“A wonderful place to stay.”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

We stayed for only one night at Sandpiper and were sorry it was not more. If we'd known how lovely this motel was, in fact all of Apollo Bay, we would have definitely stayed more. Sandpiper is located just a block or so back from the beach. It's pretty new, super clean and modern with all the basic requirements for... More

Problem with this review?

Lots of guests regret only staying one night in Apollo Bay! We'd love them to stay for 2 or more nights. There is lots to see and do in Apollo Bay. Our website gives an indication of the attractions in and around Apollo Bay. Pay us a visit! More

“Very modern and spacious”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

Found the motel with the aid of tripadvisor reviews and enjoyed a very comfortable night back off the road and just close enough to the beach to enjoy the sound of the surf. The complex is quite new and offers good off street parking,very well decorated rooms and complimentary guest laundry facility. We enjoyed our walk to town, brought dinner... More

Although Sandpiper is not in the centre of town lots of our guests have commented on how pleasant it is to be able to take a leisurely stroll into town for a bite to eat. Apollo bay has all the facilities to enjoy a pub meal to fine dining and all the various standards in between. Why not make it... More

“Comfortable Apollo Bay”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

Our Terrace room was very well appointed and comfortable. I chose this motel as I didn't want something in the middle of town near noisy restaurants and the hotels and I was right - it was perfect. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Being new to the business, they were willing to recommend checking with the local Information Centre... More

What can i say? Very comprehensive review. They clearly loved us and our motel. We plan to try some new carpet in one of the rooms that cause us a little grief every now and then and see if that works. That will happen in the quieter months of winter. More

“ocean view room”

Reviewed 6 May 2013

My experience at Sandpiper was short and sweet. The room was clean and had all the basic amenities, including a small private balcony with a table and chairs for two. The heater/cooler worked great, and the staff was friendly. The only 'con' I had was that my internet connection was pretty weak, but it could have varied from room to... More

Great stuff! This guest clearly enjoyed our motel. We note the wifi issue and will investigate. More

“Excellent Value for Money - a gem on Appollo Bay”

Reviewed 5 May 2013

I've been to the Great Ocean Road three times now, each of them staying at different venues but this has to be the best. The room was spotless, cosy and customer service was impeccable and friendly. This coming from someone who travels a lot for work and has stayed at the best of the best hotels around the world. I... More

This guest has clearly set high standards as they travel a lot on business. It's heartening to get praise for our little motel from such a traveller. We hope he does encourage all his family and friends to visit Sandpiper. "Impeccable and friendly service". Our managers should be proud! More

“Very good accommodation!”

Reviewed 27 April 2013

Comfortable rooms, friendly and helpful staff, quiet and peaceful location, beach just across the road, walking distance to shops, short driving distance to scenic attractions. If coming this way, would stay again!

This review is consistent with a lot of others; great location, peaceful site, helpful staff, with lots of things to see and do around Apollo Bay. We like reviews like this. We hope to see them again soon. More

“Excellent stop on the Great Ocean Road”

Reviewed 25 April 2013

We came with our family and two other families and got a two bedroom apartment and an additional room. Both were clean, cosy and well appointed with comfortable bedding, adequate lighting and a clean, large ensuite toilet. Check in was quick and friendly even though we arrived after dark, although we forgot to ask for the WiFi password so we... More

Clean, comfy and well appointed is the verdict! We agree, and thanks for saying so. We try our best to make the best of what we've got. We have recently installed a new wifi service which offers free and fast connections. the next time these guests come perhaps they can try it! More

“special place”

Reviewed 21 April 2013

What a great place, spent 4 nights touring around the great ocean road and based our trip in Apollo bay. could not have picked a better motel, great position and great people. just a short walk to centre of town

Not only can you see the Ocean through the trees from an Ocean View Room, you can hear it. There is nothing better than falling to sleep listening to the ocean roll in. Very relaxing. Come and try it! More

“Wonderful Management”

Reviewed 20 April 2013

On holiday I found this wonderful little property on line. Instead of booking went in and they honored the price. The accommodations were nice and very clean. The staff was excellent. Lee Ann was great and took care of every detail. I would highly recommend this hotel. Thank Julie USA

Great to see our managers are well appreciated. Leanne and Richard have only recently joined us but they have settled in well. They take pride in their job and it shows! Well done Leanne and Richard. More

“Wonderful stay”

The managers of the property were welcoming and the 2-bed apartment was clean, comfy and great value for money. Would recommend to anyone. Apollo Bay is lovely, we stay here as part of our drive on the Great Ocean Road Trip. The trip was one of must-dos.

A perfect score on the delightometer! That's what we like to hear. Apollo Bay is great place to make your your base for a trip along the Great Ocean Road. There's a lot to see and do that suggest a couple of nights in Apollo Bay and what better place to stay that Sandpiper. More
