Ratings and reviews
2.0 / 5.0
The property was dirty with mould in she shower and in fact, it had a very used block of soap still in the shower.
There were also blowflies coming from somewhere in the bathroom, I killed about six of them.
The pipes also rattled badly and only stopped when I turned on and off the taps.
It was one of the cheaper options, but it wasn’t bargain priced and I didn’t feel I got good value for money.

A convenient location and value for money

We did not see any staff and the combination door lock was hard to operate and toilet dripped all the time.
4.0 / 5.0
Convenient and good value.
Although the facility is “tired” it was comfortable and suited our requirements.
We really appreciated the extended checkout and complementary transport to the airport

Outdated with virtually no facilities. Carpet needs replacing. Wifi did not connect. Suitable for this visit as only needed a room and bed

Nice garden area to sit & enjoy, rooms were a good size. But, not very clean, bathroom was dirty, mould. The beds were comfortable, but we woke up with itchy bites & felt like something was crawling over you during the night.

Without courtesy bus, It would be unsuitable for those on foot.

3.0 / 5.0
Clean. I booked specifically for the use of WiFi and it wasn't available. No reception on-site made me feel unsafe. No fan in the bathroom meant the air in the room became damp after a shower
3.0 / 5.0
Not impressed by the whole establishment appears to be let run down, on my room, luckily my partner noticed it there was a hole panel of the glass sliding door missing, rang reception and the girl came out and swapped us over to another room. One can only imagine what would have happened if we had not noticed half the door was missing. Not impressed and will not be staying there again.
5.0 / 5.0
Super easy checkin as we didn't arrive till later in the evening. Have stayed at Jumbuk before and we chose them again for this reason. Beds were uncomfortable this time - too firm.. Other than that it was all good. However, if you are arriving into Longreach later in the evening, be aware that there probably won't be anywhere for you to eat. Lady at local pub was gracious enough to let us buy $30 worth of packet chips, a packet of beer nuts and some beef jerky for the 3 of us to share for dinner.

The bed was too hard. Might just as well sleep on the ground.
5.0 / 5.0
One of the few pet-friendly places that don't relegate you to an unrefurbished room! It looked like a NORMAL motel room, it was lovely! Quite spacious too with a nice grassed area to go out on for your pup, and watch the kangaroos from the glass doors. :D
Walking distance to the airport/Qantas museum if that's your thing.
0.5 / 5.0
This place was NOTHING like what advertised, don't book. You check yourself in so there is also no-one to complain too.

Couldn’t fault this accom at all for our 1 night in a longreach. Clean and tidy rooms. And not an issue at all. Pleasure to rest of heads here

Room was not worth the money charged. Dated and in disrepair

The property has obviously been lovely in the past but now is managed offsite. Many disadvantages, but the view from our room was pleasant and we enjoyed our stay in Longreach.

If you enjoy paying a lot of money to spend the night with bed bugs, ants and mosquitoes then this is the place for you. Crazy amount of money for the room give its condition and facilities. You would be better off sleeping in your car honestly
3.0 / 5.0
No staff on property and general maintenance not up to a good standard.

I booked through Wotif and am unable to get a refund. I did not stay at Jumbuk. Very disappointing as I still cannot make contact with Wotif. Will never use again. I admit I did not see the no refund policy but tried almost immediately to make contact.
1.0 / 5.0
The air conditioner was faulty, i needed to use the spoons in a packet to put in the vent so the air would circulate in the room. For a country motel the price was way too high considering the ageing condition of the motel. I would expect more value in the package such as a supplied meal
as well the rooms are quite small barely swing a cat in the one i had.
i would certainly not be recommending this motel to anyone i talk to in the future
5.0 / 5.0
Easy online check in, close to town, comfy beds, lovely toiletries, the lady on reception was fantastic and smiley.
2.0 / 5.0
The first room you couldn’t secure it the sliding doors lock was broken.
The lovely lady moved us to a second room
which was ok but you brought red dirt in as there was no door mat to clean your shoes, the tap in the basin was coming off

Felt it wasn’t maintained, inside and out , our room had not been vacuumed before our stay , no reception at property , still reasonably expensive though

I have stayed at the Jumbuck several times over the last 45 years and was disappointed with the surrounding and the way the property is managed . The bathroom door was broken and the sliding back door was dragging and difficult to open we were going to use the BBQ but it was filithy it was not good value extremely disappointed . No way I could I recommend the Jumbuck in its present condition
5.0 / 5.0
Ease of check in. Got a text about which room. Room entry is using a keypad to enter a number code. No physical keys. Spacious room. There is a microwave and cutleries available. There was no washing up liquid to clean after use though.
1.0 / 5.0
Booked for 3 people, only found towels and cups for 2. Rang and emailed to get the missing items: no aknowledgement. Shouldn't have bothered because shower stank badly and was filthy. Have photo proof. Needless to say we didn't use the shower. Bottom Single bed had hairs on sheets and top bunker bed had a dirty pillow case. Other pillow cases and bed spreads were soiled. There were dead insects in the bathroom. Only stayed because we had driven all day, paid $206!!!!!! and everywhere else was booked. Ended up bringing in our own bedding so we could sleep. Never again and would like a refund. Will contact ombudsman with receipts and photo evidence of the disgusting conditions of the place to sort this matter out. If you're coming to Longreach, book in advance and definitely not the Jumbuck. Wotif should also be more discerning about the places they accept bookings for. A total let down from the motel and the booking app.

Overpriced room. Shower in need of urgent repairs. Water goes everywhere. Toilet broken. Wifi not functioning. Rang office at the property next door. They were no help. Room didn’t get cleaned in the 5 nights I was there. An unmanned property if you need anything like to use the laundry you need to drive to the next property to use theirs. Very dirty and dusty room. Would not recommend this property at all. In need of a lot of maintenance. Stayed in better outback pubs. Do yourself a favour, keep driving past the Jumbuck.

Sadly, the Jumbuck Hotel is looking a bit neglected and tired. Bathroom hairdryer had a lot of ‘red dust’, and the main brick wall seemed to have Spaulding at the far end! Bed was comfortable though! Pool also had significant amount of silt/sediment on the floor making it questionable to swim in.

Room was spacious but tired looking. The chairs in the room were absolutely disgusting. The mirror in the bathroom was dilapidated, no cutlery or crockery. sliding door wouldn’t slide. I certainly wouldn’t recommend this motel to anyone

Lack of direct on site contact with management. Not able to contact them directly by phone. Lack of in room amenities - 4 electrical appliances with one power point: 1 wine glass only 1 water glass only. Had to physically leave the site to contact management re rectifying these problems. Very overpriced for what you got.

Motel advertises that it has WIFI. The alleged wifi only worked for us when we left our room and sat in the reception area of the adjacent motel
, the Albert Park motel. Jumbuck is run by the Albert Park. In the room, the main window curtain was ripped from its rail and had been very roughly rehung. It didn’t work. Our window curtain was useless. Four appliances provided (tv, toaster, microwave and kettle) but only one single power point within that proximity. No breakfast or dinner restaurant or sit down eatery within a a 30 minute walk, but Harry’s restaurant will come and collect you for a dinner service. Only Telstra works out here, but there is a free phone box very close by to the motel. Constantly dripping taps in the bathroom…very noisy. Bed was good, pillows too flat, fridge was good size. Not a room I will stay in again.
