Rental Market Update
We have seen another rise in demand for rental properties for locals and people looking to move into the region as well as owners moving back into their rental properties due to the soaring costs of maintaining an investment property. Affordability has become difficult for some local residents with rental prices fluctuating, driven by various factors. Affordable housing is at crisis level, while larger executive housing, on the higher end of the market, sometimes taking a little longer to lease due to the cost of living.

Vandre is brilliant!
Vandre has been my managing agent for well over 6 months. She had to take over management of a very difficult tenant.

I have no hesitation in recommending Vandre as a most professional property manager who is committed and extremely reliable. Vandre is also able to provide my personal phone number should a verbal reference be required.

A word from our clients...
“Great Location”
A very large a comfortable place, and a great location with awesome views. A bit on the expensive side, but worth it in the end.
- Cool View
"Surf Beach House"
Great house, great location. Amazing host and agent to deal with. Overall, well worth the money and had a great weekend.
-Surf Beach House
"Comfortable and Clean"
My recent stay at the "shack" on absolute beachfront in Gerroa was an overall pleasant experience The location, without a doubt, is the highlight of this cottage It's perched right on the beachfront, offering stunning ocean views that are truly unbeatable The cottage, as described in the advertisement, is well appointed and provides the basics you need for a comfortable stay. While it may not be a luxury retreat, it is cozy and has a rustic charm that suits the coastal setting
-Absolute Beachfront
"Breathtaking View"
The view speaks for itself and is even more magical than the photos. Bedrooms all comfy and air con definitely welcomed downstairs.
-Wind Dancer
"Great Place"
The place is great - nicer in person than the photos. Only feedback = it would have been nice to have some dish washing cloths and a few more tea towels. A+++ Lovely home. Great location. Much nicer than the pictures show even. Easy check in. Would stay again.
-Werri Escape
