You won't find many external photos of the rooms at Lyndoch Hill Motel. The motel rooms were built approximately 60 years ago and prior to the renovations would've given off a roadside motel slasher movie vibe. The new owners have thrown the paint around, with a view to capture a Palm Springs vibe. (Think, pale walls and pastel colours for doors and highlights)
Opening the door to the room showed a room that had been tastefully renovated but obviously on a budget. Weirdly the highlight was the new soft spongy carpet. The bathroom still had it's original tiles and wall to wall mirror, but again the Palm Springs inspired paint and styling freshened it up. The rooms are very comfortable to stay in.
There were a few downfalls:
* When we went, the restaurant was not open and still being renovated. It was one of the reasons we chose this place.
* The bed was far too soft to the point that the excellent new carpet was looking like a far more comfortable place to sleep.
* There was no hair-dryer in the room. This made getting ready for Saturday night dinner a bit difficult for my partner.
