Retrea
Lachlan Maxwell, grandson of Bill and Lori Maxwell, came to us with a plan to reopen the family’s Great Ocean Road Resort beside the river in Anglesea. The hotel had closed during the 2020 pandemic. He wanted to relaunch it as a boutique hotel for older travellers and retirees, honouring his grandparents’ legacy without leaning on clichés or exclusivity.
We built the Retrea identity around self-care, comfort and community. It avoids the usual ocean imagery. Warm, calm colours and simple, friendly graphic shapes make the hotel feel welcoming and unpretentious, which suits guests who like a direct, no-fuss stay.
The scope covered signage and wayfinding, printed collateral, window vinyl graphics and guest materials, all drawn from one visual language so the hotel feels consistent from arrival to checkout on the Surf Coast.
