Holiday rentals prove cheaper for long stays

Holiday rentals prove cheaper for long stays
By admin


TripAdvisor has released a study that shows families and groups travelling for a week or more can save a substantial amount if they opt for a holiday rental.

The study compared the average cost of accommodation for a week’s stay in a two-bedroom holiday rental, before judging it alongside the cost of a week’s stay in two bedrooms in a three star hotel in a range of domestic and international destinations.

The results showed that travellers whose needs include multiple bedrooms over an extended stay can pocket savings of up to 58% when choosing the holiday rental, with the biggest savings coming out of the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Goa India and Orlando USA.

“Holiday rentals are a great option, especially for families or larger groups going away for a week or more who don’t mind forgoing certain hotel conveniences, such as housekeeping, room service and a concierge,” TripAdvisor spokesperson Jean Ow-Yeong.

“Summer is a notoriously expensive time to travel, but, as our study shows, choosing a holiday rental can make things much more affordable.”
