Excellent, clean and friendly staff at Sandpiper Motel. One thing that surprised me was only one used toilet roll was hanging there, no other ones, maybe I had to search somewhere but in that sort of hotel class, I dont really have to search, it should be there. Everthing elses was there as the description showed. Will definately come again... More

Had a great stay at Sandpiper on the weekend. Great location and very close to all the shops and restaurants as well as being mid way of that wonderful beach that Apollo Bay has. Rooms were super clean and tidy and due to the location is very quiet. Would recommend this place to anyone More

Good things about motel very close to shops and beach, room was spotless, The owners were very friendly and made you feel welcome on arrival. More

The room was clean and comfortable. The check-in process was quick. The spa-bathroom was huge. However, it was the most expensive of 5 places we had stayed in a week. Whilst there was tea/coffee/sugar and milk, there were no little extras like the other B&Bs/motels we stayed in. The biggest surprise was the complete lack of bathroom cabinet/shelving. Our 'deluxe... More

Spiders will always be a problem at this time of year and in such a location as we enjoy at Sandpiper. It's part of our regular routine to check for cobwebs (and thus spiders) all round the motel premises, inside and out. We obviously need to get back to that routine. More
