This was a great overnight stop along the Great Ocean Road. Is certainly set up for longer stays too. Slightly more firm bed, but still comfortable enough for a good sleep!

The motel was clean and quiet and in a good location for our trip along the Great Ocean Road. There were restaurants and a supermarket nearby which was very convenient. The noise curfew is a great idea!

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!
