NEW GUESTY SOFTWARE!

Behind the holiday rental scenes with Guesty

Ever wondered how we manage our holiday rental list?  Ever wondered how we manage it?
Well, this magic happens with a piece of property management software called a ‘Channel Manager’.
Now a Channel Manager kind of is like an inventory system. So if you think about house its like stock on a shelf, a Channel Manager keeps track of our housing stock and when it is available for rent.
In the past, we used the RMS Channel Manager, but found that we had outgrown its capabilities.  So early this year, we made the jump across to Guesty. 
Luke, our resident tech and numbers head, has been in charge of our transition from RMS to Guesty and it has not been an easy process.  But, he has persevered, and just this month (in time for End of Financial Year) has finally ironed the kinks out of the transition.
Tracey, our holiday Concierge, can now use it to manage ALL of holiday homes and make sure that we are listed on a bunch of platforms including Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and our own website.
Simply, Guesty helps us to manage all things holiday rental in one place. But, what we love the most about Guesty are the automations and guest management services that Guesty offers.
Guesty is also super easy to use. It offers a one-of-a-kind unified inbox that allows us, to stay on top of, and ahead of, our guest messages. This simple one stop shop means that we can deliver fast and responsive customer service; how cool is that!

OUR COMMERCIAL LAUNDRY
 
 
 
Did you know that at Tailem Bend, we have a commercial laundry? Yep, a commercial laundry that was purpose-built to process holiday home linens and towels. 
Across our portfolio, Coorong Realty manages a bunch of holiday rentals, and these homes generate a load of washing.
And, to support this mountain of washing, we have a regular laundry team that washes, dries and irons on a weekly basis.
There are dedicated washing machines for both white and coloured items. Recently we added a chemical bar to our main machines, which means that all linen (especially the whites) comes out ultra bright and fresh.
Our commercial laundry also looks after employees from across the wider Swan Group, including Swan Brothers, Swan Agri, Swan Earthmovers and Coorong Realty by offering them the option of getting their work clothes cleaned at the commercial laundry. 
Our dedicated hot wash machine is proving really popular, with our team.  The hot wash machine was installed earlier this year and it makes easy work of greasy work overalls.  Our commercial laundry does service external holiday homes and other workforce washing. 
Give Nicki a call, at the office on 8572 4555, and she can explain how we can help you with your commercial washing needs.
 
 
Winter stay special at The Blue House!
As locals, we think that Winter on the Coorong is the best time for a getaway! Yeah, it does get cold, but that is the best part because it is calm and it is the best time for exploring the hidden secrets of the Coorong!
And, to make your break extra special #TheBlueHouse at Meningie is offering a cheeky pay for 2; stay for 3 nights deal during Winter!

LAGUNA RETREAT


This month, we are super excited to announce a new addition to our Holiday Rentals on the Coorong Laguna Retreat.
Our holiday rental Concierge, Tracey Seymour, thinks this property is the bomb because it’s a feeling of being home away from home, with nothing to do, or everything to do.
Tracey told us, that she especially loved sitting on the front verandah, in the tranquility of a breath-taking view across the lagoon and enjoying a glass of something sweet in her hand.
Says Tracey 'the words coming into my mind are restful, relaxing, recharge and my favourite “unwind”. The peace and quiet are a change, and I like it…
And, finally, Tracey reminded us that if fishing, walking, bike riding or even enjoying bird life is your thing, it’s ALL here!
This beautiful home gives you the opportunity to do all of that. Tracey also recommends that while you stay that you take the opportunity to experience the Coorong National Park and discover the rich flora and fauna it has to offer.
