Visited Thursday on business and was recommended the Jardine Motel. You can only book this place by telephone (no websire or published email address). The clerk on the telephone offered a standard room for AUD220 or a sea view room for AUD240. I opted for a sea view room and received a printed confirmation of my booking with all details... More

I have eaten at the restaurant here many times; both for lunch and dinner. The chefs do an absolutely incredible job and the dinner menu is superb. I had the tortellini with scallops last time we were there. Just beautiful. Its a shame they haven't got their cocktail/bar situation worked out yet. I remember back in the day, the fabulous,...

The Jardine is in the main street of Thursday Island, it is an older motel that has had some renovation. The room I stayed in had a nice view of the Coral sea. There is a fan and an airconditioner you may also open a window to get sea breezes, although it's usally pretty humid most of the year. The... More

Where do I start? I do not recognise the Motel the other reviewers describe. I did not have high expectations so was not disappointed. Unlike the other reviews, bland reception, no help with luggage up the stairs, telephone dusty and did not work, no remote for the airconditioner, bright lights outside the room on all night and no hot water...

I stayed two nights at the Jardine, and must agree, the service and genuine warmth from management and staff made my stay a real pleasure. The room itself was immaculate, the bar and restaurant were wonderful, and had the chance to have a good old fashioned yarn with the owner. I highly recommend the Jardine to anyone looking to stay...

Staff were welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Dinner in the Resturant was as fine a meal as you... More

On arriving at this Motel we had no idea of the wonderful sutprise we were instore for. As we were with a tour group the staff went out of their way to hel with all the luggage and in any other way they could. The rooms were clean and comfortable but the big surprise was the Dining Menu. It would... More

Good rooms for its location but just a warning never stay during the week end even on friday nights live band makes it impossible to sleep. And don't bother using the do not clean door messages staff will enter when ever they want.

We stayed 5 nights. From the time of our arrival we found the staff to be pleasant and very helpful. By the time we left they were like old friends. The room was clean and comfortable, there was a queen and twin bed, a table with two chairs and plenty of room to move around. The fridge and the a/c... More
