What guests think

At Sandcastles 1770 Motel & Resort, travellers highlight the beachside, walkable location and pleasant pool areas, while noting variable room types from basic roadside motel rooms to spacious villas, with mixed housekeeping and maintenance standards.

Many guests find staff friendly and helpful, though some report slow or unresponsive follow-up, cumbersome check-in steps, and booking or room-change mix-ups. Noise can intrude in roadside motel rooms or from early-morning machinery, and budget rooms have limited kitchen setups that sometimes require washing dishes in the bathroom sink. Many enjoy the onsite restaurant and nearby dining, though opening days, loud live music, and value for money draw mixed feedback. Expect a convenient beach stay with variable room quality and service consistency.

A very short walk to the beach, and shop,if i needed it. The pool was fabulous, nice and deep. I visited Agnes when it was a quieter time, so i had it mostly to myself. Bottom floor accommodation was great for my week.

The apartment was generally clean, although there was some sand on the sofas and in a few drawers in the bedroom, which isn't a big deal. However, the washing machine had mold and a strong musty smell inside. Also, the BBQ gas tank was empty, but after notifying them, it was replaced the next day. The check-in process was somewhat cumbersome, as it was necessary to provide credit card details over the phone to a staff member. Although the online check-in works, the access code takes about 20 minutes to arrive. The resort has two pools, but guests have access to only one, depending on the room option selected.

Nice place, close to beach and very clean. We stayed in a 2 bedroom beach house pool. The photos were miss-leading showing the pool having a glass pool fence and at the end of the balcony. Our one was actually a metal fence and tucked around the side. Also had little issues in the room: bbq wouldn’t light and dishwasher rack was broken. Would we stay again? Yes, but these are things I would be mindful of.

Sandcastles 1770 is in a great location - right on the beach. Unfortunately, my room wasn't clean - satay sauce spilt on the floor in front of the fridge and dead bugs on the floor and window sills. The bathroom smelt musty. I mentioned these things to the receptionist when I checked out, but her only response was to say I should have complained earlier.

The room was clean, check in was easy and quick as we did it online. We liked the idea of the kitchen being hidden behind a door, but the fridge was very tiny and didn't hold alot. Our room was close to the restaurant, but you couldn't hear the music which was good.

I booked an overnight stay through Wotif and was genuinely excited about my trip, but I was quite disappointed upon arrival. The fridge and microwave were in a disgusting state, and the room itself felt stuffy and uncomfortable. On top of that, the lighting in the room was very poor — definitely not suitable if you needed to study or use a computer at night. Out of four small lights, one wasn’t working, which made the room even dimmer. The price for the "studio" is nearly the same as the Garden View Studio, which is absolutely ridiculous. They call it "budget-friendly," yet charge $200 per night — for that amount, I expected much better accommodation. I'm sure the response I’ll receive here will be similar to what I already heard from the admin team — they went on about how they supposedly differentiate between the various room types and the beachfront views, etc., which simply isn't true. I found their explanation dismissive and unhelpful.

Super friendly lady at front desk, central location, clean and tidy. However, this is a typical roadside motel, with the sound of early traffic coming right through the windows. And the photos give the impression it’s resort style accommodation without making it clear you’re in a motel quite apart from the resort rooms, which appear to be quite a bit nicer. I think it was very overpriced at $270 for what it was. Had it been $180, even $200, then it would have been fair value. Overall, we had a comfortable stay and would recommend if they brought down the price of the motel rooms.

For us “oldies” stepping into a bath for a shower is never ideal, BUT apart from that minor issue, our stay was PERFECT. Starting with the lovely warm welcome from the helpful, young lady at reception through to the rest of our stay could not be faulted. The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was a good size and the locality was great.

I was disappointed my room was changed without consultation after discussing what we required we had a room we couldn't use due to steps so we were moved to original room we booked. Then to top it off they booked our room for another person as well who came to check into our room with her key. I am not keen on giving a bad review, but no one bothered to contact me to explain or apologize for the inconvenience, I had to call them myself. Lovely property and a great location. There was a smoke alarm sitting on the bench that had fallen from the ceiling. The unit was immaculate and loved everything about it. But the staff failed with supplying customer service.
