Local tip
Booking ahead is sensible, particularly for group dining, celebrations and evening tables.

Paper Daisy is a coastal restaurant and bar at Halcyon House in Cabarita Beach, bringing seasonal Northern Rivers produce into a polished yet relaxed dining setting. The restaurant suits long lunches, evening meals, drinks at the bar and occasions that call for a considered approach to food and hospitality.

The menu is shaped by the seasons and the local region, with a focus on fresh daily harvests and trusted producers. International culinary training informs the cooking, while the overall direction remains connected to the Northern Rivers. Dishes are handled with precision without losing the easy character expected of a beachside restaurant.

Lunch is served from midday and dinner from late afternoon, with a bar menu available across the day. Paper Daisy also offers a beverage list and a cocktail programme built around seasonal ingredients, craft and a coastal sense of place. The bar provides a suitable setting for a drink before dinner, a more casual visit or an occasion centred on cocktails rather than a full meal.

The dining room is light-filled and designed around coastal elegance, pairing relaxed luxury with considered detail. Its position at Cabarita Beach gives the restaurant a clear connection to the coast, while the food brings the broader Northern Rivers into focus. It offers a coastal dining option for travellers exploring beyond the Whitsundays.

Paper Daisy caters for more than standard table bookings. Group dining, product launches and cocktail celebrations can be arranged with menu and hospitality planning suited to the occasion. The format works for gatherings that need a more polished setting, as well as relaxed meals shared over several courses.

Paper Daisy is a good fit for diners interested in seasonal produce, regional cooking and a refined coastal atmosphere. It also suits guests looking for lunch or dinner within a hotel setting, or a bar experience with a stronger food and drinks focus. Reservations are available for the restaurant, while group bookings and special events benefit from advance planning.
