Sandbar is an older style motel within walking distance to central Lakes Entrance including hotels and restaurants. What sets it apart is that it is very thoughtfully fitted out and hence has a very welcoming and homely atmosphere. It was very clean and very well maintained. It was very reasonably priced and represented excellent value for money, as witnessed by the fact that it was fully booked on a quiet week day. It was a very pleasant surprise and is highly recommended

The room was clean and within walking distance to the shops and restaurants. Thoughtful appliances in the room (i.e. coffee machine). If anything, the decor in the room was a little outdated and the room felt dark. Aircon worked well.

There were cooking facilities which were good, but no oil or salt. A lot of the pans did not work on the induction. The location was convenient and the staff were helpful, providing a cot for us on request.

What a unique place !! This is a proper vintage 1960s motel That being said it was one of the cleanest places we have stayed in on our 3 week road trip It had everything we needed and a very comfortable bed. We chose the king size Bed the linens on it were fab. The bathroom is dated like the building itself but once again spotlessly clean and perfectly functional The owners who were very friendly brought us some fresh milk and home made cookies Unfortunately we arrived late so did not see the outside facilities Excellent value for money Would definitely stay again

Only stayed 1 night en route to NSW, but staff were friendly and family room was clean and very convenient. Decor was charmingly a little old school, reminded me of motels from when I was a kid. Our room with adjoining bedroom slept 7 (we had 5). Motel provided milk and cookies on arrival and there's a Woollies just up the road.

Good location. Noisy fridge and bathroom fan. Bouncy bed that was like sleeping on a trampoline. Had an issue with the TV / internet connection which wasn’t resolved despite raising with the owner at the office. No noise from other units which was a positive and able to park in front of the unit which was also good.

The room was outdated. The floor had tiles which felt industrial. The furniture and facilities were just too outdated for me to feel relaxed here. The heater didn't work but they came and fixed it. I can't really sleep at motels due to the beds and pillows. I'm much happier on Marriott or Hilton beds but this was my only option on a stopover on my drive to the next big city.

A great-sized room with a lovely kitchenette. The aircon/heater was in a weird spot but we cranked it up high enough to eventually warm the room up. It was nice to have a shower with a door (as opposed to showers that only have 1 screen and allow the water to splash all over the bathroom floor!) And the toiletries were lovely.

Really exceeded our expectations. Reception staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the whole check-in process was smooth. The room was extremely clean and smelled really fresh when we walked in. Bed was comfortable and everything felt well looked after. Also surprisingly quiet at night with pretty good soundproofing, so we had a great sleep. Overall a really comfortable stay and would definitely come back.
