Why Choosing a Local Management Team Matters for your Holiday Home

A local management team brings invaluable knowledge of the area. They understand the seasonal trends, know the best local suppliers, and can provide guests with insider tips that enhance their stay. This local touch not only improves the guest experience but also boosts your property’s reputation.

Our local tradies often help us out by attending properties quickly while they’re out and about, our housekeepers can drop into homes throughout their day of needed and our suppliers can drop things to properties if guests have requested a last minute item (if they’re able to).

Our team knows which areas book the best and which areas tend to be a bit slower and where we need to adjust rates. We’re also on top of trends for our area and know what the general lead time to bookings are and how long guests book for. This all affects how we manage your bookings and return stays.

Issues can arise at any time—a leaky tap, a power outage, or a guest locked out. A local team can address these problems swiftly, often within minutes. Their proximity ensures that your property is always in top-notch condition, and guests feel cared for.

If guests lock keys out or need help during business hours we can assist quickly + usually head out to the home to see exactly what’s wrong. If it’s after hours we have systems in place to help our guests, but in the event of a real emergency we can jump into action and personally help out our guests, as we are all local to our properties. We’ve had an instance where one of our team members was relocating a guest at 1am to another property because of a power outage and they couldn’t get back into the home they’d booked. We resolved this problem fairly quickly and the guest was happy with the outcome.  Not ideal, but we could help because we are local.

Large, corporate management companies may treat your property as just another listing. In contrast, a local team offers personalised service, tailoring their approach to meet your specific needs and those of your guests. This bespoke attention can lead to better reviews and repeat bookings.

We ensure that we are auditing your listings to see if photos need updating or refreshing, if the copy needs changing or if the home would benefit from a restyle to update it in order to get more bookings. We look at our holiday homes, not just as your asset, but our asset too. If we find that a home isn’t getting as many bookings as we think it should be, we deep dive into why this might be the case and test and measure strategies to increase bookings.

It’s all about doing the best for you and your home.

By choosing a local management team, you’re investing in the community. Local teams often collaborate with nearby businesses, from cleaning services to maintenance professionals, ensuring that your property’s upkeep supports the local economy.

We contract all local cleaners and trades to service the holiday homes we manage – they have better knowledge of homes in this area (sometimes these beachfront homes have strange quirks that you only know about when you live here!).

We also love to give back to the small businesses around us – the GC is really booming with small businesses these days and we love to feature these spots that we enjoy going to. We have The Locals Club where our guests (and owners) have access to discounts to local businesses that have teamed up with us. It’s some of our favourite places to eat, drink and shop – check out our list of partners here.

Keeping it local with our sustainable amenities, we use Eco Cheeks toilet paper and our bulk cleaning and body products are all sourced locally too.
