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.

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.

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
