Spring 2025

Welcome to the Spring edition of our online magazine, MBGC

Spring is in the air, and with it comes a fresh sense of possibility. The days are getting longer, the air a little lighter and the chill is starting to lift. In this edition of MBGC Magazine, we bring you stories that energise, delight and remind us why the Gold Coast is the ultimate place to cruise into spring.

For Driver, we catch up with Danny Bogatie from CocoWhip, who gets behind the wheel of the Mercedes-Benz GLA e250 and serves up the story behind his wildly popular desserts. In Space, a visionary property group is reimagining coastal homes with a bold contemporary edge. And Concept takes us into the world of eco-conscious art, where nature and creativity collide beautifully.

Discover these stories and more in the spring edition of MBGC. Please share this journey with your family and friends, and if you’re looking for your next drive, please browse our Pre-Owned catalogue or visit our Robina showroom.

Whip it!

What started as a mission to make soft serves healthier has grown into a booming dessert business that’s keeping things light, low in sugar, 100 percent vegan and now, even off grid.
