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!

Nice functional motel in a good position to walk to beach and restaurants.
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!

We had a lovely time. The Sandpiper is just the right distance from the shops, cafes, restaurants and the beach to mean we could park the car on Monday - safely off the street - and not drive it again until Friday!
Friendly, helpful staff.
Clean, comfortable room
Perfect for our week on the beach
Thank you

a nice stay in transit and stop along the great ocean road. Many nice restaurants around so you won't afraid you will be starving there.
