Sandpiper Motel

Sandpiper Motel is all round comfort from when you walk into your room. The queen bed and pillows are very comfortable. Room very clean and tidy. All sorts of complimentary beverages - milo, drinking chocolate, great selection of teas and mocconna coffee. As the room is self contained, there was an electric frypan, saucepans, toaster, kettle, microwave, cooking utensils and crockery, with 2 fridges in the room. All in very good condition. There is a guest barbeque and laundry facilities. Complimentary washing powder is supplied. As you can see in the ads, the colour scheme is yellow and blue for sunshine/sand and blue ocean. Sarina beach is across the road as is the Sarina Surf Club. The Sarina Beach corner store is next door with a range of food and fuel. Boat ramp a 2 minute drive. We will definitely stay again.

Beautiful location. Very well appointed room and great wifi. The host gave us an upgrade to a downstairs room due to mobility concerns which we appreciated. It was clean and had a lovely balcony to watch the ocean. The rooms are very quiet with no noise from neighbouring rooms.

Absolutely fantastic motel right across the road from Sarina Beach. Gaynor is a superb host running a first class establishment with all the amenities that a couple or family could want for both for a short or long stay.. The suites are very roomy, spotlessly clean with comfortable sleeping and seating arrangements. It was such a delight to find this place and it will now become a permanent place to stay on our annual trips up and down the Queensland coast.. Thank you Gaynor.

After a multi-day drive I checked in with the expectation of "just another model", but this little gem really was exceptional. The rooms were thoughtfully set up with loads of little extras. Right next to the beach, you could not get a better location to go for a long walk to stretch out those driving-cramped legs. Our room had beautiful views, cold air-conditioning, a comfy bed, nice big thoughtfully prepared rooms, and a little balcony. It was really great value.

We really enjoyed our recent stay at the Sandpiper motel. The rooms were thoughtfully equipped and decorated beautifully with pops of yellow cheerfully brightening the decor. It felt like the owners truly cared. We have stayed in many motels and the Sandpiper is a standout and was a pleasure to stay at.

The SandPiper Motel has been my designated stop whenever travelling north from Brisbane. Then again when returning south. In the morning I use the room's balcony facing the ocean and the rising sun. Once the ocean breezes start to get cool I move to the deck at the back of the room to get the afternoon sun. Then I eat my meal there and watch the amazing sunsets. The people at the Motel a very welcoming and accommodating. I've been staying there for years and it still is a high light of my trips along the Queensland coast. BarryP

We were down the back but walked int a very large space with two double and a single bed, full kitchen and dining table. Opened the double balcony doors and the sea breeze wafted through the place. So you could set up here with the family and kids for a week or two, fill the fridge and your all set. Reasonably priced, a family run business but like a lot places we came across the interior could use a facelift. Saying this though, everything was clean and functional, and any large update would increase the price here making it less desirable for families and less charming. Someone here has taken time and effort into making it feel beachy and colour co-ordinated, the towels were paricularly nice , bright and fluffy. Across the street is the surf lifesaving club with the patrolled beach big signs that turtles lay eggs here ( wish it was when i was there but alas no)

We were happy with our motel choice. The room was clean and comfortable. My husband commented on the comfy bed. Well appointed for a night or more than 1. The staff were very helpful and understanding when we had to cut our stay short. Under cover parking and close to the beach.
