What is a serviced accommodation?A serviced accommodation is a type of accommodation that can be booked on a night-by-night basis and is fully furnished as a home away from home with free Wi-Fi, Smart TV, fully equipped kitchen, laundry facilities and at least a fortnightly cleaning and linen change service. Rates generally reduce as the length of stay increases.

What are the differences between hotels and serviced accommodation?With serviced apartments or houses you can expect a much more generous living area, including your own kitchen – elements you don’t traditionally find in hotel rooms. Our properties are designed to be your home away from home. You have everything you need without venturing outside your property. This way guests have more time to relax, safe in the knowledge that every last detail has been taken care of. We also accommodate for longer stays, with properties featuring washing machines and more generous wardrobe space. Once the number of people staying at a hotel creeps up to three or four, you would typically need separate hotel rooms. Serviced apartments and houses are better equipped at sleeping more people all in one place, this can make it much easier to enjoy your time together, especially with a group. Majority of our properties also have zip link beds which can be configured as two single beds or a king size bed to give that extra flexibility. Of course, value for money is key. Some people are under the impression that serviced properties cost more compared to hotels, but this isn’t usually the case. The vast array of extra amenities and the number of guests our properties can accommodate means you’re getting fantastic value for money.
