"Fantastic ocean views, a quiet environment, and excellent service! Seafarers Getaway boasts the best vantage point in Apollo Bay, with clean and comfortable rooms, plus a kitchen, which is super convenient for those on a self-drive trip. The adorable animals on the property are a bonus, and with the coast and town right outside, it's incredibly convenient for dining, accommodation, and sightseeing. This is a must-stay hotel along the Great Ocean Road, offering amazing value for money and an unbeatable experience. Full marks, highly recommend!"

"We stayed one night at the Sandpiper Motel in Apollo Bay during peak season. On the positive side, the room was exceptionally clean, and the embroidered details on the bedding, pillow slips, and face towel were a lovely touch that added a sense of care and thoughtfulness to the decor. However, our stay was not without its issues. Room 5; Throughout the night, there was a persistent high-pitched noise whenever water was used in our block of rooms, which disrupted our sleep, not helpful if you are a light sleeper. This was particularly disappointing given the cost of over 500 NZD for one night. Additionally, while the self-check-in process was efficient, the lack of any staff presence left the motel feeling impersonal and made it impossible to seek assistance when needed. For example, there was no way to address the plumbing issue or request additional items like more face towels during our stay. While we appreciated the cleanliness and the attention to detail in the room design, these other factors made the experience less enjoyable than we had hoped. We hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future guests."

"We booked a two-bedroom suite, which was actually two separate rooms connected, and having two bathrooms was a definite plus. The location is right in the town center, making it super convenient for dining and shopping. There's an underground parking lot, but the entrance is a bit tricky to find; you'll need to slow down and look carefully as you approach. Check-in was handled by a handsome Chinese guy, which was a nice touch 😋. On the downside, the living room floor was a bit slippery, the lighting in the room was a bit dim, and the bathroom was a little cold at night. The picture is of a nearby burger joint, which was quite good!"

"The place is relatively quiet. The room is very clean and tidy. Highly recommended for staying The parking space is also very spacious. There are also warm lights in the bathroom. You won't feel cold when taking a shower in the winter. Highly recommended."

"The hotel is located on a mountain. It's more like a series of individual apartments than a hotel. There's a washing machine (top-loading), but no dryer. There are also basic kitchen utensils. However, I highly recommend eating at their restaurant; the ribeye steak is delicious. All balconies face the sea directly, and you can see the Milky Way after the moon sets. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are not to be missed. We also saw wild kangaroos, but we're not sure what subspecies they were. The bedding was clean and tidy. Be careful when showering; the water temperature might be affected by the neighbors using water, but turning it off and on again will restore it. Overall, it's a great place to stay for one night."

"Stayed one night here during out roadtrip to 12 apostles. Arrived late but managed to self checked in. Easy and convenient. Room was super impressive for the price that we paid. There are several eateries just minutes away from our motel, and about 3 ‘mins walk to the beach front. Would definitely recommend!"

"This was one of the best yha we have stayed at. The room was bare but that is to be expected. The amenities, by contrast, were excellent: Two well appointed kichens with nice pans and plenty of space; A roof area and multiple living room areas; an herb garden and plenty of recycling areas; and the games and TV area looked brand new and not old and worn out . The kids enjoyed it and so did we. Highly recommended."

"Our room was on the second floor with a king-sized bed. The sofa bed needed to be made up by ourselves, and there was no duvet, only one blanket provided, with another blanket in the closet, which was generally sufficient. There was parking available in the yard. For the second-floor room, luggage had to be carried up an outdoor staircase. My friend stayed in a first-floor room with a queen-sized bed and a 0.9m bed. Their balcony opened directly onto the roadside, which felt a bit unsafe. A common characteristic of motels along the Great Ocean Road is the lack of curtains, with roller blinds used instead, which aren't great for blocking out light. Our room had an induction cooker and pots, but my friend's room didn't. At nearly 1500, it was also the most expensive accommodation on our Great Ocean Road trip."

"Close to the coast, the room is large and well-equipped. There is a gas station in front, which blocks part of the view and is slightly lacking. There were koalas nearby, and I was lucky enough to meet them up close. They were cute and cute."
