Where To Go Now?!?
Hi everyone,
We have now sold the house and are hoping to make the big move in mid Sept/early Oct and have been scouring this site and the web for sites which advertise short/short term ie. one month, (not 3, 6 or 12 month) accommodation whilst we find our feet, find a suberb which we would want to let privately for 6 months and find school before buying after the 6 month period.
We found brilliant houses with Brisband Bound but all fully leased - does anyone know of any other such people who have set up businesses letting houses such as these fully furnished properties for such short periods?
We would like to rent for one month in anywhere which has good access to the sunshine coast and city. Three month leases are no good at this early stage as we need to check out schools etc., before committing to anything any longer term because of our 10 year old.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Do a search for postings from MrsDagboy. I spotted on the signature a link for Destination Brisbane which provides such accommodation. Might help.

Re: Where To Go Now?!?
Yes Mrs Dagboy does a short term house....looked nice in photos - ideal if you have a family.
No A/C if I remember right which is essential for me - but not for everyone I realise - I got so hot and bothered the last time I was in Brisbane during the summer - would end up divorcing hubbie without it!
We have booked a 2 bedroom apartment called The Manhattan on Newstead apartments through www.seqrents.com.au
Fully furnished modern executive style apartment with swimming pool and that all important (to me
) A/C!!!!! Suits us fine as we have no kids....gives us time to find a nice rental house (un-furnished) to rent.

Hi Lynn,
How long have you rentd your apartment for? We have tried apartments and been told only will consider 3mths plus. When are you arriving?
Thanks
Francine

Maybe he was fully booked short term rental wise?
Good luck finding somewhere else - there seem to be plenty of apartments around on www.seqrents.com.au

Difference between Brisbane Bound & us is that they have townhouses whereas we have detached houses with proper gardens. They also charge extra for internet, phone etc.

We had probs with accomm on www.seqrents.com.au as most wanted 3months plus. We just wanted initial period of one month but have come across a brilliant site called www.stayz.com.au which has loads of houses for short short term ie 1week upwards so booked something in Strathpine for a month.
