We have fairly recently diversed into a holiday rental in the Gippsland area, Victoria.
Does anyone have any tips as to how to advertise the property for rental. The local agent is handling it, but is dragging feet at getting it up on his internet site.
It is though on his printed list, and he has obtained only one weeks rent.
How else can I cheeply reach a potential market?
It is being offered at the lower end of holiday rental, where the people provide their own linen, pillows, towels, while the kitchen, lounge, dining, bedrooms are furnished.
If I also offer it with linen (optional), how do I cost this expense? Is there anyone else out there who offers linen as an option, and how do they cost it?
For a holiday in Gippsland with lake and ocean beach access, where do people look? Where could these people be from? Melbourne, Canberra? etc?
In preparing the place, how do I make it more attractive, what information do people find useful, encouraging them to book?
Once they are there what information do they find useful to mean they come back and recommend you to others?
Sorry about the dumbness of these questions, but to help focus how to get the best out of this new venture, I'd love to here from someone with some ideas / experience in this area, either as users of holiday rentals or investors offering this sort of business.
