Event & Cup week changeovers

For Melbourne short-stay hosts and managers. When a checkout and the next check-in sit close together, the desk still does the turn. You keep the guest thread.

Busy weeks

Hosts ask for same-day and back-to-back turns around the Melbourne Cup carnival (Spring Carnival), AFL finals, the Australian Open, the Grand Prix (F1 Albert Park), and major concerts. A back-to-back turn is a checkout and the next guest on the same lot. The photo pack still lands on your thread before that guest.

The published event windows — Cup carnival, the Australian Open, and F1 Albert Park — are on the live card and under event weeks. AFL finals and concerts are not given dates or a separate rate on this site. If a checkout or check-in is not in a published window, the card is the card. Send the lot pack.

Suburbs we cover

On the card inside the eight named suburbs. Quoted outside it.

Every suburb we cover.

Cleaners: join our file. Going on file is not a job offer.

How a turn runs

  1. Send the lot pack: suburb, beds, checkout and next check-in. A form is a lead, not a booking.
  2. A contractor on FILE accepts in writing. The desk holds no keys and does not take the guest thread.
  3. The photo pack — entry, beds, bathroom, kitchen, living, and any visible damage — lands on the thread before the next guest. Steps are on how a changeover is booked.
  4. A window moved after 8pm the night before is same-day. It needs a written yes from the contractor. The rule and the extras are on same-day. Prices for the card and for same-day stay on pricing.

A form is a lead, not a booking. Prices stay on the live card and the same-day page.
