Perth's temporary accommodation market has many choices to secure online but searching the market can be hard work especially as options are often geared towards the leisure market as opposed to corporate relocations. You may be looking to source accommodation in Perth but have not visited before and the suburb names don’t mean anything to you.
AirBnB has become a household name and you may have even used online platforms similar to this to book a holiday stay. There are of course benefits of securing holiday accommodation in Perth for a few weeks: These properties may be cheaper than the equivalent standard of accommodation in the established corporate temporary accommodation market. And with their focus on the leisure market, the locations may be more attractive, being located beachside or near the river.
Do think about the property making you feel comfortable and secure during your stay in Perth. There are some risks relating to securing properties through online platforms that simply connect travellers with property ownerssuch as if repairs or maintenancecrop up. Sorting out problems can be time consuming and slow in resolution. In many cases, the occupant has no leverage as it is a private arrangement with a private owner. There is also often a lack of flexibility to make changes to dates and have funds returned for unused nights.
Perth's corporate temporary accommodation market offers a choice of either hotels, hotel-styled serviced apartments, or more residential furnished apartments. While hotels are suited for a single traveller for a few nights, small rooms and lack of cooking opportunities mean hotel stays can quickly become more expensive with eating out and using the hotel’s laundry service. Both Perth's serviced and furnished options provide fully furnished accommodation, equipped with kitchen and laundry facilities as well as the basics such as cooking utensils, kitchenware, linen and towels.
Perth's serviced apartments offer a hotel-style environment with a concierge, on-site reception and manager and are serviced during your stay. The furnishings tend to be standardised throughout the building and many offer recreational facilities such as a pool, gym, sauna etc. Internet access is generally available and easy to access and set up but can be quite expensive, as are telephone costs. Typically serviced accommodation tends to be the more expensive option.
Perth's furnished accommodation options are more residential properties, either apartments or houses, which are managed through temporary accommodation providers. These options offer a more personal, homely feel than serviced apartment options. While some larger complexes in Perth may have a concierge, most do not have on-site managers; instead you would have an off-site property manager assigned to you, meaning access to the apartment on arrival needs to be confirmed for individual bookings. The standard of furnishings will also vary from one property to the next and recreational facilities will vary greatly on the building and area. These days, telephones are usually not offered, however most offer internet access along with instructions on how to set it up. While furnished properties are more cost-effective options, their cancellations policies are not as flexible; most require a few weeks’ notice while others do not refund unused nights unless they are able to re-book the property.
When choosing a property it is crucial to focus on the important details: how many bedrooms or bathrooms do you require; what bedding arrangement is provided; is parking available; how do you gain access if you are arriving early morning or late evening. In short, you need to be sure you will be able to feel at home in your temporary accommodation.
