Why Booking Your Summer Holiday Early Saves You Stress & Money

It might feel easier to wait until closer to summer to book your holiday, but leaving it too late often ends up costing more.

• Higher prices during peak times
  Accommodation rates jump as school holidays get closer. Families who book late usually pay much more than those who have locked in early deals.

• Fewer options left
  Bigger apartments and group-friendly stays are the first to go. Booking late often means settling for smaller rooms or less convenient locations.

• Extra stress
  Last-minute planning means trying to match whatever’s left with your travel, tickets, and activities. Instead of starting your holiday relaxed, you begin it stressed.

By booking ahead, you avoid the price hikes, get the pick of the best rooms, and enjoy peace of mind knowing your holiday is sorted.

One of the best reasons to book your summer holiday accommodation early is the savings.

• Guaranteed discounts with member bookings
  At Veriu Hotels, members enjoy 15% off every stay when they book directly. By locking this in early, you’re guaranteeing savings on peak dates.

• Access to seasonal discounts
  Many properties release limited-time promotions or early-bird offers. Booking in advance ensures you don’t miss out on the best rates of the year.

• More budget for experiences
  The money saved on accommodation can go towards activities, dining, or exploring new destinations – making your holiday richer in experiences without stretching your wallet.

Booking early is more than a financial decision – it’s about getting greater value from every part of your trip.

When travelling as a family or with a group, finding the right accommodation makes all the difference.

• Larger apartments and group layouts available
  Spacious serviced apartments often book out quickly, especially those with multiple bedrooms, living areas, and kitchens.

• Pet-friendly stays for the whole family
  Many families want their pets to be part of the holiday. Booking early increases the chance of securing one of the limited pet-friendly apartments.

• Avoiding the “squeeze” with relatives
  While staying with relatives can seem convenient, it often leads to overcrowding and less privacy. Booking your own apartment gives everyone room to relax while still staying close to loved ones.

Planning early means you can choose accommodation that truly suits your group, rather than settling for whatever’s left.

School holidays are peak travel times, which makes securing accommodation even more competitive.

• Lock in key dates early
  Families who book in advance are more likely to secure preferred dates during the busiest periods.

• Time to plan calmly
  With accommodation sorted, you can focus on booking travel, activities, and tickets without the last-minute rush.

• A smoother start to your holiday
  Instead of beginning your break with frantic phone calls or endless scrolling for rooms, you’ll start relaxed and ready to enjoy time together.

When school holidays roll around, being prepared means your family gets more time for fun and less time worrying about logistics.

Not all accommodation is created equal, especially when it comes to family and group holidays. Serviced apartments offer flexibility and comfort that hotels can’t always match.

• Space to spread out
  With kitchens, laundry facilities, and living areas, apartments provide more room for everyone compared to standard hotel rooms.

• Comfort for every guest
  Families, groups, and pets all benefit from the convenience of apartment-style living, making longer stays more enjoyable.

• Central locations
  Veriu Hotels are situated in prime spots across Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide keeping you close to shopping, dining, and attractions.

Choosing serviced apartments ensures your holiday feels less like a squeeze and more like a home away from home.
