Review: Shuffle Club open The Famous Spiegeltent at Luna Park

September 26, 2018

Anyone who has ever set foot in the Spiegeltent will know that an evening at this historic venue will deliver a performance that is as decadently fabulous as the hand crafted mirror tent in which it is hosted. A night spent at the Speigeltent is a night spent in another world, under a sumptuous velvet canopy, surrounded by stained glass windows and beveled mirror columns, dancing the night away on the teak dancefloor.

We celebrated the long weekend with a trip to the Dandenongs for the last open day of @blue_lotus_watergarden, such an expansive, peaceful space perfectly suited for an Autumn wander . . . #melburnianguideto #yarrajunction #bluelotuswatergarden #dandenongranges #visitdandenongranges
@r_o_n_e’s event EMPIRE is thoroughly transportive, each room feels like a world gone by, treasures abandoned to time. . . . #melburnianguideto #burnhambeeches #rone #roneempire #sassafras #dandenongranges
A clear and very fine day for a drive and a lunch in the sun! We stopped at @badgerandhare for a hearty ploughman’s lunch under the shade of a fruitful lemon tree. Stratford is host to the @stratfordshakespearefest later this month from April 26th for two weeks full of events inspired by the Bard’s ghosts, sprites and villains! . . . #melburnianguideto #badgerandhare #stratford #stratfordontheriveravon #gippsland
Divine outing at @sardineeaterybar this evening, fabulously curated autumn menu with each plate artfully presented and lovingly served. . . . #melburnianguideto #sardineeatery #paynesville
Beautiful floral displays at the @melbflowershow for Gardens by Twilight, stunning arrangements and landscaping design - even a whole section on ‘achievable gardens’ for those of us not blessed with green thumbs! . . . #melburnianguideto #melbflowershow #melbournecbd #carltongardens #royalexhibitionbuilding #flowers #gardens
Walk this way for the time of your life... @immersivecinema expertly brings to life cult favourite, Dirty Dancing, in THE experience of summer! #melburnianguideto #summeradventures #dirtydancing #immersivecinema #flemington
We attended a Westpac @rubyconnection International Women’s Day/Month event on Tuesday night with an inspiring panel of AFLW Carlton Captain Bri Davey, Joanne Smith of Compass Education and Maria-Ann Camilleri, State General Manager Westpac Group. Not only did we cover all the prescient issues facing women right now - choice vs tradition, personal brand vs brag, battle for change vs quiet, everyday adjustments to work culture - we did it all within spectacular view of one of Melbourne’s most iconic structures, the Manchester Unity Building. Our core takeaway being, when we support each other to be the change we want to see, we all benefit. A lovely learning opportunity for an often struggling blogger! #melburnianguideto #melbourne #rubyconnection #manchesterunitybuilding #melbournecbd #iwd2019 #women
We’ve added some gorgeous Australian flora designs to our @redbubble store! The wattle was snapped at the @royalbotanicgardensvic Australian Garden in Cranbourne and the eucalyptus was from our weekend out east on Raymond Island in the Gippsland Lakes. Link to our shop in bio, we’re particularly loving the doona covers! #melburnianguideto #australiana #design #redbubble
Friday night G&T with @littlelondistillingco’s Proudfoot
An exciting night for us, we’re huge Potter fans! With Part One of @hpplayaus tonight at @princess_theatre and Part Two tomorrow evening, we’re going to be on the edge of our seats and speculating on the mystery until then... #melburnianguideto #summeradventures #harrypotter #cursedchildaus . . . #melbournesummer #melbournecbd #princesstheatre
We’re greeting this glorious morning with breakfast at @arboryeatery, amazing drinking our first brew of the day with the gentle sunshine beating down and river flowing below #melburnianguideto #summeradventures #arboryeatery . . . #melbournesummer #melbournecbd #yarrariver
We were out on the @thetoffintown tonight for dinner and a show! Loving the new menu combining the Toff kitchen offering with the best of Cookie. Delighted to be starting Melbourne’s comedy season early with a charity preview show from Danny Bhoy, who was hilarious, on point and extremely relatable. #melburnianguideto #summeradventures #toffintown #dannybhoy . . . #melbournesummer #melbournecbd #curtinhouse #melbournecomedy
9am rocked around and we bought our tickets to mural artist @r_o_n_e’s incredible transformation of the Burnham Beeches mansion in Sherbrooke. Having only caught glimpses of it on strolls through the Alfred Nichols Gardens, seeing the inside of Burnham Beeches has been a wish of ours for many years and coupled with an exhibition from one of our favourite artists, this experience is one not to miss! Tickets: https://www.r-o-n-e.com
Tonight we sat down in @galahmelbourne’s velvety booths to bask in the evening sunshine and sip our cares away with a silky, sweet lemon gin cocktail. Along the way we ordered some fabulous share plates: heirloom tomatoes liberally smattered with goats cheese, seasoned artichokes, white bean dip with grilled flatbread and a spicy porterhouse. We are utterly content! #melburnianguideto #summeradventures #galah . . . #melbournesummer #prahran #chapelst #chapelstprecinct
Paynesville is an exciting, up and coming Gippsland town on the shores of Lake Victoria, boasting some gorgeous eateries. @sardineeaterybar has captured the ebb and flow of the water, the freshness of the air in its menu and tactile decor. We spread our meal over a number of share plates: sourdough with seaweed butter, tempura zucchini flowers stuffed with goats cheese, broccoli florets with parmesan, heirloom beetroot and watermelon salad, and mini courgettes with oyster mushrooms. Each dish held flavours that were delicately spun, served in complementing pairs. Certainly an experience to repeat! #melburnianguideto #summeradventures #paynesville . . . #melbournesummer #holiday #beachholiday #bushholiday
