5 expert tips to help travellers find and save on the perfect holiday home

1. Book your holiday home at least 2 months before travel dates. It can help you find a better selection of homes*.

2. Be flexible on beach stays during peak periods like Easter or summer. Toggle between travel dates and compare destinations on the app.

3. Travel during a seasonal dip. Rates can drop after the high season, making May the sweet spot when average daily rates are usually at their lowest, while the weather is still warm in many parts of Australia*.

4. Score discounts for longer stays. You can save on select weeklong and monthly bookings.

5. Try new listings. Be among the first three guests at select new properties to get a discount.
