Booking rental property before arriving
Is anyone booking a short term rental before arriving? We are taking 2 cats & I'm keen to book one before we go as they will only be in quarantine for 30 days & I will need to have somewhere for them to come to after that. The only problem is the price, the cheapest I've found is $600 per week. What is everyone else doing? Not sure whether I should just wait until I get there. I know it will be more difficult to find somewhere with that cats though.

Hi,
We booked ours before we went and paid $650 a week. The price you have said and what we have paid is quite cheap, houses go up to $1000 a week furnished. I am not sure about holiday rentals allowing pets, someone might be able to help.
Where are you heading for?

Hi there, you will pay an average of $600 per week in a furnished holiday rental. i have noticed that If you go onto realestate.co.au they have a bit on renting property (in particular holiday rentals) have a wee look there you might get summit a little cheaper if you come out of season, its worth a try!!!

Hey there
We are arriving in July and have booked a holiday let for a month....$600 seems to be about the norm.
One question I have is about insurance.....although we have shipped a lot we are arriving with lots of our belongings (inc electrical items etc) has anyone got any ideas about insurance for these items when we are staying in our holiday let for the month?
The only travel insurance i could find to cover emigrating was with Go Walkabout but it only covers us for 21 days.....what happens if our apartment gets robbed or something after that????
Have just got visions of everything being taken, being left with nothing & have nothing to claim from.....
Any ideas???
Cheers

Hi
We are currently in Brisbane and we managed to organise our rental property before leaving Scotland and the house turned out to be fantastic. As long as you can provide copies of your passports and birth certificates and an oz bank account you should be okay.
Hope this helps
