About this space

Sitting pretty on the iconic Gold Coast Highway, The Mysa Motel brings retro charm into the now with a bold, boutique aesthetic that’s both nostalgic and future-focused. This seven-room shoot location leans all the way into its vintage motel roots—complete with a sparkling pool, breezy pastel palette, and strong Slim Aarons energy—while delivering a polished, eco-conscious experience for content creators, brand teams, and filmmakers.

With a layout designed around passive principles and a self-check-in system, The Mysa is a modern nod to mid-century beach culture. It’s sustainable, photogenic, and incredibly shootable from every angle. The outdoor spaces are where the visual story starts—anchored by the central pool area, framed in soft neutrals, white breezeblocks, and lush tropical greenery. Think sun-soaked lounging, statement tiles, and light that holds beautifully all day.

Inside, each of the seven rooms is colour-blocked with intention, offering a curated set of backdrops that feel cinematic and styled without ever being fussy. Every zone—from the motel signage to the courtyard pathways—has been designed with an editorial eye, making it ideal for fashion campaigns, brand content, product shoots, and video production with a retro-modern lens.

The Mysa Motel offers complete site access for full-day bookings, giving you the flexibility to shoot around the grounds, in-room, and poolside. It’s also workshop-friendly, with Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and plenty of visual interest to keep your audience engaged from start to finish.

For creatives looking for a shoot location on the Gold Coast that balances relaxed retro vibes with a crisp, shoot-ready aesthetic, The Mysa Motel delivers on every frame
