Whimsy Meets Retro Minimalism - Cheshire Cat Motel

Nestled in the heart of the vibrant Gold Coast, The Cheshire Cat Motel emerges as a playful yet serene sanctuary for travelers seeking a unique stay. It's a place where whimsy collides with minimalist design, creating a space that is both inviting and intriguing.
From the moment you glimpse the motel’s retro-inspired sign, with its bold lettering and iconic grinning cat, you know you're in for something special. The Cheshire Cat Motel holds onto the nostalgia of a classic roadside retreat while embracing the comforts of modern aesthetics and amenities.
As you step into one of the motel's rooms, the outside world begins to fade, replaced by a tranquil atmosphere. The walls, a clean canvas of white, are punctuated with a single piece of art that seems to echo the leisurely life of the coast. A wooden guitar hangs on the wall, suggesting that relaxation and creativity are not just welcomed but encouraged here.

The true centerpiece of each room, however, is the 'Made of Tomorrow’ FOLD Bedside table, finished in our Elements Bronze. These pieces are not just furniture; they are a statement of the motel's commitment to quality and design. Functional and stylish, they embody the ethos of The Cheshire Cat Motel - where every detail is an integral part of the experience.
These tables are accompanied by plush, striped cushions that rest upon the bed, their colors reflecting the earthy tones of the cork board headrest. It's a textural paradise that invites you to touch, feel, and relax. A simple shelf holds a curated selection of books and a steaming cup of coffee - a gentle reminder that here, time slows down.
The Cheshire Cat Motel is more than just a place to rest your head; it's a destination that captures the imagination. It's a tribute to the quirky and the quaint, the simple and the sophisticated. It's a place where you can find a piece of tomorrow in the nostalgia of today.
As the sun sets on the Gold Coast, The Cheshire Cat Motel stands out as a beacon of comfort and style. It’s a reminder that some places, much like the fabled cat itself, carry a touch of magic.
