Bring own towels, bedding of sheets and pillowcase. Bring extra toilet paper and tea towel, and box of tissues would help. Otherwise everything is there. Quiet place, bedrooms aircon, not in lounge only fans. Cool unit with spacious areas. Dog friendly is a bonus

About the host

Hosted by Cath Smeeton

Host profile image
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!
