New Year's Eve Special: Celebration Dining at Green Zebra

New Year’s Eve deserves more than just a countdown. For many on the Sunshine Coast, it’s that one night where food, music, and atmosphere come together with high expectations. It marks the final chapter of the year, and ideally, it’s one to be remembered. Whether you're spending it with close friends or planning a stylish night out, the setting should feel fresh, unique, and exciting.

But while the night often takes centre stage, the next day matters just as much. New Year’s Day deserves to be celebrated with more than lukewarm leftovers. That’s where our thoughtfully curated brunch steps in. With waterfront views and a fresh take on contemporary Australian cuisine, it’s your chance to start the year with delicious ease. Whether you’re a local or just visiting the Sunshine Coast, it’s an experience that feels both relaxed and refreshing.

Celebrate in Style at Green Zebra

Some evenings are built around memory-making. New Year’s Eve is a perfect example. The buzz begins the moment you step into Green Zebra. Every little detail sets the tone for a chic and considered experience that blends coastal charm with a festive twist.

The décor on the night pairs seasonal touches with an understated elegance. Summer weather means short sleeves, statement outfits, and cool drinks in hand as the golden light fades. Our venue captures that coastal energy while adding a refined feel, where waterfront views enhance the mood without overpowering it.

Here’s what you can expect throughout the evening:

1. Waterfront views from every table offer the perfect backdrop for both quiet conversations and lively gatherings.

2. Our exclusive New Year’s Eve menu brings together the essence of summer with culinary style drawn from European and Asian inspirations.

3. Our team keeps service relaxed and intuitive so you can sip, share, and soak in the atmosphere at your own pace.

What makes the night so memorable is how each dish is crafted for this one occasion. Our chefs have curated a menu that captures celebration through flavour. Expect bright seasonal ingredients, lighter textures, and clever combinations that keep the evening lively. It's festive without being overdone, sophisticated without losing warmth.

With the sun setting across the calm waters, and the evening unfolding at just the right tempo, it’s where milestones are toasted and genuine moments linger well into the night.

Entertainment and Activities

Atmosphere shapes the night as much as cuisine does. At Green Zebra, New Year’s entertainment is designed to evolve with the night’s energy, creating a flow that feels natural and engaging.

Live acoustic sets will guide you into the evening, allowing conversation and mood to build gradually. As midnight approaches, the vibe lifts, with more upbeat performances creating a sense of momentum. It’s entertainment that feels connected to the celebration, rather than staged for effect.

Throughout the venue, you’ll notice thoughtful touches that add richness to your evening:

1. Live music tailored to the pace of the night keeps everything moving fluidly from welcome drinks to the midnight cheer.

2. Both indoor and alfresco areas are open, allowing for natural movement and mingling.

3. Whether you're in the mood to reflect, laugh, or dance, there’s space and time to do it your way.

4. Interactive touches and small details bring the theme alive without overwhelming it.

There’s no rigid schedule or pressure to perform. The experience is about celebrating how you want to. One minute you might be enjoying a toast beneath sparkling lights, the next sharing a laugh with someone new. These are the moments that make the countdown feel truly meaningful.

An Exclusive Brunch on the Sunshine Coast the Next Morning

After the excitement of New Year’s Eve, there’s nothing quite like waking to a tranquil morning beside the water and enjoying a beautiful brunch. Our New Year’s Day brunch on the Sunshine Coast offers a relaxing setting to transition into the year with comfort, connection, and quality.

This isn’t just a casual breakfast. It’s designed as a continuation of celebration: lighter, calmer, but just as special. The menu leans into summer freshness with dishes that feel balanced and modern. Expect clean, creative plates that marry contemporary Australian flavours with subtle European and Asian twists.

You’ll find:

1. Seasonal dishes that highlight crisp produce, aromatic herbs, and flavour that’s full yet never heavy.

2. Drinks that set the tone, whether it's a light sparkling start to the day or a soothing slow brew.

3. A scenic, open-air space that blends soft natural light with breezy coastal vibes.

4. A welcoming pace that invites you to stay a while, reconnect and savour both the meal and the moment.

It’s the sort of brunch that brings people back together, reminding you of the night before while gently easing you into what lies ahead. Not rushed, never loud, and full of effortless charm.
