Sandpiper Motel Apollo Bay- Great Ocean Road

We stayed here for two nights as we explored the area and were very happy with our base. Good value, spacious room, super clean, clear and timely communication about check-in procedures, wifi etc. It was cold and the heater worked impeccably as did the hot water. The fridge and basic set of cutlery and crockery was handy and all appliances worked well. The bed was comfy. We had a room with ocean view and a tree full of birds in front of our window which we greatly enjoyed. The beach and the shops in town are within walking distance. There’s no staff on site but we didn’t miss that. We were very happy with our stay.

What a pleasant experience all around! Rolled into the area after 6 on a Wednesday during non-peak season and booked the room aight unseen because they were the first place to answer the phone. But since our camping spot in Forrest was rained out we were grateful just to get a place to stay. Absolutely beautiful room, fantastic location and super accommodating staff. Loved it so much we wish we were staying longer and will definitely be back again.

Beautiful accommodation at an affordable price. Arrived late but the check in was easy as was the check out. The room was spacious and had a modern shower, bed, and AC. I found it very quiet and scenic.

Great experience here. It was in a perfect location where you were so close to the beach and the main strip of shops but far away enough that it was peaceful and quiet. Room was clean and spacious. Easy self-check in.

Im sorry but after being woken up multiple times during the night by pipe noise due to other people i guess just turning on taps in their rooms for water. Never heard this before in my life. It was like a jack hammer going off in my rooms walls. At first I thought it was construction noise. Which I thought that would be odd at 7pm on a Friday night. My wife has emailed reception asking for a 50% refund which I think is beyond fair. I actually have video of the noise. And no contacting a non existent reception staff is not on your mind when being woken numerous times over the night. Getting back to sleep is normally what a normal person does. And who would I complain to? When it was a one night stay. And we departed early in the morning. My advice to you. I understand you are trying to save money by not staffing reception like a normal establishment would. Is keep in mind the money you believe you are saving, is probably costing you more overall through customer dissatisfaction and the loss of their being a face to the business upon arrival or even departure. Regards.

Great accommodation and good location to the shops. The best amenities (fridge, microwave, toaster and jug) and friendly staff. Comfortable beds and free guest laundry. Easy check in and out and wifi worked well. Great value!

Fantastic stay, quite clean and well maintained and above all, right next to the beach. Checkin and checkout was straightforward. We particularly loved the pillows and Michelle had been quite helpful in getting us the model number.

Good location. Very clean rooms , spacious and nice bathroom with great light. However very poor sound insulation. We got waken up at 6am because of the alarm coming from the room next to us. We could literally hear EVERYTHING. Upgrade of the room insulation would be to consider or maybe people should be mindful of their neighbours… It ruins your stay when you can not have a good night of sleep…

Stayed here 3 months ago, the day after my stay they tried to charge me another $200, now three months later they are attempting to fraudulently charge over $400 on my credit card. WATCH OUT FOR FRAUD!!! If you stay here they will charge your account myltiple times, you will have to keep chhecking your cc account every month!

Good, modern hotel very conveniently located within walking distance of Apollo bay. A great central point for exploring the Otways. The owners were very friendly and the huge spa wonderful! Slight negative, the walls are very thin and you can hear people coming and going, particularly children, early in the morning.

Great room for the budget price during the week. Reasonably modern decor with free wifi and iPod docking station in the room. Balcony has views if the beach. Its only a stones throw to the beach with plenty of cafes and other eateries to choose from.

If you're on a budget but still want something decent and nice, I highly recommend the Sandpiper Motel. We stayed there for one night and were absolutely happy with our stay. The room was big enough for 3 people, it was clean and had all the necessary amenities. There wasn't any noise during the night and you'll find heaps of free parking either on site or on the street. The big pro was that it's only a 5-10 minute walk to all the restaurants and shops so you can enjoy a few glasses of wine in the evening without having to drive. Great value!

Great room looking out to the beach. Loved hearing the waves during the night. Clean rooms and at a good price. Friendly staff. Close to the shops.

We loved the sandpiper. We stayed in room 4. It was clean and modern. The linen was clean and crispy. We were given fresh milk for coffee and free wifi. The room had great heating, great tv. We also appreciated the toaster and basic cutlery and plates which we used for our snacks. When we arrived beautiful red birds that looked like velvet with blue tails were out feeding and they were glorious. I also saw an Aussie echidna walking down the road as we entered apollo bay. We did not have a view however we could still hear the ocean waves crashing on the beach front overnight which was very cool.
