Holiday Apartment Parking Solutions
Who doesn’t love a fantastic holiday? Escaping stress and enjoying a relaxing break.
Maybe it’s hopping in the car and heading away on the open road. Car loaded with kids and all the fun family gear you need, headed for holiday apartment by the beach.
Or maybe it’s heading to a holiday resort in a fun city like Queensland’s renowned Gold Coast to a holiday resort – both close to the beach and all the theme parks! For many holidaymakers, driving is the best way to travel. Families pack surfboards, boogie boards, snorkels, beach gear, and even the family dog.
While we can all imagine the perfect family road trip, cruising down an open road, the car buzzing with laughter and excitement, the reality is for those of you who have done this, the reality is often quite different. With young kids or teens in the back of the car, I know that my road trips often turned into a version of the Griswalds on National Lampoon’s Vacation … and the resounding “are we there yet”, “how much longer” and “my brother’s annoying me!” So by the time you arrive at your holiday destination, you just want to pull the car into your designated parking spot, set those kids free, and unload the car (or maybe even drive off on your own! Joking …. I think!?)
To make your holiday as enjoyable and stress-free as possible, you need to have your holiday rental parking available from the moment you arrive. A secure, easily accessible parking space at your holiday apartment or parking at your holiday resort. But at peak times like school holidays, parking can turn into a stressful nightmare. Having a designated parking spot at your holiday rental can really enhance the whole experience and turn that Griswalds experience into something much more carefree. Especially when it’s somewhere like a busy holiday apartment building on the Gold Coast.
Building managers, facilities managers and caretakers need to manage all the parking. And for them, especially on check-in day, juggling parking spaces can feel like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle. It takes time and effort to keep track of who’s parked where and to make sure everyone has their spot, or even just to make sure someone has parking.
Holidays should be about enjoyment, not stress. So make holidays a breeze for your guests by taking care of those parking needs!
How thatsMYspot solves the holiday rental parking problem
For the last several years, the facilities managers at the Circle on Cavill on the Gold Coast have relied on our parking bollards to solve the holiday maker parking problem for them. The building has pre-approved our parking bollards for all owners, and purchases bollards for their residents in bulk. Installation is arranged for the owners. It’s a smooth and seamless process, making it as easy as possible for both owners and the building manager.
The committee at Circle on Cavill has opted for our remote control parking bollards. This makes it easy for temporary visitors to come and go, just by using a remote control. This way the building manager, or owner can give a remote control to the holiday makers, to make sure their parking bay is reserved for them. And making it easy for them to lower the parking bollard when they need to park. They use the remote control to raise it up when they leave so the parking bay is secured for them for when they come back. Generally this building has opted for our ever-popular TMS-APL2. They also allow the use of our smartphone parking bollards. By pre-approving our bollards, the building retains uniformity in the appearance of the parking area.
Simple and secure! Solving a pain point for holiday rental parking on the Gold Coast with ease.
At the outset, we consulted with the building to find out their typical needs, and advised on the best products to suit. We also organise installation of the parking bollards in batches so they are done at the same time to make it efficient. And our solutions are in demand from other holiday destination buildings on the Gold Coast – such as the Mantra Sun City and resorts such as Accor Chatswood in Sydney.
We love happy holiday-makers!
The building manager and the owners are absolutely delighted with the results. We have solved their holiday apartment chaos in these landmark holiday rental apartments on the Gold Coast. Making their lives so much easier and stress-free, and holiday rental parking in their building is no longer the problem it used to be.
This means more time for the building manager to perform the rest of her busy job, especially over the holiday period.
Elated we can help make holidays more relaxing and fun by solving the parking problem in holiday rental buildings.
Do you have a holiday rental in an apartment building that has the same ongoing battles around parking in peak holiday times, especially in places like the Gold Coast?
Case Study: Holiday Rentals – Circle on Cavill, Gold Coast
Circle on Cavill is one of the Gold Coast’s iconic and most well-know high-rise holiday apartment buildings. Owned by Mantra Hotels, it comprises two residential towers across a massive 1.4 hectares. There are a total of 644 apartments across two towers serviced by only between the South Tower (48 levels, 279 units) 412 parking spaces. During holiday season when most apartments are rented out to holiday makers, juggling visitor parking becomes a Herculean task for the building and facilities managers.
Prior to our involvement, the building manager would waste time putting up signs or to put signs up or chase unauthorised parkers to handle this. It was particularly time-consuming stressful to manage, especially when holidaymakers are only temporarily there.
That’s when Cavill’s facilities management team asked us to step in with a parking solution that:
- protects individual apartment bays from unauthorised drivers
- ensures that dedicated bays are available for holiday tenants when they arrive
- enhances holiday maker satisfaction so they could load and unload cars easily and ferry families seamlessly
- was super simple for tenants to use
- removed the stress and time from complaining guests and the pressure this put on building and facilities managers.
The key outcomes of our parking solution for owners, visitors and facilities managers are:
- Increased Guest Satisfaction: ease and certainty of parking for holiday rentals
- Operational Efficiency: Guests can easily “self-serive” access their own parking, and reducess time and cost that building and facilities managers spend on parking.
- Positive Reviews: improvement in online reviews, with many guests specifically mentioning the improved parking experience.
