Jumbuck Motor Inn - Pool - Pet Friendly Section - King Beds

Dirty, walls cracked, cockroaches. If you book don’t get room 20. The bathroom is disgusting, very dirty never ever again. Don’t believe the photos! Even the tv points towards the floor as it’s had a dodgy repair, door to outside patio (if you call it that) doesn’t open castors are stuffed. Only stayed as we were exhausted by the time we got there.

Bed bugs was the first of many horrors at this place. I hardly slept at all. Dirty room- it looked as though the area around the fridge had never been cleaned. Ants- lots of them. Mosquitoes- lots of them in the room as well even though I only had the door open momentarily suggesting they were in there already. Uninterested staff upon check in which had to be done at the next door hotel. Ridiculous amount of money for a dated, unclean and non maintained room. No love at all in anything they do. Do not stay here!!

My husband and I recently found ourselves stranded in Longreach over Easter without transport and a hell of a lot of luggage. We were terrified we might end up sleeping in a park! Fortunately, the Jumbuck had a room available and the manager Don, could not have been more helpful. He provided a solution to the dilemma of our luggage and offered moral support during our time of crisis. This is what outback hospitality should be! We'd give this place ten stars if it was possible. Thanks again Don.

Reception was at another motel so you get a code for your door , no reception or security on site. The restaurant is not open anymore. That is the good part. No wifi reception, no towels and the shower head fell off when taking a shower . What a disappointing place to stay . Sent a message to reception about issues but no reply. Not interested?

So disappointing. Actually disgraceful. It is very overpriced. The front door didn’t work, went to open the sliding door, the handle fell off in my hand. Went to use the toilet beside the pool as I couldn’t get into my room, it was dirty. Leaves a very bad impression of Longreach.

Check-in is at another location further along the road. Check-in was slow, and the person uninformed and confused as to the group booking I was included in. The room appeared to have been recently "refreshed". The bench top had been painted, and although the paint was dry, it was sticky to touch and a plastic bag placed on it lifted the paint when removed. There was no internet in my motel unit, however at the other end of the units I could access the motel's internet and also at the check-in facility. For the first couple of days I raised this with motel management who said they would fix it. By the third day they became very defensive and on the fourth day outright aggressive at their approach to me, despite me remaining calm. On check-out the man at the desk aggressively raised his voice when I expressed disappointment at the lack of internet and told me it was everyone else's fault but not there's, and in the process was extremely rude. I will choose not to stay at this place again.
