We’re a family of travellers

We’re passionate about widening the door of opportunity for all those with itchy feet (like us).

The idea for Short Stays was born in a caravan during covid (2020 – for those reading from the future), as we reflected on the gap in the affordable short-term rental market. From there, our ideas have only grown, as we hope this community will too!

We’re determined to shift the culture of the travel industry from one of excessive fees and fine print, to one of shared collaboration and eager anticipation. We want your plans to excite you, not exhaust you!

And the junior interns? Well they remind us to take frequent snack breaks, to never skip a bedtime story, and are our biggest motivation in creating a life of freedom and adventure.

Your fellow wanderers,
Sim and Pete.

MOTOR NEURON DISEASE

We’re passionate about supporting research for Motor Neuron Disease (MND), having a painful connection to the disease and an aching for new hope.

MND has woven its way into our (Pete’s) extended family, and unfortunately made itself at home. With no foresight into what the future might hold and how our time together will be shortened, we’ve put our faith in Steve Vucic and his team, to find a cure for this heartbreaking disease.

Short Stays is committed to donating a portion of profits to help further the research. We’ll be contributing 50% of our service fees for the first year, and as much as we can offer after that. This will be going directly toward research and trials to find a cure.

This isn’t just charity for us.
This is hope.
And possibility.
And tears turned to action.
