Sandpipers Motel Millicent

What guests think

At Sandpipers @ Millicent, travellers frequently note friendly, helpful check-in and several clean, recently updated rooms, but also a generally dated property with inconsistent housekeeping and maintenance, including tired bathrooms, unkempt grounds, and an uninviting pool.

The location is convenient to town, and several guests found stays quiet. The on-site restaurant is closed, and some reviews report no breakfast available or outdated advertising. Overall, expect a basic, convenient stopover with variable upkeep.

This property has seen better days. It’s dated, smelly and dirty. Furniture around the pool has bird droppings all over it and stuffing coming out of the upholstery. The restaurant has been close down for a long time. It in no way looks like the picture. We booked a deluxe room but was downgraded to a room with a double bed because our room had been raided by the police the day before and the door to the room had not been repaired! We were not compensated for the downgrade. This property should not be listed on Expedia.

Warm welcome. Property looked run down and shabby from the outside but inside it had everything we needed for a quiet comfortable stay. Town was very quiet, like a ghost town.

Reception was unmanned at 4 pm and had to be rung to attend. The room was musty and there was a constant tap dripping. the bathroom was not clean and the basin was filthy. Shower curtain was dirty. The windows were so dirty you couldn't see out of them. There was rubbish and papers blowing all across the entrance area to the rooms and the swimming pool was dirty and the surrounding area untidy with dirty rags and rubbish lying around.

The motel looked un-cared for, drab and old. The staff were accomodating, but the check in area was very uninviting. The carpets and window dressings were shabby. The bathroom was old and the shower door had a build up of calcium scale. The outdoor swimming pool was not sparkling and looked uninviting. On the upside, the shower was hot and great water pressure. The beds were comfortable

The room was clean with good fresh linen. However the windows, and the outside table could do with a wash. The property is starting to show it's age, the toilet seat and the grout, if not the tiles, in the shower could do with being replaced.

Had trouble opening the door because it was rotting. Room seemed clean but stank as though it had not been aired for a long time. We both decided not to stay there, returned the key and booked into the caravan park’s cabin instead.
