StraighttothePoint Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) There seems to be a lot of issues surrounding new arrivals and the difficulty everyone is facing in terms of trying to secure long term rentals. It perhaps would be good if people could share their experiences and let others know what they did, or are planning to do, if they did not go straight into a long term rental or stay with relatives when they first arrived. If you came over in the last couple of years or so:- Who was / is involved, i.e how many people? Where did you stay or Where are you planning to stay, i.e not with relatives or straight to a long term rental? What type of accommodation was it / is it, e.g. holiday home, short term let, rooms in a private home, granny flat, hotel, camp site etc? How long were you there for / Do you plan to stay for? How much did it cost per week? What did / does it include as part of the accommodation package cost? e.g. all utility costs, food starter pack, pick up from airport etc. Any other comments? e.g Was it a long enough stay?, Did you / Did you / Can you break the agreement if you get a long term rental soooner than expected? etc etc Edited January 18, 2013 by StraighttothePoint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LadyW Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 1. 2 adults 2. Short term rental for 3 weeks (staying with an aussie) 3. House through airbnb.com 4. 3 weeks. Now in short term rental (6 months) 5. 350 a week (first rental) 6. First rental - all utilities including wifi and Foxtel 7. I would deifnitely recommend short term rental for at least 4 weeks whilst you look at other rentals as it is competitive. Make a rental pack including references and a profile on yourselves, pics of your last house, finances etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Give me a break! Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 1. 2 Adults 2 children 2. 1 month 3. Holiday home ( Stayz.com ) 4. 3 weeks 5. $1000 6. Everything included ( No Foxtel or Internet) 7. It's worth asking Holuday Home owner for reference and think about what time of year you arrive. Dec , Jan Easter people seem to struggle more getting rentals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
