In the know
Also need to know:
The adjacent MONA gallery, and its café and bars, are only open Friday to Monday. The Source restaurant will still be open to guests for breakfast and alternative dinner arrangements can be made when the restaurant is closed.Mona, the Museum of Old and New Art, is Australia's largest private museum and the brainchild of Mona Pavilions' owner David Walsh. Carved into the cliffside alongside the accommodation, this sexily lit temple showcases a 'subversive Disneyland' of modern art and rare global antiquities worth over AU$100 million, including works by Brit artists Damien Hirst and Chris Ofili, US sloganeer Jenny Holzer and Australian icon Sidney Nolan. You can even stream highlights of the collection into your room via your TV screen for a more personal viewing.
Packing tips:
Swimsuit, gym and yoga kit if you're the sporty type. Forget bag-clogging books, though – each pavilion comes with a stack of art and architecture tomes, novels and mags, all personally recommended by Mona staff.
Dress code:
Go minimal and modern to match the mood; stylish sartorial statements for admiring the art, architecture and gourmet offerings, plus lower key threads for lounging in your private pavilion.

Dining information
Restaurant:
On the first floor of Mona's sharp-suited, ultra-contemporary reception building the Ether, you'll find destination restaurant the Source, a cool confection of minimal white tables and crisp glass walls which make the most of killer rustic views. The menu consists of French-influenced Mod Oz dishes, which embrace the mantra 'think globally, but act locally' with great oysters, mussels, escabeche and pan roasted fish on offer, as well as delicious desserts, and own-label wine and beer produced on the premises.
Top Table:
Request a table by the window overlooking the river – or venture out onto the terrace in warm weather to soak up fresh air, sunshine and aquatic horizons.
Last Orders:
The Source is open for lunch Friday–Monday from noon to 4pm.
Room Service:
Continental breakfast can be pre-arranged to arrive at your room between 7.30am and 10am.
Hotel Bar:
Pop to the Mona museum Wine Bar out near the lawn for tempting drops and cheese platters.
