6pm, our last changeover is done, and my little workmate Rex and I are finally heading home! ❤️
Rex is 9 months old today and has been coming to work with us since he was just 6 weeks old. I’m so lucky he’s such a happy, easygoing baby, although I guess he doesn’t have much choice in this industry! 😂
The past two months have been our busiest EVER! Between events, weddings, school holidays and visitors flocking to our beautiful region, Sunraysia has been buzzing! 🙌
After dropping my other three kids at school this morning, Rex and I joined our team for another huge day.
16 changeovers today and 25 check-ins this weekend! With the Goanna Run in Mildura and several weddings, it’s all hands on deck!
What people don’t always see is the work that goes on behind the scenes. My husband Nick, our amazing team and I work tirelessly to have every home guest-ready and presented to a five-star standard. We’re not always perfect, but we give it everything we’ve got, and we’re proud to have held Airbnb Superhost status for almost five years straight! ⭐️
On our busiest days, we can turn over 20+ homes, and when things slow down, there’s deep cleaning, gardens and maintenance to catch up on. Until May, we were even washing all our own linen before teaming up with the wonderful Thompson Linen!
It’s early mornings, late nights, weekends, our kids growing up alongside the business, and a phone that never really stops ringing. This industry is 24/7, even when we get home.
I’m not complaining. I genuinely love what we’ve built and couldn’t be prouder of our team. ❤️
But next time you walk into your holiday accommodation, take a moment to appreciate the work that’s gone into making it beautiful for your arrival. Behind every freshly made bed and sparkling clean home are people working incredibly hard to make your stay special.
A huge thank you to our team, our guests and everyone supporting our little business.
Now to get this little apprentice home! 🥰
Enjoy your weekend! ❤️
