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.

After booking - I read the reviews and I now understand most of them. Once you have stayed at Jacks Shack you'll feel not only like it's home away from home, but part of it's greater family.
