Everything was so well provided for. Instructions clear and Jack's Shack lovely. We would absolutely book again. We were even welcomed warmly by the neighbour! Thank you.
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.
The kitchen was set up with everything you could possibly need. It was very pet friendly including puppy pee pads ( which we didn't need but great to see. ) Loved the safe back yard for the dog.
Quiet except sometimes caravan park users were loud but it was Melbourne cup day during our stay.Very private and safe for dogs. Initially Wi-Fi was an issue.
As soon as you walk in jack shack it is homely, clean , comfortable its a home away from home , checkin was easy the kitchen facilities modern clean .We had our 2 dogs and having a place to stay that caters for your fur babies makes the stay relaxing . Plenty of space and secure outdoors
Lovely, comfortable cottage, just around the walkway from the river

About the host
Hosted by Cath Smeeton
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!
