A great place to stay, clean, convenient and quiet location, close to supermarket. We were given an upgrade to a spacious renovated room upstairs. Some other renovations are going on in the property. Microwave oven, toaster, kettle and cutleries are provided adequate to have a simple meal in room. Guest laundry is available for use. Towels are nice and soft.

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!
A room with a view!
