The Easter long weekend is just around the corner – it’s time to make sure all the family has an egg-stra special celebration filled with chocolate, good times and good vibes.
Here are five venues to hop into for some egg-ceptional fun this Easter:
Plethora of Easter Activities
The JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort and Spa on Ferny Avenue in Surfers Paradise offers a superior level of comfort, panoramic views and award-winning cuisine to locals and visitors alike. Meeting the needs of multi-generational travellers, guests enjoy a range of options with 200 ocean and mountain view rooms, plus an additional 23 suites with floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing each room in ample light.
This Easter sees a plethora of activities to keep the whole family busy from an Easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday at Citrique to iconic seafood and grill buffet dining and an enchanting Easter afternoon High Tea at Chaper & Verse Bar and Lounge, featuring playful sweets, hot X buns and white chocolate bunny tails.
Exuberant Easter Offerings
Conveniently located in the Grand Hyatt Melbourne on Collins Street, Collins Kitchen is all about food cooked over smoke and flames, using only the finest local ingredients. Reimagining the classic Australian barbeque, the menu is purely spectacular from traditional American-style smoked ribs and meat to wood-oven roasted fish and vegetables cooked to perfection.
Discover an exuberant dining experience, inspired by the wonders of Easter this April – hop on into an adventure and experience fresh and succulent Victorian produce. Join the fun for High Tea on Easter Saturday, or buffet lunch on Easter Sunday with fresh seafood, salads, live carvery and grill stations.
Fun-filled Easter Family Activities
There’s nothing wrong with a little history and the North Byron Hotel on Bayshore Drive in Byron Bay has it in spades. Rife with sunshine and salt air, Byron is home and a place that can only be described and shared through an experience and that is what you’ll get at this thriving mecca of good food, great music, laughter and a chill-seeker vibe.
Fringed with lush greenery, flowering gardens and coastal interiors, join the fun-filled Easter activities with face painting, kids’ arts and crafts, pony rides, Easter egg hunt, live DJs and pop-up stalls. The beloved Open Skies BBQ is also back, bigger than ever!
Easter Scavenger Hunt for Kids
Overlooking picturesque vineyards, Twine Restaurant spills out onto a rose-trimmed courtyard ideal for weddings and leisurely lunches, from its location on Oakey Creek Road in Pokolbin. Nestled inside Wynwood Estate, walk up a beautifully manicured hedge path, past the gazebo peering over the vineyard and take a seat in an elegant dining space to ponder a Modern Australian menu showcasing local produce.
Fill your bellies and baskets with more than just chocolate this Easter, while the kids run around on a scavenger hunt, enjoy some time to reset and refuel with an abundance of delicious food; enjoy a lavish buffet breaky on Easter Sunday, or a long lunch from the low and slow buffet.
Annual Easter Egg Hunt
Nestled in the Southern Highlands, Robertson Public House & Kitchen on Hoddle Street offers visitors and locals a cosy place to relax over a hearty meal. Timber floors, exposed wooden beams and a roaring open fireplace all combine to create an effortlessly rustic pastoral feel, complemented by warm country hospitality.
On Easter Sunday, make sure to join the annual Easter egg hunt with live music from 12 pm to 3 pm – it’s the ultimate long weekend with good vibes, great music and plenty of eggs to eat – along with pub classic meals to keep hunger at bay like bangers and mash with fried kale, red wine jus and fried shallots.
