Michele
The room was clean and within walking distance to the shops and restaurants. Thoughtful appliances in the room (i.e. coffee machine). If anything, the decor in the room was a little outdated and the room felt dark. Aircon worked well.
Debra
There were cooking facilities which were good, but no oil or salt. A lot of the pans did not work on the induction. The location was convenient and the staff were helpful, providing a cot for us on request.
Deborah
What a unique place !!
This is a proper vintage 1960s motel
That being said it was one of the cleanest places we have stayed in on our 3 week road trip
It had everything we needed and a very comfortable bed. We chose the king size Bed the linens on it were fab.
The bathroom is dated like the building itself but once again spotlessly clean and perfectly functional
The owners who were very friendly brought us some fresh milk and home made cookies
Unfortunately we arrived late so did not see the outside facilities
Excellent value for money
Would definitely stay again

Only stayed 1 night en route to NSW, but staff were friendly and family room was clean and very convenient. Decor was charmingly a little old school, reminded me of motels from when I was a kid. Our room with adjoining bedroom slept 7 (we had 5).
Motel provided milk and cookies on arrival and there's a Woollies just up the road.

Good location. Noisy fridge and bathroom fan. Bouncy bed that was like sleeping on a trampoline. Had an issue with the TV / internet connection which wasn’t resolved despite raising with the owner at the office.
No noise from other units which was a positive and able to park in front of the unit which was also good.

The room was outdated. The floor had tiles which felt industrial. The furniture and facilities were just too outdated for me to feel relaxed here. The heater didn't work but they came and fixed it. I can't really sleep at motels due to the beds and pillows. I'm much happier on Marriott or Hilton beds but this was my only option on a stopover on my drive to the next big city.
Allan
Sandbar is an older style motel within walking distance to central Lakes Entrance including hotels and restaurants. What sets it apart is that it is very thoughtfully fitted out and hence has a very welcoming and homely atmosphere. It was very clean and very well maintained. It was very reasonably priced and represented excellent value for money, as witnessed by the fact that it was fully booked on a quiet week day. It was a very pleasant surprise and is highly recommended
Ghee Kuan Dianna
Location was perfect! And we liked the warm hospitality from the service staff
raymond
Room Clean The Manager was very helpful We didn't have breakfast. Parking was good,right outside our room .I would recommend this Motel.
Fiona
A great-sized room with a lovely kitchenette. The aircon/heater was in a weird spot but we cranked it up high enough to eventually warm the room up.
It was nice to have a shower with a door (as opposed to showers that only have 1 screen and allow the water to splash all over the bathroom floor!) And the toiletries were lovely.

Peter
Wonderful place to stay. Great setup and are sorry to be on a limited timeline as it’d be a great multi day stopover. Make sure to visit Buchan Caves and of course spend time on the beach.
Len
Nice big comfortable rooms that are clean. The bed was a bit soft for my liking but still managed a good sleep. Shower could be better especially if it was a newer hand held type.Plenty of towels and soap. Came with a Nespresso coffee maker.
Yuan
Really exceeded our expectations. Reception staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the whole check-in process was smooth.
The room was extremely clean and smelled really fresh when we walked in. Bed was comfortable and everything felt well looked after.
Also surprisingly quiet at night with pretty good soundproofing, so we had a great sleep.
Overall a really comfortable stay and would definitely come back.

Melanie
Great location, friendly staff, dated, but clea n room. Plenty of towels and even a nespreso coffee machiche with two coffee pods in the two room family room. Expedia says 1 bedroom sleeps 7 with 3 Large Single Beds and 1 Single Bed. It actually has 2 bedrooms one with 2 double beds and a double and a single in the main open plan room.
Gorkem
Room was in good condition, Parking was also available in front of your room
Lynore
When we arrived we were greeted by friendly and helpful management. The home made biscuits wete w lovely treat and touch forvour welcome. Whilst the floor coverings were tired they were clean. Unfortunately the fridge needed to be defrosted so we were unable to freeze our freezer blocks for our esky. The parking was right outside our room making it easy to unload and reload our luggage. We have no hesitation in recommending this motel to anyone needing a quiet and honely stay. Many thanks to the management.

The family room had a main room and another bedroom attached. Beds were enough for 7 to sleep. Modern large TVs in both rooms. Complete dinnerwares including knife & chopping board. Although no kitchenette, there was a microwave, sink and fridge. U could use the bbq provided outside to cook. There was even one of those Nespresso machine. The kids enjoyed the pool. All in all, a good short stay for us.

Kevin
Owner was a very nice man and very helpful. Cookies and milk on checkin. Had a good visit with others in the common area outside in the evening. Tile, carpet and bathroom in our room is due for a refresh but it was a comfortable nights stay and a great location. Thanks to the owner and staff :)
Darren
The room was nice and comfortable, pleasant, and the homemade cookie was a nice touch. However, I was staying due to business and despite asking for a tax invoice to be emailed (need to claim expenses) whilst I was there, a message sent through wotif, and an email direct through their website, I haven't received a week later. Heard nothing at all.

Elizabeth
The room was clean, bed was comfortable and the kitchenette and had everything we needed to make breakfast, including two Nespresso pods for coffee. Lots of instant also available. Plush towels were lovely. The bathroom was very basic but clean. Internet was so slow as to be unusable during our stay. Don’t know if that was typical or not. Easy walking distance to restaurants and grocery store.

Clean spacious room with parking convenient at front of room . Very friendly and accommodating staff who went the extra mile with the homemade baked cookies . Would definitely stay again and recommend. The only thing was the tv had no signal but that’s not sandbars fault .

Easy stroll to the main shopping area on the Esplanade, and 10-15 minutes walk to the footbridge and beach. Staff were helpful and the room was clean and well-presented. Parked right in front of the door to the room. Would stay here again.
Barb
Very disappointed with the motel. Stayed here two years ago. Lovely couple made us so welcome BUT it has now changed hands.
The room was ok ish. Bed clean. Needed a good vacuum. Decor old and out of date.
No milk supplied or tea towel and wettex.
Outside of the property was run down and
messy. Gutters full of grass and lawn over grown.
If we hadn’t paid we would not have stopped. We were the only guests.
Don’t bother booking here.

Sorry but this accommodation was a let down, they have put a lot of effort into trying to make it homely but it just dropped the ball in a few places.
The toilet was not clean and it was the worst bed ive slept on in years

Ideal room & nice touches
Perfect stay, rooms clean, tidy & bed comfy with great linen & duvet. The little touches of homemade cookies, welcome note and the weather for the next day with chocolates was a great touch. I have stayed in a number of places in Lakes, and this one is so far my favorite so will definitely be returning.

Easy to find in a good location with so many thoughtful finishing touches, including welcomes cookies and weather info for the following day.
Unfortunately the weather wasn't kind to us but we still managed to walk to the beach and we will return if we come back to Australia

Such a happy, welcoming motel! From the beaming friendly staff on reception to the home made cookies in our room and the chocolates on the bed! Lots of little homely touches around the room, I especially loved the native animal pictures. We also enjoyed sitting up in the comfy bed watching complimentary Netflix on the massive tv!
Thanks for having us!

Nice place to rest for the night! Staff were helpful and even left a couple of cookies in the room upon arrival with a lovely little welcome note. The room was clean and free parking onsite right outside it was great. The bed wasn't particularly comfortable as you could feel all the springs and any slight movement, but manageable for one night. Good location walkable to town / beach, but far enough that the surrounding area was quiet.

Was very refreshing to stay in a “family” run motel - they certainly gave you the personal treatment & little extras - will hope to stay there again soon 👍 definitely give them the thumbs up 👍

Had a lovely overnight stay in Sandbar hotel on route to Sydney. Friendly staff at check in and little extras like cookies, personal hand written note and little gifts to take with you were an added touch. Facilities in room were perfect and bed very comfortable for an overnight stay. Room well equipped if you want to make breakfast or light meals.
Michelle
For a last minute booking, we were pleasantly surprised. It was affordable, clean, with a comfortable bed, pillows and linen. The added touches of homemade cookies with a handwritten note, face cloths for makeup removal and a hair wrap,were so appreciated as was the surprisingly affordable mini bar.

You can tell it’s an older motel but it was a wonderful place to stay. It’s easy to see the care and thoughtfulness in the design of the room and the little extras like homemade cookies on arrival ☺️

Pleasant stay
Room was very clean and bed very comfortable. Greeted with home made cookies and nice note. Very pleasant if anything was requested. Within walking distance to the beach and town. Really enjoyed our stay. A little dated but that’s fine. It was clean and comfortable. That’s what matters. Very nice people.

The motel welcome us with a surprised home made cookies. So gratedful for the little gift.Great way to win more customers!
Tableware are well chosen just as the expresso coffee machine, feeling home away from home...
There are plenty of dining options close by .
We also enjoyed the walk along the lake , right in front of the motel. The only downside is the bed size is a bit small for us.

Great stay
Although , the hotel was built in the 90’s the new owners have really made an effort to modernise the rooms . Very clean and bright good quality linen, full crockery and cutlery sets . Nespresso coffee machine, microwave, great kettle . Well worth the stay. Good location, you can walk to beach shops pub etc.

This motel is an older motel but the owners have made it cozy and clean. A little note is left welcoming you to your room with some homemade cookies. The room also includes dishware and silverware, coffee and tea as well as an nespresso machine and a kettle. Perfect room for the night.
