RRoarRoarRoarA clean, comfortable, and ideally located classic motel, brimming with warmth and perfectly fulfilling all our expectations for convenient beachfront accommodation!
🌊 Unbeatable Location
· Right on the Coastline: The motel is separated from the beach by just a quiet street. You can enjoy endless ocean views directly from your room window or small balcony. Watching the sunrise in the morning and taking a stroll on the beach in the evening truly makes your dream of ”stepping out onto the sand” a reality.
· Convenient Transportation: Situated right off the main road, it's very easy to access if you're driving. The motel offers spacious, free parking, which is a great bonus for road trips or family vacations, saving both hassle and money. Although close to the road, traffic is sparse at night, ensuring a peaceful rest.
· Everyday Conveniences: Within a 5-10 minute walk, you'll find a gas station, a small supermarket, and several authentic family restaurants. This makes grabbing essentials and quick meals very convenient.
NNanqudafupoThe hygiene was great, and the room was spacious. However, the shower in the bathroom was too small, and the showerhead was very inconvenient to use. Parking was abundant and easy to find, and the little courtyard was lovely. It's very close to the beach, so you can go stargazing after dark. When our check-in was delayed, a quick phone call resolved it easily.
OoliviachenzwWe are a family of 8, and we rented the entire unit, both downstairs and upstairs, for our stay. The weather was cold during our visit, but the beds were equipped with heaters, which made for a very comfortable night’s sleep.
Each floor has its own bathroom and kitchen, which was incredibly convenient for our large group. The bathrooms came with basic toiletries, although there was no toothpaste provided, so be sure to bring your own. The kitchens were well-equipped and functional, with simple seasonings like salt and pepper. We brought our own cooking oil, but everything else was perfect for preparing warm meals for dinner and breakfast.
The homestay is located in Marengo. One thing to note is that there are no supermarkets in Marengo itself, but Apollo Bay is just a few minutes' drive away. We recommend stocking up on groceries there before arriving if you plan to cook during your stay.
Parking was more than sufficient for our Kia Carnival 8-seater, so we had no trouble with that.
The area is wonderfully quiet, making it perfect for a relaxing, peaceful getaway. We had a truly pleasant stay here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a spacious and comfortable place to stay.
PPidanmaomaoThe room is very satisfactory, the accommodation is convenient, there are shops and restaurants around, and the hotel is in a prime location.
AAnonymous UserThis was a good stopover on our Great Ocean Road trip. The room had a great view of the ocean. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't on our side, with strong winds and rough seas the day we arrived. Apollo Bay has plenty of food options, so you don't need to worry about finding a meal when driving yourself. My only complaint is that I didn't see any hotel staff during our entire stay, so the service was practically non-existent. Also, parking in the courtyard is quite limited.
EExploring our one precious worldWe 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.
GGuest UserWe stayed here when driving on the Great Ocean Road, I really liked the quiet and comfortable here, the room was very clean, there was a jacuzzi, and we got a good relaxation for a day by car. There are various restaurants around for easy taste of food. Check in is very convenient and will come next time.
Iiamso9sweetThe 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.
AAnonymous UserExcellent location for a stop by along the ocean road, 15 minutes drive to Apollo bay, quiet little property located at the foot of mountain and facing the sea, with fantastic ocean view and interesting rock and sand beach
The staff were very helpful and friendly and the room of bay view is spacious with a small sitting room and all necessary utensils
People just need to bring necessary food and drink to cook for themselves as there is a bit distance from the town center
A little advice though: please provide air-conditioner for the accommodations as it’s pretty hot in summer in the room. It’s not comfortable and the guest cannot sleep well in the summer heat
GGuest UserThe environment is amazing. The store upgraded us to a view room for free. However, the navigation was not very accurate at first. After arriving, just contact the front desk and wait for the receptionist. 🙂
