-come Wizard of Oz attraction.
Set to open later this year, Follow The Yellow Brick Road features two roller coaster rides, as well as two unique venues for private functions. The Wizard’s Chamber is an elegant indoor venue that takes up to 140 pax in a banquet, while the outdoor Emerald City Plaza can accommodate 350 guests. The photogenic Lilypad Platform is also ideal for welcome speeches or event entertainment.
Home of warm gatherings
Nestled among tall trees within the Gold Coast’s Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, The Homestead is a new venue that whisks guests into a world that moves a little slower and is filled with the beauty of nature.
Stop and smell seasonal flowers, have a cup of freshly brewed tea, and say hello to fluffy bunnies and lazy llamas in the Farmyard. Later, head into the beautiful timber-and-brick house for a cosy meal with colleagues.
The Homestead boasts high-pitched ceilings, a feature fireplace, integrated
lighting designed by Ralph Lauren, and state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment.
A professional kitchen and open bar facilitate high-quality event catering.
Elevated parties
The best views of the Gold Coast may well be found up in the sky at Queensland’s one and only revolving restaurant – Horizon Sky Dining. Sitting on top of Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise, it was relaunched in 2023 along with a new look and feel.
Horizon Sky Dining is ideal for corporate luncheons and dinner parties, and can take in 128 guests in a seated layout. Larger groups in a standing cocktail setting are possible too. Private venue hire is welcome Mondays to Wednesdays.
