"Very comfortable, peaceful, relaxing premium hotel. The staff were all very warm and welcoming, always smiling and greeting. The vineyard room had a beautiful view. The bed was super comfortable. Heated bathroom floor was a bonus. I was surprised the room lacked tea as it would have been nice to enjoy an evening or morning sitting in the balcony having a tea. Most basic hotels always include tea. However the complimentary mini bar and snacks were a very nice touch..."

It’s modern and quirky, perfect touches in the rooms like the heated bathroom floors, very clean and overall maintained to a high standard inside and out—miles above most hotels in Australia. This hotel represents Australia with taste. I would definitely stay here again."

"We had our elopement at Jackalope and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. The setting is absolutely stunning and created such a beautiful, intimate atmosphere for our day. The hospitality was truly above and beyond—every detail felt so well looked after, and the whole experience was seamless and special from start to finish. A special thank you to Celina and Jade for helping make our day so memorable. We’ll be talking about this place for a long time...."

"Our two-night stay at Jackalope Hotel was truly exceptional. From the warm welcome we received at reception from Karen to the moment we departed, every staff member we encountered was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. A special thank you to the fantastic bar team — Riley, Frank, and Tristan at Flaggerdoot. They provided outstanding service and went above and beyond to assist with wine selections when my first choice was unavailable. Their knowledge and willingness to help made the experience..."
