Group Bookings Made Easy: Your Sunshine Coast Venue Checklist

Planning a group event is exciting, but it can also feel a bit overwhelming without the right venue and setup. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate gathering or a casual get-together with friends, the setting plays a major part in shaping the experience. On the Sunshine Coast, where ocean views and easy elegance meet, finding a place that adds genuine value to your gathering matters.

Green Zebra brings together a relaxed atmosphere and refined modern Australian dining, making it a standout choice for group bookings. This is where events become more than just calendar entries. With waterfront views, creative seasonal menus and a welcoming vibe, we help turn your next gathering into something truly special.

Choosing the Right Venue for Your Group

The right venue does more than host; it elevates. When you're planning group events, from intimate celebrations to milestone moments, there are a few things to look out for.

1. Location: Being on the Sunshine Coast, proximity to the water adds instant charm. A waterfront venue creates a relaxed tone and elevates the setting.

2. Ambiance: Think about how the space feels when you walk in. Whether your gathering is casual and vibrant or sleek and professional, the venue’s atmosphere should work with, not against, your intentions.

3. Capacity: There’s a sweet spot between too crowded and too empty. Your guests should feel comfortable, with enough space to move and connect.

At Green Zebra, our location on Kawana Island overlooks the calming waters of Double Bay, offering diners peaceful moments accompanied by beautiful coastal scenery. Our indoor-outdoor flow lets us host all kinds of group sizes while maintaining an intimate, well-designed feel. Whether you’re getting the team together or celebrating with family, this is the kind of setting that naturally encourages connection.

Tailored Menu Options

Every memorable group gathering includes great food. A shared meal can spark conversations, reinforce friendships and celebrate flavours both familiar and new. That’s why we make menu planning a central part of every booking.

Our group dining experience comes with the flexibility to customise dishes based on preferences, dietary needs and seasonal inspiration. Whether it’s plant-based options, gluten-free requests or something bolder and adventurous, we build a menu that speaks to your group’s style.

Seasonal ingredients play a huge role in our kitchen. We lean into the best produce of the moment, from crisp summer greens to warming ingredients in winter. Picture a table shared over a chilled seafood platter beneath a golden sunset or a winter lunch with slow-cooked lamb and earthy sides.

We draw influence from European and Asian cuisines while staying grounded in Aussie creativity. This creates dining experiences that surprise, delight and encourage discovery. You won't just be fed, you’ll be genuinely excited to see what’s arriving at the table next.

Efficient Planning and Coordination

Coordinating a group event can seem intense. There are dietary preferences to consider, RSVPs to keep track of and a dozen tiny details that need attention. That’s where we come in.

Our dedicated events team is here to make the entire process smooth, simple and stress-free. From the very first enquiry, we’re available to help piece together a plan that reflects your style and intention. We listen carefully, ask the right questions and guide you through the decisions that matter, from seating plans to final dish selections.

Need something custom? We’ll figure it out with you. Menu tweaks, unique setups, even quirky themes, we’ve worked with it all. Our team brings experience and flexibility to every booking, making sure both the big picture and the finer details come to life.

Communication is key, and we’re committed to quick responses, clear info, and creative ideas. That way, you can focus more on your people and less on paperwork.

Enhancing the Social Experience

A great venue is about more than what’s served. It’s about the moments that unfold and the stories shared across the table. That starts with creating an environment that encourages openness, warmth and ease.

Our waterfront setting offers a relaxed yet elevated atmosphere. Whether you're clinking glasses on the outdoor deck or chatting over shared plates under soft lighting, our spaces are designed for connection. We know how important layout, music and lighting are in shaping the mood. That’s why every element is intentionally matched to your gathering.

Thoughtful touches like fireside seating in cooler months or open-air tables in summer allow guests to settle in and feel at home. The views of Double Bay create a natural conversation starter, and the space itself carries just the right energy to support everything from laid-back chats to more meaningful connections.

These aren’t cookie-cutter party spaces that you fill and forget. They’re designed to encourage genuine interaction and leave guests with lasting memories.

Elevate Your Group Gathering with a Touch of Sophistication

When it all comes together, the food, the planning and the space, you’ve got more than just a gathering. You’ve got an experience.

That’s what we aim to create at Green Zebra. Moments where people laugh, share, and connect over thoughtful dishes in a setting that feels both premium and relaxed. Whether you’re toasting to a big win, hosting out-of-town guests, or simply making time for those who matter, we’re here to help deliver something special.

With seasonal menus that surprise, views that inspire, and a team that gets the balance right between doing too much and doing just enough, Green Zebra is the ideal place for your next group occasion.

This isn’t about putting on a show. It’s about creating real moments in a beautiful setting. We’re ready when you are.
