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. Regards, Michael & Mary

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

Well equipped duplex
The duplex suited us , fully fenced and enough room to park our car and boat, Very quiet and a good location. However the unit is in need of a good spring clean, the mat and lounges need cleaning, one of the freezer drawers had food residue on it, the windows on the sliding doors were very dirty and when the sun hits them in the afternoon it was very noticeable, dusty venetian blinds, food scraps on the table underneath the bbq. It is very reasonable priced, and we would return if it was cleaned up and maintained. I have several photos if the owner is interested in me passing them on.

Excellent, clean, fresh and welcoming
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.

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 :)

Not what it says
Host is non communicative, and not friendly. House is a unit joined with another, and it’s at the back, with a skinny driveway over 50 metres, with fencing on both sides and I did ask about room for our boat. If you can’t reverse every time you utilised the boat, don’t use this unit. It’s not boat friendly. Furniture is older than me, with stuffing falling out. We organised linen, but apparently she was let go, so we had no sheets or towels for two days, and there was no communication from the owner except to email me, a list the morning before we arrived ( not 24 hours before), of the rules, and how to open the key lock, so I noticed the linen lady had disappeared and had to contact a new person for problems, obviously no linen was my problem. We were woken early on our first day at 7am, solar panels being installed, and trades made a racket on the roof of the first unit, and blocked us getting out. Owners brief message was minimal disturbance, with no apology for organising the installation while we were here. No contact by the owner as a welcome, no how was your stay, instead I got another email with an attached schedule the day before we left, about a meter being installed by the energy company.I replied directly to the host, quite annoyed, only to be finally emailed that I was being rude. My comment was that it really has nothing to do with me, and did they realise we were leaving the next morning. So don’t bring a boat, it’s not a house, host definitely not friendly

Convenient & Comfortable
We had a lovely stay at Jack's Shack. This villa was well presented, spacious for our family of four, and located in close proximity to the river, and not far from the town's shopping precinct. We appreciated being able to park our car behind a gate. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed using the barbeque too. It was great to know there was a washing machine available if we needed it. We just needed to bring sheets and towels - blankets were provided. Can highly recommend.
