Haven at Mondrian Gold Coast Welcomes Spring with Refined Seasonal Menus and Bespoke Coastal Experiences

Following an acclaimed debut season, Haven at Mondrian Gold Coast elegantly ushers in spring with an inspired evolution of its menu and a curated program of lifestyle activations. Perched majestically above Burleigh’s idyllic pine-fringed shoreline, this distinguished pool club and restaurant continues to set the benchmark for refined coastal dining, seamlessly blending impeccable hospitality with produce-driven artistry.

At the helm of this culinary transformation is Executive Chef Aaron Teece, whose meticulously crafted spring menu celebrates the region’s finest seasonal bounty. Signature offerings include a sumptuous Prawn Bisque Risotto, enriched with local prawns, delicate saffron, and a hint of Espelette pepper; a vibrant Seafood Chowder featuring lemon myrtle–steamed fish and fresh mussels; and a Slow-Cooked Lamb Shoulder, each mouthful layered with nuanced textures of caramelised onion. The wood-fired creations—Australian Bay Bug Karaage and Scallops crowned with crispy chilli and potato—add a smoky complexity to the menu. To conclude, a warm, share-style Apple Tarte Tatin paired with crème fraîche from Tommerup Dairy offers a decadent finish.

“Our pursuit is to let the seasons guide our table,” Chef Teece reflects. “This spring collection invites lighter, luminous flavours inspired by the coastline alongside richer dishes designed to be shared—celebratory food rooted in place yet elevated in experience.”

The spirit of celebration blossoms in November with Haven’s much-anticipated Melbourne Cup Day festivities. This elegant affair transforms the poolside into a haven for gourmet indulgence featuring a lavish four-course dining experience ($395 per guest), an effortlessly chic Sunset Bar soirée with roving canapés and a premium 3.5-hour beverage package ($295 per guest), or an exclusive VIP cabana retreat starting at $4,000, complete with private host service. Guests will be enchanted by live race coverage, fashions on the field, and the vibrant rhythms spun by DJ sets, all presented under the masterful hosting of MC Dan Anstey.

Beyond the Melbourne Cup, Haven unveils an enticing array of springtime activations designed to delight and inspire:

• Oysters & Champagne – Indulge in three exquisite oysters paired with a glass of champagne for $30, Monday to Friday, 3–5pm
