Consistent sunny weather has produced some good results for February and the Easter school holidays is filling up slowly. There continues to be a strong trend towards people taking shorter breaks more often, and the propensity for guests to book a full weeks accommodation seems to be diminishing. On the upside this trend means people are choosing destinations close to home, usually within 2-3 hours travel time. This is good news for the Central Coast, which is the perfect short break from Sydney.
Accom Holidays is Growing! Introducing Accom Holidays Northern Beaches...
We are thrilled to announce the growth of our company with a new office opening on the Northern Beaches, Sydney. Welcome to Margaret Howarth who joins us with extensive real estate and holiday rental experience. Accom Holidays Northern Beaches is already receiving guest enquiries and is on the look-out for properties.

Emphasise the Appeal of Your Property Through Winter:
As we approach our off season (winter season), it is worth examining strategies to keep the bookings coming in.
1) Specials: the obvious way to attract additional enquiries is to offer specials/deals. These enticements work well in periods where supply is much greater than demand and could make a difference to the occupancy/vacancy of your property.
2) Emphasise Appealing Features: this could include changing the lead photo to a cosy fireplace, sauna room, outdoor fire pit, movie/cinema room, hot tub. It is also a great time to change headings to state these inclusions and sell other demands such as FOXTEL and Wi-Fi.
3) Target a Different Market: considering a longer term tenant through the quiet period can fill your property during the quieter months. We constantly come across clients in between houses, Sydneysiders looking to try the Coast and corporate bookings.
Please contact Tammerly to discuss options: tammerly.r@accomholidays.com / 4385 9564.
