Terrific position, but disappointing room. No cupboard or shelves to put clothing. King bed is too singles pushed together, which moved apart during the night. Rats in roof which kept us awake with their gnawing within the ceiling, which might explain the off smell when we entered, thus needing to open all doors. TV only has movies, so we couldn't watch the news, Big Bash or tennis. There were no instruction booklets on how to use the TV or Aircon. Overpriced.

Great stay, noting you have no interaction with staff but that is fine. Easy check in. Room great, bed comfy and great you can microwave and make toast if you want. Easy walk to beach and great coffee. Bathroom fitted out well and good supplies including make up wipes . Highly recommend .

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.
