Research has found anywhere from a fifth to half of Australian workers check their emails on their holidays. It is a practice that compromises what a getaway is about – escaping the office, breaking the structure of life, and turning our attention to recharging.
We would say checking emails on holidays is a bad practice, yet many of us would have no hesitation about performing chores on holidays – doing the housework, slaving over a hot stove or shopping around for the best deals when we should be relaxing.
Enter My Holiday Concierge – a service devoted to making your holiday easier!
You may already be aware that Elite Holiday Homes offer a dazzling array of Gold Coast properties with incredible features like pools, large living and outdoor spaces, entertainment rooms, indoor cinemas and spacious bedrooms. These are located at a range of sought after locations, including near some of the Coast’s finest eateries in Broadbeach, the water sport havens near Main Beach, beachfront at Miami and in the secluded Gold Coast hinterland.
Elite Holiday Homes are perfect for large family holidays, getaways with friends, or corporate retreats with key Executives. However, with larger numbers comes a need for planning and structure. This is where My Holiday Concierge can help Elite Holiday Home guests.
My Holiday Concierge can help you by providing catering, transfers and car hire, equipment hire, housekeeping and nanny services, tours, packages and more.
In-house dining and catering
An Elite Holiday Home full of hungry people might be a challenge for you, but our team of experienced culinary staff has handled it all before.
You can pick from set menu options, including the Deluxe BBQ package featuring lamb kofta with minted yoghurt and chargrilled king prawns; the two-course dinner with options including seared beef rump or slow-cooked pork shoulder with cinnamon and orange, braised fennel and sweet potato; or you could try the prawn and salad luncheon with a poached Atlantic salmon salad, finished with brownies, berry compote and cream. Or you can build your own menu with the standard of elegance and extravagance you wish, using Australian or international cuisines.
The service’s advantage is its freshness and flexibility: our culinary team uses the freshest food possible, while catering for anyone’s dietary requirements and preferred portion sizes. My Holiday Concierge can also offer a private dining service, cocktails and beverages and can create special cakes on request.
Transfers and car hire
With help from our suppliers, My Holiday Concierge can arrange a professional and reliable service to transfer you between your Elite Holiday Home and Gold Coast or Brisbane Airport, local theme parks, sporting events or for a personal tour. Luggage and baby booster seats are included in the price, and restraints for children up to the age of seven are also complimentary.
The hire cars offered by our suppliers are high-quality and well-maintained. You can book a small car like a Hyundai i20 or Nissan Micra or a larger Nissan Pulsar or Toyota Aurion or Camry in the classic range. People movers and minivans are also available for larger groups.
Hire
The Gold Coast offers plenty of locations for water sports and My Holiday Concierge gives you the opportunity to hire boogie boards, surf boards and kayaks for as long as you want at competitive rates. You can also book yourself surfing lessons that will have you standing up and hanging ten in no time!
Alternatively, you can hire bikes to explore the many parks and recreational tracks in the city, eskies, beach towels, shade tents and even Christmas trees through My Holiday Concierge. Our range of baby items include capsules, car seats, prams, boosters, strollers, high chairs and cots – meaning holidaying with your little one has never been easier!
My Holiday Concierge
Let My Holiday Concierge organise theme park outings, bookings for attractions and play options for the kids to give you more time relaxing. Through My Holiday Concierge, you can book outings to the city’s famous theme parks or Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, thrill seeking activities like skydiving, high ropes, jet skiing and parasailing, go carting, jet boat rides, jet pack adventures and the iconic SkyPoint climb. There are special deals available and My Holiday Concierge has the local knowledge to ensure you get the best value.
There are plenty of options exclusively for the kids, including child-friendly restaurants, special tours, games hire packages, 7D movies, Infinity, Planet Ice Chill Skating Rink and Timezone. You can also book a range of beauty treatments and massages through us.
When you arrive at your Elite Holiday Home, you can have supplies ready, your pantry stocked with groceries or your drinks chilled and waiting. It’s your choice!
Housekeeping and nanny service
If your stay has become a bit messy, you can book a mid-stay clean for your Elite Holiday Home through My Holiday Concierge. You can also get additional linen and a range of guest amenities and products, including basics like shampoo and conditioner.
My Holiday Concierge has access to a number of fully-qualified nannies and childcare workers who can babysit the kids from three hours to longer periods, if you are after a date night or even a walk in the park without the little ones.
Tours and attractions
Through My Holiday Concierge, you can request a tour to virtually any attraction you want to visit on the Gold Coast. My Holiday Concierge can arrange tours to the Gold Coast Hinterland, Mt Tamborine, glow worm caverns, local breweries and wineries, and golf courses, or take you to a variety of shows, including those at the Star Casino, Dracula’s and the Outback Spectacular. If you’d prefer to head out onto the water, My Holiday Concierge can arrange a cruise in or around the Coast, deep sea fishing, a dolphin and snorkelling cruise of Tangalooma – and much more.
Packages
My Holiday Concierge, in conjunction with Elite Holiday Homes, can tailor a corporate team building package to meet your needs. These can include workshops designed to deliver a certain outcome, or they could be activities that everyone will enjoy, like a helicopter ride, golf, surfing or hot air ballooning. It’s as easy as emailing info@myholidayconcierge.com.au to discuss your requirements!
Celebrations
Often holidays coincide with birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, engagement celebrations or other milestones. It can be difficult to organise these while trying to enjoy yourself! My Holiday Concierge can take care of the finer details, like cakes, celebration baskets, flowers and wine – or just email a list and they’ll handle it all for you!
