This is our 2sd time staying at Jacks shack. We love it here so much and family who came to visit us also were all full of compliments about the shack. Easy walking distance to beach and shops and a huge bonus is the large parking spac.

This is a place to stay, it has everything you could possibly need, close to everything, very comfortable and affordable. Had a little trouble getting the code for keys though but sorted out. Many thanks to Cathy Smeeton, for her patience

Great place to have a relaxing holiday 1 street off from the beach
Very pet safe and friendly
Would be nice to have a bigger mirror instead of a 30cm round one that’s way to high to see anything ha

So clean and comfortable with everything we needed. Perfect with our Golden Retriever with the fully fenced yard. We walked to the cafes, the beach and the pub for dinner.

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.

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

Great stay, I needed to speak to the owner a couple times but she was very prompt in answering & helpful. Not keen on the narrow driveway though.

We absolutely loved staying at Jacks Shack and did not want to leave! Comfy bed, lots of room for parking, lovely undercover seating bbq area, dishwasher and the list goes on!
The neighbour in the front unit is so friendly too! Will be back :)

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.

well appointed super quiet place to stay,one negative which didnt suit me was that they dont send the key code until day of arrival which is annoying when yr travelling large distances to get there.
