gdjones Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hi! Any idea of holiday rentals agencies? If read on Perth poms that everyone that's emigrating they stay at a holiday rental first for a couple of weeks before buying/renting house. Is this the best option? I suppose it makes sence really, at least you can jump off the plane straight into bed!! I take it all holiday rentals are fully furnished?

nikkiwd Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 We just booked ours with ozhouserental.com we found some were more house for your money than other websites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideshowdeb Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 We just booked ours with ozhouserental.com we found some were more house for your money than other websites Good call! Much cheaper than stayz.com. For us it meant we could book a holiday let for an extra couple of weeks so that we don't have as much pressure to find a rental.

ecass3 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I agree with Nikki, the Ozhouserentals.com were very helpful & gave us options around the area we wanted. Happy days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdjones Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Thanks for the post everyone! ........ ...............Hi Jo, were hoping to move around NOR, depending where the work is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideshowdeb Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Just out of interest, how long should one book a holiday let for? My OH thinks it's best not to commit too long, however I think the longer the better. I've heard so many people saying how difficult it can be to lease a house without a job and that even offering 6 months up front hasn't helped?!

nikkiwd Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 We have our rental for 4 weeks so hopefully find something in that time. I think last year there was a lot of competition for rentals meaning it was quite hard to get one over a 'better candidate' but I have read things are a bit better now so fingers crossed we all find what we are looking for. I think the beach suburbs will always be more in demand though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkiwd Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 we will be in Ridgewood, further north than we want to be but its a base anyway. Not far from Mindarie and the beach so thats fine for us, will just go into the city once or twice to sort out all the formalities then start checking suburbs out and looking at rentals.

nikkiwd Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 how about you sideshowdeb? do you have kids and what ages are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideshowdeb Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Yeah, 15 and 6. We've (finally) decided to base ourselves SOR to start with, but I believe there's lots of building work north of Clarkson so we're totally open minded and will definitely have a day or two exploring that area. I have a 3 hour+ commute here and I've promised them I won't do that again so we really have to go where the work is, and then of course, find a lovely suburb, great schools and our dream house! Easy peasy!? :smile2: What about you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
