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

Very convenient
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.

So clean and comfortable with everything we needed. Perfect with our Golden Retriever with the fully fenced yard. We walked to the cafes, the beach and the pub for dinner.
