Fantastic stay. The room was spotless with plenty of space. Gaynor and Jo were welcoming and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed - nothing too much trouble. We had a really wide deck right across one side of the building with water views as well as a private balcony on the other side overlooking the beach. The pool was again spotless and great to cool down and relax. The motel was right across from the beach and a really quiet spot. Stinger suits are recommended but it’s a lovely place to go for a walk anyway and not busy. The lifesavers are across the road as well. The shop next door make the best potato scallops and pineapple fritters! Curlews scurried around over the road at night and called - great to watch. Black cockatoos visited the trees across the road in the mornings - so close and beautiful.

Couldn’t think of anything needing improvement.

We found the unit, clean, comfortable and spacious and would be more than happy to return. The good sized balcony and nice seating was a bonus especially on these hot days, we enjoyed the cool sea breeze in the afternoons and evenings, even early mornings with a cuppa while watching the sunrise over the water was very pleasant.

Only one little dislike and something to think about, was the over the top use of a chemical room deodorisers, I don’t know if a previous guest was perhaps a smoker and this was the reason, but it was extremely overpowering upon entry especially for myself being asthmatic and a trigger for me. Luckily there was a strong breeze that afternoon and after a few hours of opening up both the balcony doors and windows and use of the ceiling fans it improved and I was able too be inside.

Sandpiper is directly across from a clean beach. The room was basic and dated, but perfect for an overnight stop or stayover for several days to make use of the beach across the road. Bed was comfortable, room was clean, ample tea/coffee supplies and liked the touches of yellow throughout the unit to brighten the space. Good shower as well and fluffy towels.

Wish there was a screen door leading to the balcony to enable the door to remain open to take advantage of the wonderful sea breeze. Couldn't keep it open at night due to insects, so had to resort to aircon to keep the room from heating up.

The Sandpiper Motel was a breath of fresh air compared to other motels we had stayed in on our holiday to North Queensland. The room was large and comfortable, with kitchen facilities, and it was a nice surprise to have all the little extras in the room. Just a 2 min stroll to the beach.

Since the motel is at the beach, access to food and shops was a bit limited.

This motel was just awesome, right across from the beach. Our unit has a balcony which was nice to sit out and have drinks on whilst watching the world go by. Spacious unit with good aircon and comfy beds, it was one of those places we wished we could spend more time at. Great selection of teas/coffee/Milo etc. and funky retro decor. Highly recommended

This is an excellent place to stay. It is without doubt the best place we have stayed on our trip so far. Cleanliness was exceptional. loved the colour coordinated accessories- yellow kettle was my favourite. It is great good value for money. A lovely spot to stay, surf club & beach just across the road. Such a peaceful, beautiful place to rest your head

Absolutely nothing

We loved the decorative colors in bright yellows and green. Even the crockery and cutlery was yellow. The complimentary vanities was the largest selection I've seen in a long time and had a great tropical smell. Our room was on the second floor with a nice view of the main beach.

The matress as a bit soft and we had to stuck pillows in the headboard wich is impractical because a person will tend to bump your head.

The location is perfect directly across the road from the beach. We were located in the rear block overlooking the pool which still had great ocean views.The pub at the end of the street had great food and views.

It's a little dated. You walked on the grass at the side of the building to get from the car parks under the units to the building entry. A pathway would make it more obvious and easier to access when the ground is wet.

We had a great stay at the sand piper. Good room and nice bed. All the toiletries were placed nice and the towels rolled up and positioned on the bed. Would definitely recommend for a stay here. Will stay again next time we are in the area- the restaurant/bar was a short walk along the beach and on the road the way back looking up at the stars

Slighty outdated - and could upgrade the stairs area a little bit.

This hotel is such a classic Aussie motel we loved our stay! There was such attention to detail and we loved the colour coordination in the room. The two staff members we came in contact with were so friendly and welcoming. Great value for money and would definitely stay if in the area again!
