Cruise Down Memory Lane at the Perfectly Retro Kyneton Springs Motel

In the heart of Kyneton, a small town famous for its gold rush-era charm and creative industries, stands the Kyneton Springs Motel. With a bold and adventurous Americana dream design, the motel features a fizzy neon sign and individually curated kitschy-cool rooms.

Former restaurateur Catherine Foote and the creative team at the Good/Hands have transformed the classic Australian road trip into a nod to the cool glamour of California’s Palm Springs. The result is a retro vibe motor inn with 20 individually curated suites that offer all the comforts a modern traveller desires.

As guests lounge around the pastel-hued shade of The Patio with a cocktail, they can grab a bite from the nostalgia-inspired menu at Cathie’s Kiosk or shop to their heart’s desire in the gift shop. The custom-designed merch from illustrators Randy Jaya Parker and Tanya Cooper adds to the motel’s unique character.

Despite its groovy update, the Kyneton Springs Motel remains an affordable and accessible space for people to sleep and play. It’s ideal for anyone seeking a unique motor inn experience and a taste of the good ol’ days. The motel plans to roll out a series of festival-style events and is also available for private event hire.
