Why Experience Jervis Bay

FULL SERVICE AGENCY

Established in 2006, we have been operating in the Jervis Bay area for many years managing holiday rental properties under the banner of a real estate agent. As the holiday rental industry has grown into an industry of its own, migrating away from traditional real estate, we made the decision to form Experience Jervis Bay, a stand-alone dedicated holiday rental business providing a full-service end to end management of holiday rental properties and holiday accommodation.

LOCAL AREA SPECIALISTS

Offering a full-service end to end holiday rental management service requires an intimate knowledge of the properties we manage, the local area, local activities and attractions, local service providers and local support staff and to ensure we have all of this covered we only focus on managing properties in the local area. On top of this, we all live in the local area and for the majority of the time, find ourselves playing in the local area. We think this qualifies us as the local area specialists.

EXPERIENCED TEAM

We are a small and specialist team who understand and know the holiday rental industry inside out and back to front. Not only do you have the opportunity to speak and work with the owners of the business, but all our team members also have strong and varied experience in and around the industry.

Belinda Newson

Belinda has lived and worked in Jervis Bay since 2003 and worked in the real estate industry since 2004. Belinda has extensive experience and has worked her way through just about every role the industry has to offer including holiday rental management, property management (permanent rentals), sales administration and office administration and management. After taking some time out to spend with her children Belinda is now an integral part of the Experience Jervis Bay team.

Hamish Smith

Hamish grew up in a family-run holiday rental business in the UK, Dorset Coastal Cottages consisting of around 250 properties, Hamish was always bound to continue on in the industry. Having worked many roles in the tourism and hospitality sector in the UK (including being an accredited quality inspector for the English Tourism Board – VisitEngland) Hamish arrived in Australia and continued on working in the industry.

Able Walsh

After starting in real estate in 2004 Able opened his own real estate business in 2006 and has been working in and around property since, working on sales, rentals and of course holiday rentals.

Having owned, operated and managed a number of tourism-based business such as holiday rentals (managing properties for owners and for himself), a Bed and Breakfast, a Cafe and more Able has a solid understanding of both the industry and Jervis Bay. An active member of Jervis Bay Tourism (the local tourism group), Visit Huskisson (the Huskisson Chamber of Commerce) and other local community groups Able is in a strong position to offer advice and assist with the marketing of individual properties and/or the portfolio as a whole.

MARKETING

Once the set-up process is complete we then need to work on both the marketing material and marketing methods in preparation to launch.

We like to work closely with our owners to ensure we have the right type and style of marketing material and we are using the right type of marketing methods to suit our owners wants and needs out of the management process, be that a more passive or aggressive approach.

We also work closely with other local businesses, allowing us to offer discounts, deals and packages for our guests which allows us to convert more bookings on our owner’s behalf.

MARKETING MATERIAL

The marketing material can include but is not limited to things such as:

• Professional photography
• Floor plans
• Site plans
• Drone/aerial photography
• Property videos
• Ad copy (this is both descriptive and informative)

MARKETING METHODS

BOOKINGS AND GUEST STAYS

Once the set-up process is complete, the marketing is in place it is then time to launch. Once we launch we will start taking bookings and having guests stay. This cycle is very much process driven and (in real terms there is a lot more involved) below will give you an overview of the process.

ASSOCIATION

We are associated and affiliated with industry groups, tourism organisations, business groups and more to ensure that we are abreast of the latest that the industry, business and the area has to offer.
