Nice place to rest for the night! Staff were helpful and even left a couple of cookies in the room upon arrival with a lovely little welcome note. The room was clean and free parking onsite right outside it was great. The bed wasn't particularly comfortable as you could feel all the springs and any slight movement, but manageable for one night. Good location walkable to town / beach, but far enough that the surrounding area was quiet.

Had a lovely overnight stay in Sandbar hotel on route to Sydney. Friendly staff at check in and little extras like cookies, personal hand written note and little gifts to take with you were an added touch. Facilities in room were perfect and bed very comfortable for an overnight stay. Room well equipped if you want to make breakfast or light meals.

For a last minute booking, we were pleasantly surprised. It was affordable, clean, with a comfortable bed, pillows and linen. The added touches of homemade cookies with a handwritten note, face cloths for makeup removal and a hair wrap,were so appreciated as was the surprisingly affordable mini bar.

Pleasant stay

Room was very clean and bed very comfortable. Greeted with home made cookies and nice note. Very pleasant if anything was requested. Within walking distance to the beach and town. Really enjoyed our stay. A little dated but that’s fine. It was clean and comfortable. That’s what matters. Very nice people.

The motel welcome us with a surprised home made cookies. So gratedful for the little gift.Great way to win more customers! Tableware are well chosen just as the expresso coffee machine, feeling home away from home... There are plenty of dining options close by . We also enjoyed the walk along the lake , right in front of the motel. The only downside is the bed size is a bit small for us.
