Celebrate the new season with spritz and gifts at The Star

We breathe a sigh of relief when the scorching temperatures of summer are met with the crisp, cool nights of autumn. Whether you’re a fan of the early evenings or prefer to make the most of the sunny days, The Star Gold Coast has an itinerary jam-packed with activities to help you welcome in the change of season.


Our favourite part of the changing seasons is that we can still feel the summer vibes even when the weather is turning. Sunset cocktails may be a little earlier but are just as enjoyable, especially at Nineteen’s Spritz Saturdays where you can sip and snack from 4:00–7:00 pm and let the good times bubble over. For $79 per person, you can start your Saturday celebrations with a round of everyone’s favourite, Aperol spritz, then move onto a refreshing elderflower and mint spritz before finishing on a sweet note with the Strawberry Fizz. Devour a delicious spread of freshly shucked oysters, house-cured olives, oozy gruyere and mushroom arancini balls, charcuterie and cheese boards, as well as crunchy French fries with garlic aioli as you settle in for an effervescent evening.

If you’d prefer to make the most of the sunny days, book a lunch at the Garden Kitchen & Bar and go home with more than just a full stomach. From February 19 to March 31, diners will receive a free bottle of wine to take home when they dine for lunch at the Garden Kitchen & Bar from Friday to Sunday, with a minimum spend of $75 per person. Take a little of the Garden experience home and keep the summer vibes going all year round.

When your ideal night is dancing until your feet hurt, head to Live on The Lawn at Garden Kitchen & Bar on Saturday March 2 for a special evening with Karise Eden, winner of The Voice Australia 2012. From 6:00 pm, you’re invited to soak in the songstress’ soulful sounds as you’re transported to the Garden of Eden as the sun goes down.

It might be the end of the summer months but that means it’s the start of the long-awaited footy season. Whichever team you cheer for, gather your mates and head to the Sports Bar to watch the games live, loud and across multiple large screens. Once you’ve found your prime position in front of the mega screens, you can snack on crowd favourites like burgers and fries while you watch the nail-biting game.

Celebrate both wins and losses well into the night with live entertainment in the Atrium Bar until midnight.
