Kyneton Springs Motel Is The 70s Palm Springs Oasis Tucked Away In Regional Victoria

By Simon Cassar

A motel with palm trees and a neon sign.

With a neon-lit sign that wouldn't be out of place on the strip of Las Vegas or on a quiet stretch of Route 66, The Kyneton Springs Motel harkens back to the nostalgic glory days of roadside accommodation. 

Located in the Macedon Ranges region just over an hour's drive to the northeast of Melbourne, this revitalised hotel adorned in pastel tones is a kitschy and sentimental journey back in time. 

With plush faux-velour style carpets, colourful shape-dominated wallpaper and even an old-dial telephone on the bedside table, the Kyneton Springs Motel nails the brief. 

Breakfast can be delivered in-room with the time-honoured paper card; put a couple of ticks towards poached eggs with a long black or tackle bacon and egg roll with a fresh OJ. 

There's also a patio which is an ideal spot for tackling the cocktail menu—be it a solid whiskey sour or a 'Golden Fix' with gin, lemon and lime juice, egg yolk, sugar syrup and soda water. 

Head over to Kyneton Springs Hotel to book in.
