It was definitely only very simple as described but you weren’t even able to drink water from the taps and besides going to the bar during ‘business hours’ had no other options, even a communal area to make a cup of tea would have been amazing. Doors all need a good hit of WD40! We stayed on a Sat night and I loved listening to the live music in the bar and it was great it stopped at 10.30pm.
Situated just 100 metres from Apollo Bay Beach, Sandpiper Motel Apollo Bay is a stylish modern motel on the Great Ocean Road. Each room includes free WiFi and a TV.

The room was spacious and clean. The washroom was huge (by my standards)! We reached at around 5pm, by then the staff had left office. And because we stayed only for a night, we had zero in-person interaction with staff. However, the staff left very clear instructions how to collect room keys and drop off room keys - which was great and hassle-free. We were given rooms on the ground level which was great, this means we did not have to drag our luggage up the stairs, which can be a challenge when travelling with elderly. There was a card that explains it may take a while for the air conditioning to cool the room - the air conditioning worked perfectly, so not an issue at all. The location is a walk short from where the stalls and local supermarket are, which was great. Make a visit to Apollo Bay Bakery - their pies are tasty!
Situated just one street away from the Great Ocean Road, this environmentally-friendly hostel features a rooftop terrace, 2 self-catering communal kitchens, BBQ facilities and an organic herb garden.

The facilities were clean and well maintained.
The provided resources were clean, and the rental of additional towels and linens were very cheap.
The room was minimally furnished, but this was within my expectations for a hostel. so quite nice.

Apollo Bay in the middle of Autumn is quite sleepy.
Apollo Bay in the middle of Autumn is quite sleepy. No need to book at restaurants :) and plenty of picnic spaces. The coffee shops are open and so is the distillery, which makes excellent Gin and has Happy Hour from 16:30 to 17:30.

I loved the hidden beach behind the town.
I loved the hidden beach behind the town. Its a drive away from the 12 apostles, waterfalls etc, but its still a great place to stay and look around for a bit. It was super calm and quiet but there were also streets full of people and cafees.

The beach walk is excellent and you can watch, or join in...
The beach walk is excellent and you can watch, or join in with, the surfers. There is also a very nice golf course near the marina.
If you want yo bbq there are plenty of places to just set up and go with the bbq’s ready to go.
The shops are good and the restaurants are very nice.
The town is also home to the Southern most pub in Sustralia, where you can get a very nice meal.

Went in mid Feb and it wasn’t too busy which was great. Can get cold and windy so bring some warm clothes! Lovely beach and relaxed town. Chris’s Restaurant was fantastic as a fine dining option and just a short drive away.

The location is good and close to the beach.
The location is good and close to the beach. However, the facilities lack maintenance and rooms have broken furnitures ( pictures annexed) our toilet had a large spider net in the window (inside).
Nobody showed up despite through booking email confirmation.
Not worth it. Happy to provide more details.

Beautiful beaches - be sure to walk along Marengo beach.
Beautiful beaches - be sure to walk along Marengo beach. Day trippers make lunchtime busy in town. Great fish & chips, oysters, scallops & crayfish at harbour (10% surcharge on weekends!). Good fresh fish and yummy seafood starters at fish shop. Good Italian.
The accommodation was fine for the price and the staff was pleasant and pleasing. My major concern was with a possible fire hazard as the motel was located above a restaurant. 1. NO fire exit information was noted on the back of the room door. No break -glass fire alarm was in the hallway. No exit signs were in the hall. No fire sprinklers in the hall or rooms. To me, an engineer by training, the motel was a fire hazard. The motel requires major work from a fire viewpoint. Leonard Koss, PhD, Certified Professional Engineer.
Situated in a prime location in Skenes Creek/Apollo Bay. Expansive views of the ocean and nestled into the hillside. Quiet.
Comfortable, modest-sized rooms with everything you’d expect in way of motel facilities. A very comfortable bed. The sound of the ocean to lull you to sleep and gently wake you in the morning. We stayed in a sea view room and had incredible views of the sunrise over the ocean.
The proprietor, Paul, was very friendly and helpful. An all round positive experience and I would happily stay here again.
Clean and comfortable motel, centrally located within walking distance to Apollo Bay town centre. Had minimal interactions with staff, but found them to be particularly pleasant and helpful upon check-in. Very lucky to have had complimentary breakfast included at a nice little cafe down the road. The food there was delicious and staff equally as pleasant.
Would highly recommend Sandpiper Motel when travelling to Apollo Bay for a few days of relaxation.
The view from our villa - room was simply stunning. The meal and staff in the restaurant were superb. The area of Apollo Bay was charming and the drive on the Great Ocean road is atop of the list. We visited an area known for Koalas, and were able to find them both there and also up in the trees at Chris’s. As an unexpected bonus, we were greeted by several kangaroos, a mom and her pouch passenger stayed along side of the road for a fabulous photo op.
Nothing as we did not stay at the property because they had double booked and in spite of us having booked this hotel in November 2022 they would not accommodate us at the hotel. Other guests were arriving and being accommodated but we were told they had arranged different accommodation for us. This accommodation was at the back of a house.There was nothing to like about this property or the treatment we received
The room wasn't that big for a 4-bed-dorm since it was fully booked but for 1 night it was ok. What I liked more were the kitchen and living room as well as several other rooms (for TV and for using the laptop more privately). It was great that parking was included and that the restaurants on Apollo Bay main street were close :-)
Apollo Bay is the perfect base for exploring the Great Ocean Road. Skippers is just outside enough to be quiet while still close enough to walk to the shore in minutes. Comfortable beds. Nice porch in front. Excellent breakfast. Alll in all, a great place to stay.
Room was clean and equipped with all you need. We had ocean sound at night. Parking infront of the house possible.
Just note that it is a longer walk (20 min +) to the Center of Apollo Bay with the restaurants and Bars, but therefore quiet.
Superb location.
Cottages are in the foothills of the Otway Range, with a panoramic view of Apollo Bay and Marengo.
Highest quality of workmanship and materials in the cottages; Tasmanian Oak woodwork and limestone block walls.
Great location, we live Apollo Bay. Good stopping point to explore great ocean road. Motel was clean and well equipped with very friendly owners and staff. Would use again when next visiting.
There was no breakfast provided by the motel but staff recommended an excellent Cafe in the main street of Apollo Bay.
Location was within walking distance of stores, restaurants etc.
Loved the location. Having coffee with kangaroos sunbathing out the back was a highlight.
Room and bathroom clean.
Great location
Great view of the beach, sunrise and apollo bay.
Rooms were so clean, bed was huge and comfy! The owner was super nice and accommodating. We'd come back and stay again for sure. We were very impressed with this motel!
Breakfast was amazing! Such a good deal when coupled with the motel room. Bed was huge and very comfortable. Check-in and check-out was easy and contactless.
