Can special requests (like early check-in or late check-out) be accommodated?

We always strive to be as flexible as possible. While we do accommodate such requests when feasible, please understand that same-day changeovers can sometimes present logistical challenges.

Is there a minimum stay requirement?

Yes, there is a 2-night minimum stay requirement to stay at any of our homes, year-round.

What areas do you service?

We service Melbourne from the CBD down to the inner-south-east and St Kilda, the Bayside, The Dandenong Ranges and the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia. If you have a property in another area please do still contact us, as we are constantly expanding our area of operations.

How long does the process take for my property to be listed and be ready for guests?

Once we have a signed agreement, we arrange photography to come within the week (weather dependant). Each home is different and may require longer if styling, deep cleaning, gardening, linen, towels or handyman works are required.

After photography, we usually have your property ready to receive bookings within 3-5 days.

Are your services tax deductible?

Some of our services may be, but you should check with your accountant to assess your individual situation.

What if a guest steals or breaks something during their stay?

After checkout, we do a thorough review at the property and look for any damage. If we find any, we raise the issue with the guests and booking platform for you and deduct the costs from the guest. However, we do advise you to take out separate insurance to cover you for damage that cannot be recuperated from the guests. We can share details of our insurance broker to help you determine which cover is best for you.

What are your fees?

We charge a percentage fee for our service. You can contact us to discuss this fee in further detail. Our fees are very competitive for the industry, expertise and service we provide to our property owners. This fee is explained in detail in our written proposal that owners are given following a discussion of their needs and review of their property.

Are pets allowed to stay?

Please contact us for your particular property, as we do allow pets at some of our homes, but not all.
