Thank you Jackaroo Motel. We had a peaceful night sleep, which was needed. It was easy to book, check in, and the staff are very friendly. Plenty of information was given and use of the facilities were explained to us very well.

My wife and I just spent a four night stay at the Jackaroo in July and we found it a great place to stay. Nice clean room, comfortable bed, good facilities, excellent breakfast menu to choose from and the breakfast always arrived at the time requested. The hosts, Pete and Maureen couldn't have been more helpful and were very informative with good advice on attractions in the area and a recommendation for an excellent place to eat (The Gateway Hotel). We'd certainly recommend The Jackarroo Motel to anyone travelling to Mareeba. Ken Grant.

We stayed at the Jackaroo Motel for 1 night. This was the last room they had available. We had Unit 20 - it is tucked in behind the Reception area. It is a great room! Our carpark was right outside. There is a little table and 2 chairs outside the room. There is also a grassy area adjacent that could be used for parking a trailer or caravan if negotiated at time of booking. MAIN ROOM consists of: ** 1 queen bed ** 1 single bed ** wall mounted flat screen tv ** bar fridge ** microwave ** electric jug ** complimentary tea & coffee. (If you want plates & cutlery just contact reception) ** 2 dining chairs and a bench along the wall that could be used as place to eat or put a laptop if you needed to work. ** 1 cushioned sitting chair ** airconditioner ** ceiling fan ** wardrobe with shelves & space to hang clothes ** bedside table between the beds with a lamp ** power points near both beds (one power point is behind the single bed - but we just bumped the bed out a bit to access the powerpoint) [ The beds were both quite firm but they were comfortable. It was 18deg on the night that we stayed but we were quite warm with the bedding that was already on the beds. (There were extra blankets and pillows in the wardrobe) ] BATHROOM ** Very spacious. ** Shower (no tub) has a glass wall with a shower curtain ( ery spacious - there is room for a shower chair if needed). There is also a detachable hand-held shower head. ** Single vanity ** Toilet ** Complimentary mini bottles of shampoo & conditioner plus 2 mini cakes of soap ** Bath mat, bath towels, hand towel and face washer [ Extra bath towels in the wardrobe if needed ] ACCESSIBILITY The main room would easily accomodate a wheelchair or a walker. There is a (approx 3cm) lip at the door to the unit. The room is carpeted - bathroom is tiled flooring. There is no step up from the carpark to the concrete walkway outside the room. The bathroom would have room for a walker. You would be able to get a wheelchair into the bathroom - not a lot of room - but you could access the facilites. NOTE - there are no handrails in the bathroom. OVERALL We enjoyed our stay - it met our needs - we were very happy with the facilities in the room - both the room & bathroom was extremely clean - the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful (I accidentally left an item of clothing when we left and we received a phone call about 30mins after we left). We would stay here again.…

I have been travelling to Mareeba for nearly 2 years now as we work to establish a new agtech service in the area. I first stayed at the Jackaroo Motel through an on-line search and from the very beginning it has become my go to place to stay. Just recently the Jackaroo has changed management and it is great to report that the new Team has the place sparkling and have added some very helpful services. For the first time, we made use of the excellent conference facilities the Jackaroo can offer, which are rare in Mareeba. With the option of full catering or hot and cold food storage, excellent audio-visual equipment the Jackaroo Team made our job to entertain a group of 10 a breeze. We could host functions for probably 20, but you best check with the management on the numbers they would enjoy catering for. I have stayed in dozens of country motels from Adelaide in SA, through Victoria, NSW and Queensland and the Jackaroo Motel in Mareeba stands out for me for friendly service, good quality rooms and great value for money. I can highly recommend them.…

Rooms were old but comfortable enough. Can hear every single vehicle passing by on the main road. You would think that with a 10am checkout staff would not enter your room prior to that time or checking out, but I happened to receive the old ‘9:30am quick knock’ immediately followed by a barge in entry to my room. Of course, I happened to be stark naked prior to getting dressed & ready to leave around that time. The guy didn’t even leave 1 second for me to respond verbally before entering the room. I’ve stayed at enough places to see this happen from time to time. They know exactly what they’re doing. So if your’e into that kinda thing…enjoy your stay!

The only less than excellent thing about this location is currently (crushing season) cane trucks roaring past from pre-dawn for an hour or so! Crazy that cane is now being grown up on my old FNQ stamping ground. Staff were great, room was great, good value and the provided facilities (beautiful BBQ and bounteous goodies hamper), best ever! We stayed as a convenient pick up point for Billy Tea Safaris from Cairns, on their wonderful Granite Gorge, Skybury, Dimbulah, Almaden, Chillagoe Caves (the major drawcard) and incredible Balancing Rock long / comprehensive day tour. Not to be missed. Also, for a short drive to beautiful Kuranda, to pick up the excellent Skyrail down to Smithfield, Cairns, and back. Reverse of normal trip, way to go!! trish on the desk was wonderful. Great value, good old FNQ charm! :-) alan and barb…
