Another delightful High Tea experience at Secrets! We celebrated my Mum's 85th birthday with a family gathering, and it was absolutely wonderful. They thoughtfully seated us in the gazebo, providing a quieter and more intimate setting for Mum to enjoy, while allowing us to take in the stunning lake views and charming ambience. The staff were warm, friendly, and exceptionally attentive, ensuring we felt well taken care of throughout. The food was simply delicious—every element of the High Tea was beautifully presented and a treat for the palate. Secrets truly ticks all the boxes for an elegant and memorable dining experience. It’s the perfect spot to linger over delectable treats, engage in heartfelt conversations, and soak in the serene beauty of the surroundings. Highly recommended for any special occasion or just a delightful outing!

Pavilion was so lovely to eat at. The decor was cute and casual but the food made it next level. The view over mooloolaba beach was stunning and I loved the whole experience. I had the mushroom ravioli with a glass of wine and am so happy with all of it. A stunning experience.
