STREETS AHEAD OF THE MARKET
Stunning year on year and market pace growth after 18 months of enagement and still performing well even through Covid-19!
…the occupancy is through the roof, we are almost 90% at times throughout this past 6 months. There is no way we could have achieved that whilst trying to run a busy hotel and manage the accommodation side.”
Adam Harrison, Director – Mackay Seabreeze Apartments
We met Adam at NoVacancy Expo 2018 and while succesful in running the ‘entertainment’ side of the business, he was really struggling with how to make a profit from the 36 apartment units attached to the property.
The local Mackay market was operating at a growth rate of 5%pa when we first got invloved and we set a target for Seabreeze to achieve 30% year on year growth in the first 12 months. This meant the Market Opportunity for Adam was approx. $92,000 in additional revenue.
We began with a Gap Analysis to understand what needed to be addressed, before working together on digital optimisation and general rebranding to improve online visibility and bookability. We got heavily focussed on their rate structure and were involved in their dialy pricing and revenue management.
After 18 months we were able to add incremental revenue of over $358,000 and had them completely out-pacing the local market even through the coronavirus pandemic downturn!
The occupancy is through the roof, we are almost 90% at times throughout this past 6 months. There is no way we could have achieved that whilst trying to run a busy hotel and manage the accommodation side.

They have really understood our requirements, the relationship has been excellent…the market is very tough, but in that market we have grown in rate and occupancy, I don’t believe we could have done that on our own.
