Sip, Skate, and Soak up the Vibes of Malibu
CHADSTONE OPEN NOW
Accepting bookings below
Step inside the Malibu Barbie Café — a two-storey pink paradise where Barbie’s world comes to life! Think retro glam, dreamy desserts, all-day dining, signature cocktails at the Ken Kabana, exclusive Barbie merch, a groovy mini skate rink, and endless Insta-worthy photo ops.
There’s no entry fee to the Dreamhouse - we keep it accessible by linking access to your dining reservation. Note that on specific days we do implement a minimum spend per person - full details are below.
Reservations are essential to guarantee your spot inside. For this reason we are unable to accomodate guests who wish to look around the Dreamhouse.
Please note: during school holidays we may be unable to accommodate walk-ins, and availability can be limited at peak times. Keep an eye on our website for cancellations or newly released spots — we’ll always do our best to seat walk-ins if space allows.

Welcome to Dream Life
We’re so excited to have you join us. To help keep everything running smoothly for all our guests, please take note of the following before your visit:
Booking & Seating
Prams: During busy periods, prams may not be brought into the restaurant. A dedicated pram parking area is provided just outside.
Groups: We’re unable to accept groups larger than 12 for standard bookings. For larger groups, please email us to arrange a group booking, which requires a $50 per person minimum spend.
Other Details
From 8:30pm on Saturday nights, our upstairs Ken Kabana bar and mini skate rink are 18+ only.
Children must be supervised at all times to ensure everyone can enjoy the space.
We are a card-only venue. A 10% surcharge applies on Sundays and a 15% surcharge applies on Public Holidays for food, drinks, and skate sessions.
If your plans change, please cancel or update your booking at least 24 hours in advance.
Families, Kids & All Things Pink
We’re so excited to welcome Barbie fans of all ages — and we want your visit to be as fabulous and fun as possible!
To help everyone feel comfy and make sure there’s plenty of room for prams, strollers, and sparkly outfits, please include all guests in your booking — even the tiniest ones.
While we adore little ones, we’re not able to seat children on laps, as each guest needs their own spot at the table.
Just a heads-up — we’re a café, not a play centre, so there’s no playground or play area. But there’s plenty of pink magic, photo ops, and treats to keep the fun going!
Barbie x Impala Mini Skate Rink
Ready to roll, Barbie-style?
Add some extra fun with a spin around our Barbie x Impala MINI Skate Rink — located upstairs at the Dreamhouse!
$10 for 15 minutes of skating fun
Includes skate hire and protective gear
Skate sessions are limited and booked separately on the day
Dining reservations are required to access the rink — skating cannot be booked separately
Good to know:
Dining does not include or guarantee skating
Skating is generally suited for kids aged 6+ or 100cm tall, but it all depends on foot size
Our smallest skate size is US 1 / EU 32
For safety and comfort, please visit our friendly team at the skate hire desk to check sizing before booking a session
