The room allocated was oceanview with a very nice balcony taking in the full view. room was very well kept and contained wine and champagne glasses and everything needed if you prefer to dine in the room. A delightful lady checked us in and made us feel very welcome. We would have no hesitation in returning to stay in this excellent very convenient motel right in the centre of the town.

We had an overnight at Sandridge which for us was a small quiet accommodation en route to Geelong. The motel is centrally and just behind the main road and seaside village. Our room was above the reception level, accessed from a side street that had quite a steep incline. The car park was reasonably level but the spaces for vehicles were a bit too tight. A couple of steps down to a passage and balcony and the room itself. Well built and very quiet room with good space. We could see a strip of the sea but it was largely obscured by the roof of the lower level. We found it to be just what we needed for our trip.

Certainly nothing like in the online photos. Boasts sea views but from our room only if you were over 6ft and could look over the top of the roof and airconditioning vents. Although very clean, check in staff not interested, room dated. Place meant for suitcases had microwave. Bathroom very old but clean. We have spent 10 days travelling to a different town each day and this was definitely the worse and most expensive.

Great access to the shops and beach. Just a few small things about the apartment – the room smelt musty – there was no hand towel provided for basin area. The lock on the Veranda door was quite hard to open – the tap on the Hand basin was quite stiff and a bit tricky to adjust. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

This property is very old and needs a renovation, especially the bathroom (the water temperature in the shower is hard to adjust). Overpriced for the poor condition of the room. I would look elsewhere if staying in the area. Location is good and it served its purpose for a one night stay, hence 2 stars.

The property is on Great Ocean Road in the heart of the Lorne beachfront. It has easy access to restaurants, shopping, and the ocean. Surprisingly, it is quiet after 9:30 p.m. in January—a very family-friendly area. The staff at the motel were very friendly. The room was spacious, with added touches of silverware and real wine glasses. The finishings were a little tired but it did not detract from the comfort of our stay.
