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.

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.
