Style On the money
Setting Stately red-brick bank
Two of our favourite sports, shopping and sleeping, combine at Mollisons hotel in Kyneton, a designer den in an old bank where everything you see is for sale.

Food and drink at Mollisons

Hotel restaurant
There's no restaurant or bar, but Mollisons is just a short hop from the gourmet hub of Piper Street, home to cosy cafés, note-worthy restaurants and organic produce markets, so dining out is de rigueur. If you've booked an apartment, cook up a storm using local ingredients in the fully stocked kitchen.

In the know
Our favourite rooms
The polished wood floors, cow-hide rugs, antique furniture and stylish lamps look as though they've been lifted straight from an interiors mag. King Room One is our pick for privacy, and King Room Two scores points for its three walls of windows (exhibitionists take note) and generous deck. If you're travelling with a troop, opt for the Two-bedroom Apartment, complete with light-filled living room and a deep street-view veranda.
Packing tips
Bring an empty suitcase so you can snap up scarves, jewellery and homewares in Mollisons' ground-floor shop. Lip gloss is a good tip for fending off red-wine lips (the local drops are seriously swillable).
Also
If you're a fan of Deb Myers' dreamy interior design, it's easy to recreate the Mollisons look at home. Here, everything from the handmade soap to the king-size bed is for sale. Now that's what we call a maxibar.
