Wish we could stay longer. We were only there for one evening. We arrived later in the evening and just grabbed our keys in front of the office, which was closed. Not an issue - there was a provided phone/whatsapp number for the staff who picked up right away and was on-site anyways. Loved the new renovations, including the new heating/lighting in the bathroom - welcome features as we visited during winter. Short ~10 min walk to the nearby restaurants, and down the street from the beach. Would stay again.

It was a short but nice stay. It appeared that in our room with the spa bath on the ground floor had some recent works done in the bathroom which looked nice. The room and surrounding area were very clean and the place was quiet but it was the off peak season.
We arrived and checked out, outside of reception operating hours but the details on how to access our room key was communicated well.

I stayed here for one night and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The bedroom was comfortable, spacious and clean. Check-in was very easy, with instructions and comms sent earlier in the day.

The location is not waterfront but very close, and walkable to the main shops.

Room as clean, well appointed, and a lovely place to lay my head down after a busy day touring the Ocean Road. Easy walk to restaurants and shops but far enough away for quiet.

We never saw any staff, keys were left outside the office. Keys were waiting for us when arriving a few minutes early. The room was very nice, had a listing of all the nearby restaurants and an area map. We were initially disturbed by a bathroom window that didn’t close all the way and the bathroom was very cold. But there was a room heater with easy to use controls that heated it up quickly. It turned out not to be an issue at all.

Lovely quiet room, private and comfortable. Sitting on the deck listening to the ocean at night - bliss. Breakfast cuppa with the birds was wonderful. An excellent venue, fast self check in and wonderful hosts. Many thanks!

One of the BEST motel we ever stayed in. Major hotels can’t beat their human less, high tech service. Well thought out of everything which made our stay amazing. THANKS to the Sandpiper Team !!

A great place to stay, clean, convenient and quiet location, close to supermarket. We were given an upgrade to a spacious renovated room upstairs. Some other renovations are going on in the property. Microwave oven, toaster, kettle and cutleries are provided adequate to have a simple meal in room. Guest laundry is available for use. Towels are nice and soft.

We only had a short overnight stay on our trip along the Ocean Road. We arrived quite late but communication with ghe staff for a late check in was excellent and we had no problems getting into our room. The room was spacious with breakfast making facilities and a small fridge. The location is great for a stop along the Ocean Road as Apollo Bay has its own lovely beachfront, restaurants and cafes.

Overall happy, but during our stay it rained and overflowing / blocked gutters from upper level coarse excessive water to drip down onto the roof above our room making it very noisy and difficult to sleep. Loose, broken tiles in hallway were also a safety hazard. Otherwise, happy with the accommodation provided at Sandpiper for the price.

Sandpiper one night stay

We booked a room with a balcony and view which was very nice.
Kid of a self service arrangement for checkin and checkout but it seems to work.
We have friends that have a cabin in Apollo Bay, so this motel is affordable and close to everything, we will return!

Check in and out was via envelope and key drop so didn’t interact with anyone which felt a bit impersonal. The reception was closed for both days we were there and a Christmas tree was still visible!

Good location for town. Room was a little tired and some outside areas needed some attention eg broken tiles in passage way. But for us biggest issue was no contact at all with any members of staff. Key picked up from box outside reception as per emailed instructions and returned to another box on departure. Made the whole experience a bit impersonal.

Parking v tight. Had to park in the street.

Re keys to pick up on arrival- not sure having my name written on an envelope for all to view is a safe and discreet method. Perhaps all unit keys in envelopes could be in a locked box pinpad with code forwarded to people who booked units.

Thankyou for asking

Terrific position, but disappointing room. No cupboard or shelves to put clothing. King bed is too singles pushed together, which moved apart during the night. Rats in roof which kept us awake with their gnawing within the ceiling, which might explain the off smell when we entered, thus needing to open all doors. TV only has movies, so we couldn't watch the news, Big Bash or tennis. There were no instruction booklets on how to use the TV or Aircon. Overpriced.
