Sandpiper Motel Apollo Bay

This motel is wonderful. The location is close to town. The bed was huge, the selection of pillows was amazing. The room was perfectly clean. Check in instructions were simple. The fridge was a good size and the cutlery/utensils made it easy for us to make lunch and breakfast. There was a kettle, toaster and microwave and even a free guest laundry, washer and dryer! There was a lemon tree and apple tree on our doorstep, a giant lavender bush and lovely outdoor seating areas. The staff were friendly and the price was great. I would 100% stay here again it was just fabulous.

The rooms and toilet were large and clean. Depending on the room you get, some come with a shower curtain while some has a shower screen. Shower amenities and in room beverages were all good. Would highly recommend this as a stopover point for all those travelling along the great ocean road. The beds were rather soft for my liking but my kids were ok with it. As we arrived quite late, the self check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow. There are good eateries nearby within walking distances if you do not wish to drive over.

The room was spacious and clean. The washroom was huge (by my standards)! We reached at around 5pm, by then the staff had left office. And because we stayed only for a night, we had zero in-person interaction with staff. However, the staff left very clear instructions how to collect room keys and drop off room keys - which was great and hassle-free. We were given rooms on the ground level which was great, this means we did not have to drag our luggage up the stairs, which can be a challenge when travelling with elderly. There was a card that explains it may take a while for the air conditioning to cool the room - the air conditioning worked perfectly, so not an issue at all. The location is a walk short from where the stalls and local supermarket are, which was great. Make a visit to Apollo Bay Bakery - their pies are tasty!

We had a wonderful experience at this holiday accommodation! The property was very tidy and clean, and our room was spacious and well-equipped. The self-check-in process was incredibly easy and hassle-free, making our arrival smooth. Additionally, the hosts provided fantastic tips and recommendations for local attractions, enhancing our stay even further. Overall, we were very satisfied with our experience and highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great getaway!

It was a small unit but immaculate, clean and very comfortable. It was well equipped with a small fridge, kettle, tea, coffee and real coffee cups. A 5 min walk to the beach. Due to the photo on the website we had assumed there was ocean view from the units but there was not but the extremely close proximity to the beach was a plus. Main floor suite with parking. Also very quiet area except when other guests were walking by our door and windows. Bed was very comfortable. Unit was Small but very welcoming and clean. Nice big shower as well.
