The June MotelRosé-tinted roadside motel
This midcentury motor lodge was transformed into a pastel wine-country hangout where check-in starts with a chilled glass of rosé.
“you might recognize the adorable June Motel in this area—it was featured on the popular Netflix show ‘Motel Makeover.’”
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The June Motel stands just outside the town of Picton, with views over a protected bay, and its 16 rooms are stylish and photogenic in a playful mod-bohemian way.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Picton Bay sits across the road, and the town's Main Street shops and local wineries are a short drive away.
The rooms
Bedrooms pair rattan furniture with retro wallpaper, and upper-level rooms open onto private balconies overlooking Picton Bay.
The yoga deck
An outdoor yoga deck sits in the Bohemian forest behind the motel for seasonal classes among the trees.
Lobby Bar
The bar serves craft beer and local wine across a curved pink counter with wicker stools and checkered tiles.
How it began
April Brown and Sarah Sklash bought the rundown Sportsman Motel in 2016, keeping its vintage 'do not gut fish' signs as decor.
