Connecting Your Property with our Distribution Channels

Managing holiday rental properties is a totally different ball-game to managing permanent residential properties.  It requires not only different skills, but also a different form of management, as the manager is dealing generally with a very diverse range of people in the tourist trade.  As holiday property management is all we do, and as we have collectively over 50 years of holiday rentals experience between us, we do it well!

Occupancy Rates: Caloundra Holiday Centre has consistently achieved for its landlords a good return for their holiday rental property.
We Get Results.

Marketing

We know how to pro-actively market holiday rentals.  We do not simply put a sandwich board out front hoping for a walk-in enquiry off the street.  We find 90% of our holidaymakers before they get to Caloundra, or from our many repeat bookings.

Our owners’ properties are featured in an attractive professionally designed full-colour DL envelope-sized 64-page booklet with colour photos of the properties plus a location map and other details such as conditions of letting, how to book, what to bring, what to do in Caloundra etc.  These booklets, printed 15,000 at a time, are taken from our office at an incredible rate (we are constantly filling up our brochure stands); mailed out the same day to people who respond to our advertising; distributed by the Visitor Information Centre; and also we have them distributed throughout the western Queensland area where we get a lot of our customers from. Our regular advertising program encompasses newspapers throughout northern NSW up to mid-Queensland where the country people still get a newspaper and are popular areas that we get many of our visitors from.  Yellow Pages and various special print features in other areas when featuring the Sunshine Coast or Caloundra.  We have a high spend on Google to keep us ranking as high as possible on many different search words and phrases. We also have your property listed on various websites such as Visit Sunshine Coast, as well as of course our own website, and we take a high proportion of our bookings on-line and by e-mail.   We can also list you on Stayz, HomeAway, and Booking.com if you wish, and these sites intergrate with our website.

Cleaners

We allocate a particular cleaner to each holiday property, so that the cleaner gets to know that property and its contents, and we are alerted to small things wearing out for instance, that perhaps only a regular cleaner would notice.  Our cleaners take pride in their properties.

Repairs

When guests report equipment malfunction, or when breakages are observed, we will arrange local tradespeople to repair as economically as possible. Where necessary, we will employ licensed tradespeople. We buy and keep a stock of kettles, toasters, mops, mattress protectors, pillows, light bulbs, batteries etc, so that they are immediately available should a cleaner or guest require one.

Frequent Stayers Club

We offer free membership to our holiday guests once they have stayed with us for the third time. Our Frequent Stayers Club provides discounts and specials at many tourist attractions and restaurants, and helps to obtain the loyalty of our guests, thus obtaining valuable repeat business.

Management Fees and Charges
