Summer is just around the corner……

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

WIth Summer school holidays less than 8 weeks away, now is the time to make sure that you have organised your holiday accommodation for the Christmas period and January as well. There are still some really good houses available for rent for the Christmas time and with the strengthening Aussie Dollar and the drop in overseas clients, most of the houses have dropped their prices which makes for some really good savings to be had on Christmas and January.

Over the next few weeks there will be a surge in rentals with the completion of the HSC and other school exams and also the end of University for the year so people will be focusing on the upcoming summer holidays. So if you are thinking of taking advantage of cheaper rental rates this year, now is the time to snap up a great beach house for the upcoming summer holidays.

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

1. Beach without Sand surf Shop. Wato and the crew are always on hand to help out with anything that you need for a great day out.

2. The Boat House at Palm Beach. Now this is a great casual place to soak up the sun’s rays and enjoy a great meal.

3. The Healthy Chef Avalon. What a great Breakfast they put on…..and it is really healthy as well!

4. Swell Cafe Avalon. I can’t keep my wife out of here! I feel like I have shares in the business. They make the best coffee around.

October Long Weekend and School Holidays

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

With Spring in the air and summer fast approaching, now is the perfect time to get away and enjoy the spoils of the Northern Beaches. The October Long weekend is traditionally one of the best times to some to visit the area. In the middle of school holidays, it is a great time to take advantage of the 3 day weekend and come away for a quick getaway before the madness of the end of year activities. The weather is warming up, the days getting longer and the area is starting to wake from its winter sleep. Come and play this October on the Northern Beaches.

Winter School Holidays

Friday, July 9th, 2010

We are now half way through the winter school holidays and there are some great houses still available for rent for the 2nd half of the holidays.

Thinking about a last minute getaway? Wanting a house with a nice outdoor spa or heated swimming pool or you want to rug up in front of the fire place, then it is not too late to grab a house for next week.

Classic Careel and Pittwater Paradise have great open wood fireplaces and Tangala has a magical heated spa and pool off the cabana. Or maybe you just want to sit back in the HUGE home theatre and enjoy a movie or watch the world cup final on a 4m screen.

There are plenty of things to do in the area at this time of year as well so if you are wanting a break, there is still time these school holidays.

Friday, May 14th, 2010

Looking for something different this upcoming June long weekend. Tired of driving 6 hours to the snow and getting there and there not being any snow? Well this year try something different. You can still rug up in front of a roaring log fire but this time you can be within 1 hours drive of Sydney.

Rent a house over the long weekend and take advantage of the winter specials on offer. Rent a house for 2 nights and stay for 3 nights! Below are some great properties to look at for this time.

5 of the best things to do in Palm Beach and the Northern Beaches this Winter

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

Winter is fast approaching and what a great time to get away for a romantic weekend away. With great specials on the houses over winter, there is no better time to experience the northern beaches of Sydney. Here are 5 of the best things to do in the area this winter

1 – Take a morning walk along Palm Beach. Rug up with your favourite coat and and experience the beach with no one on it! Relax with a hot coffee in hand and watch the surfers in the surf or stroll to the far end of the beach and see Palm Beach from a different angle

2 – Snuggle up in front of a roaring log fire in one of the holiday houses on a wintery weekend night with your favourite book or movie on the TV. Rockridge, Sunrise over Whale or Kookaburra are just a few houses to name that have log fire places and take weekend rentals.

3 – Breakfast at The Healthy Chef on a Sunday morning in Avalon. You will get one of the best breakfasts in the area knowing that it is all good for you as well.

4 – Have a meal at the Boat House in Palm Beach. Watch the Sea Plane come in and take off as it flies around the Northern Beaches. Take a stroll along the beach after lunch or just watch the sun set over West Head.

5 – Visit Barrenjoey Light House and look at one of the best views in Sydney. It is open on the first Sunday of every month and entry is by donation. Remember to take a water bottle with you and a camera to remember the occasion.

Easter Getaway….

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

Easter time is a fantastic opportunity to get away from Sydney and enjoy the benefits of the Northern Beaches. With this weekend fast approaching there are still great opportunities to get some last minute rentals for this weekend and also the upcoming School Holidays.

With Daylight Savings finishing on Saturday night there are still a few chances for the late afternoon surfs but then as from Sunday morning the “Early” is back on again for the next few months. So enjoy the school holidays and the last few weeks of a fabulous Summer on the Beaches and lets get ready for the next summer.

The above Photo was taken with a group of surfers enjoying the beautiful afternoon surf at Avalon Beach.
