Benefits of Self Contained Holiday Apartments Caloundra

Self contained apartment-style holiday accommodation has become very trendy in the holiday market, with many people preferring the ‘Airbnb’ and ‘homestays’ options over traditional hotels. This is because of the many benefits afforded by these self contained apartments.

Space

Self contained apartments are quite a bit bigger than the standard hotel room, with our apartment accommodation varying from 2,3 and 4 bedroom apartments with full-sized kitchen and dining, living space and laundry. This makes it perfect for families and even holidays with friends, as it gives everyone a nice amount of breathing room instead of being cramped and uncomfortable. The extra space gives you the ability to have some private time to yourself while giving the kids a place to play and offer a more relaxed atmosphere as opposed to hotel rooms.

Budget on food and accommodation

Holidays can be quite expensive when you factor in the accommodation, activities/things to do and eating out 3 + meals a day. This quickly ads up when you have a family of 4 or more to feed. Self contained apartments actually provide you with the ability to save money in many different ways and cater to your needs. Some of our bigger apartments have the ability to sleep 4 adults and 4 kids, meaning that you can share an apartment with friends or family at half the cost. This is a huge money saver.

The ability to cook meals for your family or prepare lunches to take with you on day trips certainly is a convenient and budget friendly way of catering for your family. These days you are looking at minimum $20pp at a restaurant and if there are 4 or more 3 x a day this adds up.

Do you have family members that are picky eaters or have allergies? Another great reason to love self contained apartments, as you can cook something for everyone and not worry about if there is a restaurant that will cater to your specific dietary requirements or picky eaters.

Privacy

We understand you wish to have your privacy and alone time while on holiday, which is why self contained apartments are such a good choice. You won’t be running into lots of people on hotel floors or hearing them through the walls, as our apartments give you plenty of space away from other guests.
