We arrrived on a Friday evening without a reservation but were warmly welcomed by the new owners who couldn't have been more friendly and helpful - providing directions to shops, restaurants and most importantly, where to see and photograph koalas which was a must for me. Our room was clean, quiet and modern and well priced. Our only regret was... More

Stayed for 1 night on our way to GOR. arrived in the late afternoon and the check in was fast. the staff was helpful in providing and explaining to us on the list of restaurants in Apollo Bay which we can have our meals. if you want a quiet place to stay, this would be the place. it is walking...

The staff are very good, the room was good but the bathroom needed some work with paint coming off in the corners and mould beginning to form there. The wifi was free, which is a big plus, but was very intermitent, only able to use about 20% of the time that we tried.

We stayed here for the Great Ocean Road marathon and it was one of the few places available by the time we booked. So we had low expectations but this place way exceeded them! It was very clean and modern and comfortable. The lady we dealt with was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again and recommend... More

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

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

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

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

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
