About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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 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

Jack’s Shack

Jack’s Shack is a 2 bedroom unit with parking available at back. Short drive to the boat ramp. Hair dryer, Washing Machine, iron and ironing board available. Some board games supplied. The unit had outdoor seating with bbq. We needed to bring own sheets and pillows. Good base to explore Burrum Heads and surrounds.

Peaceful & Relaxing

Loved Burrum Heads. Plenty to see and do. Boating, fishing, site seeing, etc: Not far from Hervey Bay and other towns. Great shopping. When staying at Jacks Shacks remember to take your own bed sheets and towels as they are not provided. Unfortunately, the apartment was not clean. Need to dispose of the kettle as it is very dirty and old. I had an appointment at Bundaberg Hospital afterward we went home to get our kettle. The toaster was full of bread crumbs. The 2 seater lounge under the cushions was full of food scraps. We cleaned it. As we are paying for a cleaning fee this is not good enough. One thing I will mention there were plenty of utilities etc: We used the barbeque for cooking so that there were no cooking smells inside the apartment. There were a few dead cockroaches found in the laundry and the washing machine filter was chock block. Looked like it had not been cleaned out for some time. Watch out for cane toads in the garden. All in all, we had a nice break away at Burrum Heads.

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.
