Case Study: Sunshine Coast Holiday Unit achieves more direct bookings with Lodgify

Sunshine Coast Holiday Unit Brisbane Family Finds 'Sweet Spot of Vacation Rentals' During COVID

Sunshine Coast Holiday Unit, a coastal apartment in North Shore Village, Australia, was started by Shellie and Vikram Goyal during the COVID-19 pandemic as a “home away from home” for their family. What began as a personal escape quickly turned into a rental opportunity, but they struggled to manage bookings, inventory, promotions, and direct booking demand without a proper system. They chose Lodgify for its easy-to-use interface and booking management features.

With Lodgify, Sunshine Coast Holiday Unit built a website, integrated booking channels like Booking.com, and centralized payments and inventory management in one place. The result was immediate: after having no bookings beyond friends and family before Lodgify, they received 5 bookings in 2 weeks. Lodgify helped them turn their property into a direct-booking vacation rental business while also maintaining a home they could still enjoy themselves.
