Jackaroo Apartments

Conveniently located this property offers a comfortable nights sleep. There is a swimming pool (that I didn’t use) and self parking…it’s no frills, but clean and comfortable.

Quiet motel, well presented and appointed room , helpful and polite staff, good location and a free coffee every morning from their associated coffee shop. Excellent security gate at entrance with sharp protrusions on top to prevent climbing.

On arrival, the receptionist was not at all welcoming. GRUMPY!!, where as the housemaid was the opposite. In the room, it was tidy and clean, however the toilet kept filling up in the bowl and taking ages to flush away, not enough towels, crockery, cutlery, glasses to cater for 4 people, and the toaster only worked it you stood there holding it down. The barbecue was disgustingly dirty. On handing the key back in to tell her about the toilet problem and toaster, she was just as grumpy as when we arrived.

Staff were friendly, safe parking right at the door to room. Perfect for travelers passing through.

The unit was spacious, clean and well presented. The owner and his family went out of their way to ensure our stay was enjoyable. We made use of the free washing machine, which was appreciated after days on the road. Would stay again.

Nice clean Motel, quite modern had most things we needed. Would stay again.

39 degree day pool closed all day because of chemical cleaning pool should be cleaned at night not during the day I travelled several hours with 2 children , and they couldn’t use pool , I specifically booked this place because it had a pool and we couldn’t use it

A beautiful and clean property with friendly and helpful staff. Was a little disappointed that we weren’t able to swim in the pool, it was a bit too green for our liking.

Realy nice little motel great bed and shower. Very clean with a nice little cafe attached for morning coffee and breakfast

Initial room was locked so given different room. Room was clean but lacked a few basic items. When staff arrived they gave additional bath towels but never got teatowels. All facilities in good working condition. Exterior street view needs renovations ie hard to read the main sign. The cafe attached appeared to be closed but as we left next morning it was open but as we had already made alternative plans we didnt visit it. Good secure fencing with locked gate but please next time tellutell

Property was old and need of an update. Bathroom had mould in shower recess and toilet had Not been cleaned from previous occupants.

Really clean and nicely laid out place for a 2.5 star! Quite impressed with the place! 😁

Unit had a stale odour when we went into the room. We later found there was water leaking around the base of the toilet bowl. Bed was comfortable. Overnight stay only

Booked this motel as travelling with three children and two adults so need the extra beds. Checked in got key, opened door to room and all beds had been slept in and no service to room. They offered another room with inadequate number of beds. Room had to be made up quickly. Rooms were still being made up at 4pm! Very old motel had its day. Only positive were the beds themselves were ver comfortable.

Clean, safe and comfortable and a good shower.

There was no cups or milk the shower area was dirty overall the place needs a good clean and repairs carried out ac was cool not cold

One of the single beds was broken. Was missing a wheel therefore unable to sleep on bed. Shower had mould in it. Room smelt very old and we had to go buy mosquito spray as there was heaps of mozzies in room and children were allergic. Not the best stay for our money.

Reception smelt of fish, had to walk through several people smoking (residents I think). I have stopped here before it has gone down a lot. Bathroom had stains on the wall, green scum around the tap and plug hole. Rusty shower curtain rail and brown stains on the towels. Had to go looking for toilet paper. No milk or biscuits, stain on the ceiling of the bedroom and pillow cases. Residents smoking and talking at 5.30am very noisy. Will not stop here again.

Fridge had not been cleaned out and somebody else's food was still in there. Shower was no more than a dribble. Very average.

I booked this motel based on its 8.8-star rating, but I can confidently say it falls far short of that!! The bathroom was filthy, and instead of proper towels, I was provided with two dirty floor mats, no full-sized towel at all. I could hear loud banging, children screaming and general noise from the other rooms that continued throughout the night, and the smell of food from the owners’ kitchen permeated my entire room, as it was located near the reception and private residence. The lighting in the room was harsh and clinical, more like a hospital than a restful space. Dust coated all four walls, the bed was rock-hard, and the overall atmosphere felt neglected and uninviting. As a solo female traveller just passing through, I was simply looking for a clean and safe place to sleep. Unfortunately, I felt I had neither. The front door was hollow and secured with only a single basic lock. The blinds were thin and barely blocked the glaring fluorescent light from outside. To make matters worse, there was a pair of “communal thongs” left in the room, presumably because even the staff knew the shower was too dirty to use barefoot. When I asked the receptionist about food options nearby, she was dismissive and unhelpful, telling me to “just use Google.” She eventually mentioned a local pub but was neither friendly nor welcoming. I barely slept and left as soon as it was light enough to continue my drive. Unless you're absolutely desperate, I would not recommend staying here.

The property is clean, the bed was comfortable, and functional but that's about it. The front wall is paper thin so you can hear every noice. Apartments is a big stretch, just old hotel rooms. The description of the property is more glamorous than it is.

The hotel has its place in the market and is doing well. Super simple check in, clean and neat room. Super simple check out. Obviously a popular stop for long distance travellers, so some noise early morning as the Nomads get rolling at 5am, but that isn't surprising. I've now stayed 3 times in two years and each time been very satisfied for the result, noting the price. Well done.

The spacious room had all the facilities we expected.

The room was very quiet, no traffic noise, able to make tea and coffee in the room, comfortable. The bed and the pillow were firm.

Updated bathroom however the room itself was very tired and in need of new carpet.

We enjoyed our stay overnight in a specious room with a generously aquipt kitchenette. Compare to other motels in a same price range we have stayed over our trip, this was our favorite.

The owners of this motel hold the secret of providing quality accommodation at an affordable price. The rooms are a decent size with an extremely comfortable bed which ensures a great night's sleep in quiet surroundings. No traffic noise and the airconditiong is whisper quiet. If not too hot there are even windows that can be opened for fresh air. To self cater is easy with a bench and table and chairs. Thank you ....your super clean accommodation was by far the best in our travels from Queensland to Melbourne and return.

The staff were friendly and obliging. Generally very clean but the microwave was a little in need.No wardrobe but a free standing coat hanger so there were no hangers. It didn’t bother me but it might if you wanted to hang good clothes. This motel is used by workers who leave around 6am every morning until about 8am and is often quite noisy so if you want a sleep in this is probably not the place for you. Easy walking distance to many local restaurants and fast food.Reasonably close to the artesian baths.

Noisy and people sitting outside my room talking loud at 6.30am.

The owner manager was extremely helpful when I asked for directions to sightseeing places and hot springs. Cheerful place to stay...

Lovely manager, very helpful. Great bed and shower. So convenient to everywhere.

Friendly reception and quick check in. Secure premises with big gate locked at night. Roomy, clean and comfortable. Great bed. Walking distance to lots of eateries and supermarket. Definitely stay again.

Owners very helpful. Rooms clean and bed comfortable.

Staff were very helpful - just overnight but everything was very comfortable.

Very courteous staff, good location.

Was dissapointed by rudeness at check in. Pics are very deceiving as well. Pics strategically taken to make the hotel seem friendlier cleaner , and hotel grounds larger etc. When the site tells me hurry , last room available, I assume there will be other guests there as well. I am obviousy not from the area, andi would advise other travelers unfamiliar with the area to push on a little further, or stop a little earlier.

Friendly and happy staff.

Quiet motel, well presented and appointed room , helpful and polite staff, good location and a free coffee every morning from their associated coffee shop. Excellent security gate at entrance with sharp protrusions on top to prevent climbing.

great for a short stop

Owned and managed by a delightful couple who welcomed us warmly, were lovely to chat with, and who run a nice cafe at the street-front, each morning. The room was clean and fresh, and the bed was very comfortable.
