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!

Sandpiper Motel 2 days stay
Overall is good with my 2 days stay, the bed is very comfortable. Comes with portable warmer.
The unpleasant part was, when I flipped up the sofa cushion. I found used tissues, crumbs from chips and nuts.The sofa do have a something like urine smell too. I reported the next morning when I happened to meet a lady w/o uniform near the reception area. Fortunately, when we are back in the evening. They managed to clean it up.

Lovely little motel, we arrived around 530pm so our key was outside in an envelope wating to be collected with a note detailing the facilities and dining options in the area. Well presented room with an excellent shower with free toiletries. We really enjoyed our stay and wished we had stayed for longer than 1 night.

The accommodation was lovely.
Very clean & updated vacilities.
Parking was easy.
A very nice place to stay.
Only down side was that you could loudly hear any other people staying through the walls.
