Good times for everyone at The Star Gold Coast.
Good times for everyone at The Star Gold Coast.
Kids these days, they don’t know how good they have it. Back in our day there was no Netflix, no fancy phones for Christmas and certainly no eating for free at the very best buffet on the Gold Coast.
Which is what the children of today get for the entire school holidays at The Star Gold Coast and their exceptional venue Harvest Buffet.
Now we get that kids can be fussy eaters (unsure why because food is so delicious) but it’s a thing so let’s roll with it.
It’s not so much of a problem though when there are SO MANY delicious options on offer in the one place; a buffet filled with options in fact.
That’s what’s up at Harvest Buffet but it’s even better than you can imagine with everything from the freshest seafood like oysters, prawns, sushi, crabs and mussels, to roasts from the carvery as well as crowd-pleasers like pizza, pasta, curries, soups and salads, there’s something guaranteed to tickle even the fussiest of child’s fancy.
Once they’re done feasting upon all that goodness there’s no doubt they’ll be keen for Harvest Buffet’s exceptional dessert bar, complete with a chocolate fountain.
Big kids will like that one too.
It’s the perfect school holiday treat from Monday December 16th to Friday January 24th – that’s a lot of eating for the little ones.
Adults will obviously have a good time too – Harvest Buffet offers poolside views, beautifully curated indoor and outdoor spaces and a private dining room, it’s the perfect location for both casual dining and celebrations the whole family will love.
If you’re in need of a dining destination that you know will impress the kids, and ensure they leave with full tummies, you’ve found it at The Star Gold Coast.
And it’s free for lunch and dinner for the kids.
What more could you possibly want?
Get down there.
LOCATION: The Star Gold Coast, Casino Drive, Broadbeach

Now that all of the Christmas crazy is behind us, we finally have an opportunity to actually put our feet up and relax before it’s back to work time. Let’s not talk about work just yet though.
You know what the perfect way your to put feet up and relax is? A massage at the divine Azure Spa & Fitness and then two hours of poolside relaxation in a private poolside cabana.
Excitingly that is a thing you can (and should) treat yourself to after a very strenuous few days of eating and drinking all the things.
The Star Gold Coast is where it’s all happening and if you’ve ever had the pleasure of even laying eyes on their stunning pool you’ll know there’s an excellent time to be had.
The details are these: you (and a lucky pal or perhaps the love of your life) each get a 60 minute Effective Touch massage plus two hours of private cabana hire, a bottle of Chandon, bottles of FIJI Water and pool towels.
For just $450. WOW. Sign. Us. Up.
What is an Effective Touch Massage you ask?
It’s a gentle yet effective energy restoring massage bringing harmonious balance to the body and the mind. A range of massage techniques are used to eliminate energy disruptions and dissolve tension and tightness, with neck and eye pillows to encourage warmth and relaxation.
It’s perfect for times of stress and over-activity – which is always but particularly after the Christmas period right? Right.
If all of that sounds like exactly what you need right now, get booking. There are two time slots daily – 10am to 1pm and 1pm to 4pm – so you may experience extreme morning relaxation or extreme afternoon relaxation.
Tough choice hey.
For bookings call 07 5592 8501 or email [email protected].
Time to treat yourself friends, you deserve it.
So do we. Catch you poolside.
WHERE: Azure Spa & Fitness, The Star Gold Coast, Casino Drive, Broadbeach

If you’re eating out, why settle for a single paltry dish, when you could be taking your pick from a bacchanalian spread that would put a party thrown by Greek gods to shame?
Since we’re all in agreement that more is always more, let’s talk buffets. And the newest one set to satisfy even the most insatiable of appetites is Harvest Buffet, now open at The Star Gold Coast.
In its former life as Food Fantasy, the venue was perennially popular with both locals and visitors alike. But now in its latest incarnation, Harvest Buffet more than delivers on its promises of a world-class buffet experience that’s bigger, better and even more beautiful (poolside views, anyone?).
With a fresh new face and expanded capacity for 500 fellow foodies, the six months of renos to Harvest have resulted in a complete revamp that’s more than skin deep. Now literally one of the largest buffet offerings in South East Queensland, Harvest offers a cornucopia of the freshest seafood and fantastic fare from around the world, guaranteed to please even the pickiest of eaters.
So if you’ve got a group of friends who can never agree on where to eat, want to earn back that belt notch on cheat day, or need somewhere to take that pain-in-the-butt person we all know – who should be a size zero given the number of food groups they’ve sworn themselves off…but strangely isn’t – then Harvest is your go-to option to tick all boxes.
We’ve mentioned the trawler-fresh seafood selection – always going to be a hit – but you’ll find new favourites to feast on at the carvery station. Be sure to try the distinctive, smoke-licious grilled meat dishes from the South American style Parilla Grill while you’re in carnivore mode too.
But wait, there’s more! Not one, but two live kitchen stations, both of the Asian persuasion. The Chinese BBQ and Asian stations are a master stroke of the redesign and allow diners to interact with the culinary maestros behind the menu, instead of keeping them hidden away in the kitchens like some unappreciated 50s housewife.
But shoosh for a second there finicky eaters, we’re still not finished. Harvest also offers Roman style pizzas with a thicker, chewier crust, fresh from the oven, and a selection of house-made pastas.
Finally, if you’re the type of hedonist that heads straight for the desserts (no shame in that!), you’ll have fun with the Wonka-esque two metre tall chocolate fountain and display of decadent desserts that are basically begging to be dunked or drenched in the aforementioned melted, chocolatey goodness. (Feeling like a little food-nap just thinking about it? Yeah, we are too.)
Finally, the days of settling for single serves is over!
Harvest Buffet is now open at The Star, so get down there and feast to your heart’s content friends!
LOCATION: The Star Gold Coast, Casino Drive, Broadbeach
HOURS: Harvest Buffet is now open 7 days a week for breakfast (6.30am-10am), lunch (11.30am-2.30pm) and dinner (Sunday-Friday 5.30pm-late and Saturday 5pm-late).
