What are Monthly Rentals?
We don’t just talk the talk, we walk the walk
Monthly rentals (also known as medium-term stays) cater to guests booking for 28 days or more including:
- Insurance-funded families displaced by flood, fire, or renovation
- Corporate relocators or project-based consultants
- Health travellers and NDIS participants
- Remote workers seeking lifestyle relocations
These guests stay longer, pay more, and treat properties like home reducing wear, turnover, and vacancy gaps.
