What’s New This Season at Kawana Island’s Most Social Spot
March on the Sunshine Coast arrives with a distinct shift in energy. The humidity drops, evenings turn cooler, and outdoor dining takes on a new kind of ease. At Green Zebra on Kawana Island, we're leaning into this seasonal rhythm with dining spaces and event offerings designed around what matters most: connecting with family and friends in our beautiful waterfront venue.
With balmy evenings still holding strong before winter arrives, March and April offer a beautiful window to discover what's happening at Kawana Island's most social dining destination. Whether you're planning something special or simply seeking a fresh atmosphere to share with the people who matter, now's a great time to visit.
Your Celebration, Your Way
Birthdays and anniversaries deserve more than a standard restaurant booking. At Green Zebra, our waterfront setting and flexible spaces naturally elevate milestone moments without making them feel overly formal.
What makes celebrations work well:
Multiple space options from intimate dining alcoves (15-35 guests) to our expansive alfresco deck (up to 120 seated)
Waterfront backdrop with Double Bay Beach literally steps from your table, perfect for pre-dinner drinks or photos
Customisable arrangements for grazing-style celebrations or traditional seated dinners, depending on your vibe
Private sections available when you want your group to feel like they have their own space without booking the entire venue
Whether it's golden hour drinks flowing into dinner or a long lunch that stretches into afternoon, the setting does half the work for you.
Private Dining That Feels Private
Our private dining room seats up to 14 guests (or 25 standing). It's designed for moments when you need a proper private space, not just a curtained-off corner of a busy restaurant.
Why it works for business and celebration:
Genuine privacy with a contemporary fit-out that feels sophisticated without being stuffy
Built-in AV capabilities including a large flat screen for presentations when you need them
Flexible setup that adapts to working lunches, client dinners, or small team celebrations
Waterfront location that makes the commute feel less corporate
The space supports what matters: good conversation, great food, and an environment that lets both happen naturally.
Weddings That Feel Like You
Small waterfront weddings work beautifully at Green Zebra because the location does the heavy lifting. Your guests aren't just attending a wedding, they're experiencing Double Bay at its best.
What makes it work:
Ceremony options steps from your reception including Double Bay Beach (white sand, crystal-clear water), the lush parkland, or the timber deck extending over the water (all available through Sunshine Coast Council)
Alfresco deck reception space that seats up to 120 guests with uninterrupted water views
Relaxed coordination support from our experienced team who handle the details so you can actually be present
Seasonal menus designed around fresh local produce, with options for 2-course ($99pp), 3-course ($120pp), or cocktail-style ($99pp) receptions
Flexible styling whether you want modern coastal vibes or something more understated
The beach is right there. The views are spectacular. Your guests can move from ceremony to pre-reception canapés to dinner without getting in cars. It's intimate, beautiful, and genuinely relaxed.
Modern Australian Dining With a View
Our menu reflects what modern Australian cuisine does best: taking quality local ingredients and letting global influences show up where they make sense. You'll find Asian-inspired dishes like Chicken Satay Miang Kham and Lemongrass Turmeric Glazed Chicken sitting comfortably alongside Mediterranean favourites like Burrata and Charred Beef Kofta.
What's on the menu right now:
Locally sourced seafood including Hervey Bay scallops, Mooloolaba prawns, and fresh market fish
Shared plates designed for grazing, from Pork & Prawn Spring Rolls to Memphis BBQ Pork Belly Bites
Substantial mains like Pure Black Angus Sirloin and Crispy Confit Duck
Our cocktail list runs from classic Espresso Martinis to tropical options like Mango Chilli Margaritas, with mocktail versions available for those skipping alcohol.
Our waterfront setting and alfresco deck make it easy to linger over shared plates while the sun sets over Double Bay.
Make It Memorable
Good food and waterfront views handle most of the work. But what turns a regular dinner into something your group actually remembers is usually simpler than you'd think: the right space, solid service, and enough room for conversation to flow naturally.
Green Zebra works because the setting does the heavy lifting. Our alfresco deck overlooks Double Bay. The menu balances familiar comfort with unexpected flavours. And whether you're here for a milestone celebration or just catching up with friends, the atmosphere supports whatever kind of night you're after.
