San Lameer Villa Rentals is hard at work! We are getting all
the villas spring cleaned, ready for the summer season. We
are getting all the payments in for the December/January
bookings, preparing the villas for the onslaught of guests
who frequently visit our Villas. Many guests tell us that they
have been coming to San Lameer through Villa Rentals for
the past ten years. That is no mean feat and it is really good
to hear that some of the guests are becoming part of our
family and that we can welcome them back once more.
Some guests who have stayed at Villa Rentals before decide
to afterwards buy their own villa and then add into our
Rental Pool to generate income.
We are planning to expand in the near future due to Villa
Rentals that has grown substantially in the last two years.
An extra set of hands will be beneficial in improving the
service and quality in moving forward.
We recently implemented a website reservation system that
is up and running for the last month. This will guarantee
more bookings. Bookings can now be done 24/7, 365 days
a year. Our reservation system, Innkeeper that was installed
late last year, has been very valuable with all the improved
features.
Villa Rentals are continuously offering new specials in line
with Homeowner approvals. These specials get sent out
weekly to our database of our previous clients that stayed
or enquired at San Lameer and all our Social Media
networks. Online is our main connection line in advertising
our specials. Villa Rentals look forward in welcoming the SA
Kids Golf - Junior Africa Challenge players and families that
have booked for the period of 29 August 2016 - 2
September 2016. We are accommodating the players and
visitors at a special rate: Book for 7 days and only pay for 5
days.

The letting market seems to have improved slightly and Villa
Rentals has done a bit better this year. Let's hold thumbs that
the economy improves every year.
San Lameer Villa Rentals is hard aan die werk! Ons is besig om al
die villas skoon te maak, gereed vir die somer seisoen. Ons is
ook besig om al die betalings vir die Desember / Januarie
besprekings in te vorder, ter voorbereiding van die aanslae van
gaste wat ons Villas gereeld kom besoek. Baie gaste vertel ons
dat hulle vir die afgelope tien jaar al na San Lameer deur Villa
Rentals hul vakansieplek huur. Dit is geen geringe prestasie en
dit is regtig goed om te weet dat sommige van ons gaste al so
lank 'n deel van die San Lameer familie is. Dit is altyd wonderlik
om hul weer terug te verwelkom. Sommige gaste wat al by Villa
Rentals gebly het, het besluit om daarna 'n Villa te koop en dan
by te voeg in ons huurpoel om inkomste te genereer.
Ons is van plan om uit te brei in die nabye toekoms. Villa
Rentals het aansienlik in die afgelope twee jaar gegroei. 'n
Ekstra stel hande sal voordelig wees, en tot die verbetering van
diens en kwaliteit lei.
Ons het onlangs 'n webwerf besprekingstelsel in werking
gestel, wat al die afgelope maand aan die gang is. Dit sal meer
besprekings verseker. Besprekings kan nou 24/7, 365 dae 'n jaar
gedoen word. Ons besprekingstelsel “InnKeeper” wat laat
verlede jaar geïnstalleer is, toon om vir ons baie waardevol te
wees met al die verbeterde funksies wat die stelsel bied.
Villa Rentals bied voortdurend nuwe spesiale aanbiedinge aan
in lyn met huiseienaars se goedkeurings. Hierdie spesiale
aanbiedinge word weekliks aan ons databasis van vorige kliënte
wat al by Villa Rentals gebly of navraag gedoen het, uitgestuur.
Die advertensies word ook op ons sosiale media geplaas. Aanlyn
is ons grootste fokus wanneer dit by ons advertensies en
spesiale aanbiedinge kom. Villa Rentals sien uit om die “SA Kids
Golf - Junior Africa Challenge” se spelers en gesinne vir die
tydperk van 29 Augustus 2016 - 2 September 2016 te
verwerlkom. Ons huisves van die spelers en besoekers op 'n
spesiale tarief: Bespreek vir 7 dae en betaal net vir 5 dae.
Die verhuringsmark lyk effens beter en Villa Rentals het 'n
bietjie beter vanjaar gedoen. Kom ons hou duim vas dat die
ekonomie elke jaar sal verbeter.
