This was a great overnight stop along the Great Ocean Road. Is certainly set up for longer stays too. Slightly more firm bed, but still comfortable enough for a good sleep!

Sandpiper one night stay

We booked a room with a balcony and view which was very nice. Kid of a self service arrangement for checkin and checkout but it seems to work. We have friends that have a cabin in Apollo Bay, so this motel is affordable and close to everything, we will return!
A room with a view!

Nice functional motel in a good position to walk to beach and restaurants. Check in and out was via envelope and key drop so didn’t interact with anyone which felt a bit impersonal. The reception was closed for both days we were there and a Christmas tree was still visible!

Good location for town. Room was a little tired and some outside areas needed some attention eg broken tiles in passage way. But for us biggest issue was no contact at all with any members of staff. Key picked up from box outside reception as per emailed instructions and returned to another box on departure. Made the whole experience a bit impersonal.

Parking v tight. Had to park in the street. Re keys to pick up on arrival- not sure having my name written on an envelope for all to view is a safe and discreet method. Perhaps all unit keys in envelopes could be in a locked box pinpad with code forwarded to people who booked units. Thankyou for asking

We had a lovely time. The Sandpiper is just the right distance from the shops, cafes, restaurants and the beach to mean we could park the car on Monday - safely off the street - and not drive it again until Friday! Friendly, helpful staff. Clean, comfortable room Perfect for our week on the beach Thank you
