The Gold Coast has come a long way from being the nation’s surfing and nightlife capital in the 1980s. The city’s now the fifth-most populated city in Australia and a genuine family-friendly destination with an enviable range of attractions. Tourism is a strong suit, but the city now has a burgeoning construction and real estate industry building towering skyscrapers and large estates.
Some of the Gold Coast’s expanding sectors may come as a surprise. The film industry is estimated to have contributed about $1.8 billion in Queensland and particularly on the Gold Coast, where a number of high-profile Hollywood titles have been filmed, including: Thor: Ragnarok, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, The Railway Man and Dora the Explorer.
Considering all the activity, it’s not a surprise to see business trips to the Gold Coast rose 19 per cent last year. And the larger the projects in property and film, the more high profile the visitors to the Coast are.
Executive rentals
Accommodation is one of the keys to getting the most out of executive level staff or top talent during their visit to the Gold Coast. The right accommodation will make their trip to work hassle-free, reduce their housework and provide an incredible environment conducive to productivity or relaxation.
Elite Holiday Homes offers a portfolio of Gold Coast homes perfectly suited to corporate clients, executive teams and even movie stars or elite production crews.
Easily accessible
Elite Holiday Homes are conveniently located in the hubs of the Gold Coast, including Main Beach, Surfers Paradise, Burleigh and Broadbeach, meaning many Elite Holiday Homes are within walking distance of world class dining precincts and beaches. These suburbs are also where some of the city’s major projects are taking place.
For those working on the major projects on the north of the coast or in film at Movie World, one of the most popular locations for movie production, My Holiday Concierge is able to organise transfers for guests from Elite Holiday Homes. My Holiday Concierge also specialises in helping guests get to their home from the airport and to the airport from their home.
Elite Holiday Homes can be hired for a period of time ranging from a few days to six months – any time that is specified.
Reducing the housework
Each Elite Holiday Home comes ready for a stay: set out with high-quality furnishings and professionally cleaned. Through My Holiday Concierge, the option exists to book additional cleans throughout the course of the stay to renew amenities like shampoo, soap, kitchen and laundry liquids; replace linen; or conduct more thorough services including vacuuming and bathroom cleans. My Holiday Concierge’s housekeepers and cleaners take time to understand the individual requirements of Elite Holiday Home guests and ensure homes are maintained to an impeccable standard.
If guests don’t have the time or inclination to cook, one of My Holiday Concierge’s most popular services can come to the rescue. An experienced culinary team can come out to any Elite Holiday Home and cook up a two-course feast from a set menu or create a custom-made menu that guests desire.
The right environment
Elite Holiday Homes are designed with an emphasis on detail. Each home is equipped with high-end appliances and furnishings, while artwork and internal colour palettes inspired by the city’s surrounds helps guests feel truly at home during their stay.
Whether guests are looking to escape from work, or work in peace at home, an Elite Holiday Home is the perfect environment. All homes come with a comprehensive Foxtel package, while many feature a combination of an outdoor pool, a cinema room, entertainment room and pool table for relaxation or unstructured fun. Each home also has a Wi-Fi package, so work can easily be completed at home and the expansive indoor/outdoor spaces ensure comfort for work – or, potentially, room for meetings. Many of the homes are located on the waterfront or even beachfront – a tranquil setting for working or relaxing at the end of a long day.
Elite Holiday Homes range in size from the four-bedroom Mermaid Beach Break for up to eight people, to the 10-bedroom Eutopia, which can fit 20 people. Bedrooms are expansive and offer plenty of personal space and privacy.
Compared to hotels…
With huge entertainment areas, exclusive facilities, incredible views and service to reduce chores, Elite Holiday Homes are ideally suited as a short or long-term executive rental. They provide all the comforts of home, plenty of personal space, and a familiarity that a hotel room cannot replicate
It is also worth considering that Elite Holiday Homes are generally competitive with hotel prices. For example, consider the Jewel of Broadbeach, available in October for $918 a night, which equates to $153 per bedroom per night, while a hotel apartment of a similar standard is $176 per night. Or the five-bedroom Point Break on Burleigh, which is available during October for $645 per night, or $129 per bedroom per night, compared to similar accommodation in the suburb for $280 a night.
