My mum, sister and myself had the lovley time away. Bery comfortable, clean and just a great place to relax and watcj the tide come on amd out.time chilling
Property was very clean and well equipped. Location was great with plenty of parking. House could be opened up to get sea breeze. Easy access to cafes and short drive to Hervey Bay. Would stay again.
What a beautiful little spot! The kids had a great time fishing off the rocks and swimming. The house was very clean and had everything that we required for a lovely Christmas Day.
Ultimate relaxation spot immediately next to beach
Well-presented and set-up for families, we had a wonderful time, and especially enjoyed using the kayak that was supplied (we had brought the kids' own as well).
Only thing to note is that Google maps takes you to the wrong esplanade (on the other side of Toogoom, about 5 minutes away) - best to type in Moreton St and follow that through to the end.
Great little 3 bedroom place across the 'road' from Beelbi Creek overlooking the bay. Very relaxing watching the tide rise & fall making land appear & disappear. Some great fishing as well without a boat required.
Fully stocked kitchen & good bathroom with great shower.
FYI Lots of equipment, games & books for young children.
Our stay at Jack's Shack was awesome.
The house is bigger then it looks in the photos, really well equipped for families and the view from the house was spectacular. Great spot to fish, boat and kayak or just relax and enjoy the view.
Thanks Toni for being a wonderful host. Look forward to staying again soon.
My second stay was quiet ammazing once again.Leave the main bedroom blinds up and enjoy amazing sun rises every day.Great for short walks to the inlet channel beach...beaytiful shells and seascapes
I stayed at Jack's Shack with my 2 little ones for 5 nights in Jan 2023. I was happy to discover that Woolworths in Hervey Bay deliver to Toogoom, so organised groceries to be delivered on the afternoon of our arrival. The house had everything we needed and more and had beautiful breezes throughout. I loved the serenity and tapping out from the hustle and bustle of every day life. We definitely hope to go back.
Highly recommend staying!! it was a great little get away with some of the work mates being able to fish right of your door step tops it off, hosts where very polite and generous people. 5 star rating from us😃
As soon as you walk in you are welcome with signage stating our home is your home and you truly feel it.
Well equipped kitchen, bathroom and all bedrooms.
Even some outdoor Toys for the kids and adults 🙂
Was a lovely time at a beautiful location.
We love Jack's Shack! The view of the ocean directly across the road is spectacular. It's not near any urban setting, just a small village. There's a cafe and restaurant just up the road but no major shops. Limited internet access. Perfect if you want to get away from it all.
