Jack's Shack is great! The place was extremely clean and well supplied with everything you might need. The yard is secure and our dog was very happy. There was ample room for our boat to be behind closed gates.

The kitchen was fine. As we were there for 2 weeks we really needed a pantry. Lady next door was lovely. We had a lot of rain and the outside area was not the best with all the strong winds.

Thanks for your review. What a shame the weather was a bit ordinary for some of your stay. Not many outdoor areas up north are great when the weather picks up unfortunately.

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!
