We had an overnight at Sandridge which for us was a small quiet accommodation en route to Geelong.
The motel is centrally and just behind the main road and seaside village.
Our room was above the reception level, accessed from a side street that had quite a steep incline. The car park was reasonably level but the spaces for vehicles were a bit too tight.
A couple of steps down to a passage and balcony and the room itself.
Well built and very quiet room with good space. We could see a strip of the sea but it was largely obscured by the roof of the lower level. We found it to be just what we needed for our trip.

A very nice property for a one night stay in Lorne. The power went out during some terrific storms but was restored within a few minutes. Kudos to the team that made that happen because otherwise it would have been a cold night in that room! Bed was comfortable but the bathroom was a bit chilly. Plenty of hot water though. It was nice to have a dedicated parking space.

Certainly nothing like in the online photos. Boasts sea views but from our room only if you were over 6ft and could look over the top of the roof and airconditioning vents. Although very clean, check in staff not interested, room dated. Place meant for suitcases had microwave. Bathroom very old but clean. We have spent 10 days travelling to a different town each day and this was definitely the worse and most expensive.

Great access to the shops and beach.

Just a few small things about the apartment – the room smelt musty – there was no hand towel provided for basin area. The lock on the Veranda door was quite hard to open – the tap on the Hand basin was quite stiff and a bit tricky to adjust. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

This property is very old and needs a renovation, especially the bathroom (the water temperature in the shower is hard to adjust). Overpriced for the poor condition of the room. I would look elsewhere if staying in the area. Location is good and it served its purpose for a one night stay, hence 2 stars.

The property is on Great Ocean Road in the heart of the Lorne beachfront. It has easy access to restaurants, shopping, and the ocean. Surprisingly, it is quiet after 9:30 p.m. in January—a very family-friendly area. The staff at the motel were very friendly. The room was spacious, with added touches of silverware and real wine glasses. The finishings were a little tired but it did not detract from the comfort of our stay.

Far exceeded expectations, would stay again!

Although the rooms have had a low-cost makeover, they are still clean, presentable, and very comfortable. Just not … posh. The location is fantastic, service great, and the cockatoos polite (mostly). LOL
This property far exceeded our expectations and we’d stay here again for sure.
Our only suggestion for improvement is to get rid of the carpet and put in a hard surface floor which won’t keep odors.

Excellent location to explore the beach, shops, and dining options, everything was very walkable. The location of the hotel is excellent. We had a queen room, #7 with ocean view and enjoyed the lovely sunrise over the ocean from our balcony. The hotel was older than we expected however, the rooms were very clean, the bedding was good and the beds were comfortable! The view from the small deck was a full oceanfront view. The only issue was the wifi. The signal is very weak and you could not stream anything using the internet connection. Everything else was great!

Sandridge - Lorne - the ONLY place to stay !

Great great great - stayed here before MANY years ago, and always wanted to come back - we did at last !

We had a few days, this is a perfect location, as you are right in the main street of Lorne (some rooms are above the shops, others a bit further back). We had one of the ocean view rooms, king size bed, room / bathroom SPOTLESS, it had a balcony where you could sit out on and watch the day past, be it people in the park opposite, or out to the ocean - BLISS ! (especially with the obligatory glass of wine in hand !).
If you want it quiet, the sliding glass door knocks out all noises (even with it full open - how we had it every day - it is not really a noisy place).

There is on-site parking, 3 days and never used the car - lots of walking - be it to the pier, along the elevated ocean front walking track, or the opposite direction to the old swing bridge (which has a cafe on the beach end ~ a good lunch spot !).

Many different places to eat, and of course you have the Lorne Pub just a few min walk away (always nice out on the deck on a sunny day). Also enough different shops to keep you amused.

Online staff were great, as was the desk staff - happy and willing to help as needed.

Pillows great - nice bedding - clean bathroom - clean room - cold fridge - coffee and tea stuff - toaster - cutlery, plates, glasses etc.

Overall - a perfect place for our 3 nights away !

Thank you Sandridge !
We WILL be back again one day !

It was lovely sitting out on the balcony even with the busyness of the street. Room was spacious. It was not so fun to have to wash crockery and cutlery in the bathroom basin and there was no full length mirrow, though there was a walk-in wardrobe with enough hangars and that was nice.

Yhis was our second time staying at The Sandridge Motel.
The motel is right in the heart of Lorne, with a very quick walk across the road, and you will be right on the front beach. It is located very close to shops and restaurants, there is no need to move the car once you arrive!

It's clean

We feel that the condition of the room didn't match the price we paid. It was very noisy at night when people next room took showers or walked around the balcony.

However, the location is good, closed to businesses.
