My wife love this place , hosts Natasha & Paul very friendly . definitely will return again .

We recently stayed as a family of 4 in a beach view lodge. We booked our accommodation directly and received complimentary wine and chocolates, always a great touch! Not much to look at from the outside but lovely inside! There's a gas fireplace and you can see the ocean from inside the bathroom/shower or you can close the privacy screen. Close to town as well. The main difference between the top lodges and the ocean view lodges is the location. The top lodges are located higher up the hill. Still a fantastic view from either!

If you like to stay in a wonderful place near Apollo Bay, Great Ocean Road, then you are here at the right place. Wonderful ocean view, very nice villas and and a most lovely landlady. You can here have a great time near the village, but very quiet and with a beach without people. Thankyou Lili for your best support! Doris & Peter

The hotel is not far from the center of Apollo town, just a few minutes drive away. Because it was Christmas Eve, many restaurants and shops in the town were closed, and the supermarkets were not closed. Free parking The front desk of the hotel is on the first floor. It is a Chinese boy with a very good attitude. He gave us a map and showed us where to see the scenic spots. After checking the name, he gave the key to check in without deposit. The balcony and bathroom are not small, and the bedroom is a bit small, with only one large bed, and can only accommodate 2 people. The room looks out to the sea, there are refrigerators, microwaves, hot water kettles, towels, bathing supplies, no kitchen can not cook, this is a bit inconvenient Check out at 10 in the morning, put the key on the coffee table, and have free wifi

The hotel is on the edge of the Great Ocean Road. It used to be convenient. Next to it is a small town that can be supplemented with some daily necessities. The service attitude of the hotel was relatively poor. We booked the room. When we arrived at the hotel, it was more than 9:00 in the evening. The front desk of the hotel was closed. We called and asked for the procedure. The receptionist made a half-day complaint and said that we disturbed him to sleep. There was no quilt in the room, the weather was a little cold, and the air conditioning in the room was not strong. There was no way to be familiar with the surroundings. At this time, there was no way to change places and make a mess.

My wife and I recently stayed one night at the Sandpiper Motel, Apollo Bay in a King Room with Hill View (and you could glimpse the ocean from the verandah). I would classify the motel as a typical Australian rural motel. The room was on the first floor and was very spacious and included a microwave, plates and cutlery. The bed was comfortable. There is a free guest laundry with a washing machine and dryer which can be used by guests from 08:00 to 22:00. The hotel still uses individual soaps and shampoos (rather than dispensers) and includes a smart bathroom mirror. An interesting touch is that all the linen is monogrammed with the hotel's name. Prior to check in you are sent a text advising of your room number and the room key is collected from an envelope (with your name on it) placed outside the reception area, so we had no interaction with reception staff. At $122 for the night we thought the Sandpiper Motel was good value and would be happy to return. TC

I’m at a complete loss as to why this place has a review score in the 7’s. It deserves much higher. It’s fantastic. I am continuously travelling in Australia, and I am always on the lookout for unique places. This place (as far as I’m concerned) offered the best views of Apollo Bay. It wasn’t on the beach. It’s sort of off the road a bit, on acreage. BUT it’s elevated and the ocean views are fantastic. The rooms are spacious and clean and priced for differing budgets. It’s a guest house, so some of the areas you walk through are a bit cluttered. BUT. I think some people live here all the time, and, in a guest house, if the main communal areas are tidy (which these were), you get my vote every time. Just fantastic and definitely a ‘go to’ place for the future

We booked a family room as well as the twin room with balcony. Both are very clean & have everything we need. Very comfy & quite spacious. Lovely bathroom & great shower. Not listed in facilities though both rooms have a microwave as well as bar fridge, kettle, toaster, hair dryer. Also mugs, glasses, plates & cutlery. 2 towels for every person (8 in family room), bath mats, spare doona. Only saying this as I had read a couple of reviews here saying bath mats were missing. Huge supply of toiletries nicely presented as well as tea, cappuccino sachets, sugar & a couple small long life milks. Large flat screen TV in both rooms (2 in the family room). Location is great, only a minutes walk to the Main Street. Bucket of umbrellas at the font door for guests is a nice touch too. Balcony view is great! To be honest, after reading reviews I was getting a little worried however we are more than happy with our rooms which have barely a fault so I thought I’d better post this update. So far the only fault I can see is a bit of damage on the bottom of the bathroom door however this doesn’t affect our stay at all. 5 stars from me & my family. The owners here have obviously taken note of past reviews.

We arrived late at 7PM and the receptionist gone. But they are very organised and no hassle at all. Love it. They left the message on my email, with a code number to take the key in the motel. They also left the phone number which I could reach to the receptionist directly. Room is clean, quite, spacious. Parking lot is easy. Love love love this place.
