Everything was pristine. We stayed 4 nights in the family unit. The attention and services were amazingly good. The location is superb, a quiet place with everything at a walking distance, no trafic noise but you can hear the ocean. Kids were delighted. The view may not be the best but you can walk 50m and you´re on the beach... more

We spent one night here during a 5 day trip along the Great Ocean Road. Like many great road trips - this one needs to be savoured. You can do it in two days, but you would miss so much. The welcome at Sandpiper motel is great. The owner, who's name I've forgotten (sorry), is a great traveller herself and... more

My husband and I were looking for a decent place to stay on our drive along The Great Ocean Road. Finding this decent looking motel among a multitude of chintzy, over-priced accommodation options gave me hope that accommodation along the GOR is not just full of owners trying to fleece the tourists for the least amount of effort on their... more

My partner and I booked one night at the Sandpiper Motel to break up our drive of the Great Ocean Road. We booked the Deluxe Spa Room on Wotif.com for AU$140, and I must say it was just what we needed after a long day of driving. Our check in was smooth and the owner suggested restaurants as it was... more

We stayed one night at this motel and even though I read all the comments, I was still disappointed. The view, isn't. Well maybe if you stand out on the balcony and try to see through a line of beach trees way to the right. Even on the second floor there are issue of visual intrusion from the property across... more

The Sandpiper seemed to be one of the more modern and better appointed motels/hotels in Apollo Bay. Located a short walk from the main front, it's great for getting to the beach or making your way back from the restaurants and bars. The rooms are well appointed, although lacking a phone. There was a curious lack of storage space though... more

We thought this small motel complex was great. It is very stylish, modern, handily located to town (walk) and in a quiet area. There was good off street parking, an attractive, spacious lobby, with free internet access, and our check in was handled in a friendly and efficient manner. We had viewed their very detailed informative web site when making... more

I stayed here in February 2007 with my son and his fiancee, renting two 'Ocean View Type 1' rooms for two nights. The motel itself is fresh, clean and interestingly designed. The location is handy for Apollo Bay beach and the local shops. Our rooms were spacious and comfortable. The only pity is that the 'ocean view' was oversold as... more

Excellent place to stay, The motel is about 7 mins walk to the main eating/shopping area, 5 mins from the supermarket and 3 mins from the beach. We booked the ocean view room and were very pleased. The rooms had been recently refurbished (or at least seemed that way), the bathroom was spotless and the room serviced to a high... more
