We didn't have anywhere booked when we arrived at Apollo Bay, so had a look around a few Hotels and Motels but Sandpiper Motel was by far the best choice. Nicely looked after, clean, friendly. You get a fridge, toaster, kettle, cutlery, bowls, mugs in your room, so you can prepare your own breakfast. On checking in you get a... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Sandpiper Motel in Apollo Bay. It is a perfect stopping point along the road and very convenient to the center of town. The beach is only a short walk away if you plan on hanging around Apollo Bay for a little while (which I recommend doing!) The owner's are very pleasant, helpful, and... More

We arrived this hotel around 9 pm. almost closing. The manager warmly welcome us and tell us where to buy some fast food while the restraunts all closed.rooms are clean and wall are painted to light yellow which makes it very warm and cozy.And in the yard you could fine lots of lavendar, very beautiful.

We stayed one night at the Sandpiper Motel while driving the Great Ocean Road. I think the website for this hotel undersells it - we hadn't been expecting much and were very surprised and impressed with it - possibly a hidden gem on the Great Ocean Road? We arrived in the late afternoon and had a friendly welcome, and check-in... More

We stayed here while on tour of Australia's fabulous Great Ocean Road. Booking over the internet is less expensive than calling the hotel directly. We were never told our double room was a handicap room either at booking or checkout. No big deal but if you are thinking of a nice steam shower, be prepared for no enclosures to the... More

Arrived tired after taking longer on GOR than expected! Glad for the friendly greeting at reception. The room was fine for my requirements and excellent value for the price. I have stayed in better rooms but paid far more - the decor in the room is not as bright as some I have used and I think that can give... More
