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 Sandpiper was a lovely place to stay. Our room was recently renovated so everything was spotless and quite modern. All basic amenities provided in the room and beds were well set up and comfortable. Loved the inclusion of pillows of different types so you could choose the type suitable for your needs. Easy check in/out with all info provided in a text on the day making it very smooth and off street parking available and easy to navigate.

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!

The sandpiper was a great place to stay with my two boys on our two day trip through the great Ocean Road. And what a surprise that we had a bit of an ocean view from the front porch. The two bedroom apartment was fabulous. The heater was great And it was an easy walk into town for dinner.
