This was my first stop on the Great Ocean Road. Perfect location just before the main stretch. Super friendly& helpful reception. I had a spider problem & they were helpful in providing bug spray. Even offered to swap rooms. Cozy, comfortable & clean room. Had a good nights rest. Lots of food options & even a convenience store within waking distance.

Thank you for your very positive review. Location is our best kept secret. Five minutes walk from all the pubs and restaurants, but ocean sounds and birdlife to serenade guests. The rooms were recently updated to ensure a good night's sleep in a colourful and relaxing room. And we think we have the best showers anywhere. Please recommend Sandpiper to family and friends.

Would highly recommend Sandpiper to anybody looking for a place in Apollo Bay. Staff were super friendly, room was very clean, close to everything. Will definitely stay here next time we're back in Apollo Bay.

This is a lovely and cheery little motel just on the edge of Apollo Bay. The lobby is bright and beachy and rooms follow suit. The service at the reception was perfect, giving us an upgrade because a room was available. We were given helpful information on the local scene too. As far as the room itself, we had a nice room with fluffy white towels and a balcony. Considering the price, I felt it was a tip notch value as well. One thing to note, there are scads of birds around so you'll get a wake-up serenade.

Lovely place, well situated and very friendly reception staff. An ideal driving distance from Melbourne airport as well for the first stop of our trip along the Geat Ocean Road. Very well equipped rooms, Apollo Bay is great and there are lots of nice places to eat within easy walking distance of the Sandpiper.

Apollo Bay is an ideal stopping point after a day exploring the first half of the region. And the number and quality of pubs and restaurants provides plenty of choice for dinner and breakfast. Thanks for your very positive review of Sandpiper and our service. We are in a great spot, ocean sounds and birds, but close to all the services. It's our best kept secret. And the rooms score highly after the recent upgrades. Enjoy the rest of your vacation.

Located a short walking distance of the main town, this hotel represents excellent value for money. Bronwyn and John, the managers were friendly and informative. The room was clean and highly recommend this hotel. The only negative we experienced was that the patrons on the first floor were noicy and came through the room which was rather annoying.

Thankyou for your positive review of Sandpiper and it's good to see you enjoyed your stay in spite of the noisy guests upstairs. I am guessing they must have been on the balcony. It's disappointing that you had this interference with your stay. On the brighter side, our managers always add to the experience at Sandpiper. They have an unswerving dedication to guest satisfaction; it's our highest priority. Thanks also for recommending Sandpiper.
