We had some difficulty opening the key box. Other older guests may find a similar situation. We were not able to open the box easily. Not a big problem as we and our dogs loved our stay with you. Regards, Michael & Mary

Very convenient
Perfect location and secure parking for vehicle and boat behind gates. Unit very clean and tidy with everything you require. Our bluey loved his own little yard and patio to sleep on after a big day out on the water. Only a short walk to the beachfront via a walkway. Excellent

Well equipped duplex
The duplex suited us , fully fenced and enough room to park our car and boat, Very quiet and a good location. However the unit is in need of a good spring clean, the mat and lounges need cleaning, one of the freezer drawers had food residue on it, the windows on the sliding doors were very dirty and when the sun hits them in the afternoon it was very noticeable, dusty venetian blinds, food scraps on the table underneath the bbq. It is very reasonable priced, and we would return if it was cleaned up and maintained. I have several photos if the owner is interested in me passing them on.

Excellent, clean, fresh and welcoming
Jacks Shack is a well appointed house which has everything you could desire except wifi but bring it with you. It’s clean, freshly painted, cool throughout, a/c and fans in bedrooms, fan in lounge area. Spacious back yard for car or boat and being pet friendly is the bonus. We will be back, highly recommended this accommodation in Burrum Heads.

About the host

Hosted by Cath Smeeton

Host profile image
Building memories is so important as you never know how long you or your loved ones are here for. There is no better way to build memories than spending time at the beach swimming, reading a book, taking the dogs for a swim, doing a spot of fishing of the river banks and jetty or being out on a boat with family and friends.

Why they chose this property

Jack's Shack is our place to build new memories, after loosing our son Jack to suicide at the tender age of 21. Jack loved to fish and be outdoors, so Jack's Shack would have been his dream holiday destination. To reflect his generous nature, we are sharing this beautiful part of the world and his Shack with others. It is a very special place for our family so please come and enjoy it, look after it and love it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Come and see it to believe what a special part of the world Burrum Heads is. The Foodworks does the most amazing ice-creams! It's worth coming here just for that!
