Jack's Shack - Burrum Heads - Relax, fish and swim

Close to the water, pub and boat ramp what more could you want for a perfect holiday. This property has a fully secured back yard for dogs and off street parking. It's a five minute walk to the water, a short stroll to the local hotel and bottle shop and the boat ramp is just around the corner. If you are looking for a comfortable and well located property, look no further. Please note linen is not supplied but can be booked directly through our cleaner if required.

We love the shsck. We always come with our own supplies. So we werent too worried that the cleaners didnt get to do there top up of toilet paper etc. The unit was not dirty as the clients before left it in great shape. The dish washer was full but kitchen clean and tidy.We have stayed here a few times now and have always been satified with the fridge size and warm showers and the layout of the unit.We love the lady next door .she is such as wonderful soul. The cleaner came to make sure we were ok and i ensured her we were fine.Thankyou for our little breaks and we will.always be happy to return.
