Peppers Marysville Resort & Spa has appointed Klaus Kinateder as General Manager, bringing more than two decades of hotel experience across Accor, St Giles Hotels and prominent independent properties to the award-winning regional retreat in Victoria.
Kinateder previously served as Resident Manager at Tank Stream Hotel Sydney, where working across operations, sales and guest experience in one of Australia’s most competitive hotel markets shaped his hands-on approach to running a property.
The 100-room Peppers Marysville Resort & Spa, which joined the Shakespeare Property Group portfolio in 2021, is located 90 minutes from Melbourne in Victoria’s Yarra Ranges.
The resort also offers purpose-built conference and event facilities suited to a wide range of business events for up to 350 guests.
Kinateder says the facilities combined with the location provide a strong base for corporate retreats and conferences.
“The resort has proven particularly popular with local government groups, finance organisations and forestry preservation organisations,” he said. “Car clubs and agricultural groups are also drawn to our expansive outdoor areas across 20 acres and our 120 on-site car spaces, which provide suitable space for vehicle displays, demonstrations and large-scale gatherings.”
Kinateder’s appointment comes at an exciting time for Peppers Marysville Resort & Spa, which was recently recognised as Regional Accommodation of the Year at the 2025 Victorian Accommodation Awards for Excellence.
