What is grandvacationrentals.com?

Grand Vacation Rentals is an effective online advertising scheme coupled with an exclusive holiday home management system for privately owned or smaller property company managed holiday homes, cottages, baches, bed and breakfasts, and accommodation in New Zealand. We provide holiday home owners and smaller property managers an international marketplace where they can effectively advertise and manage their holiday homes on the web.

The Need for our Service

Grand Vacation Rentals came about as a result of a significant need in the New Zealand holiday home and accommodation industry. Many holiday home owners do not care to use large property management companies, as they often charge high fees. As such, a market of owner-managed holiday homes has been steadily increasing over the years. One of the most challenging aspects of self-managing a holiday home or being a smaller property manager is the marketing and management piece. If you have no renters, you have nothing to manage and a holiday home that loses money. Many of your renters probably come from outside New Zealand and use the internet as a way to find you. Grand Vacation Rentals gives you the opportunity to economically and profitably market and manage your holiday home.
