Since its launch on 11th February, The Elysian has made a remarkable impact with 40 nights booked. Demand is strong, with guests securing stays well in advance, particularly for mid-April, June–September, and December, coinciding with Easter, Queensland school holidays, Palm Cove’s peak dry season, and the Christmas period. What’s driving The Elysian’s success? ?? Beachside luxury with resort-style amenities: Guests love the private pool, lush outdoor spaces, and expansive balconies. ?? Curated comfort & coastal elegance: Thoughtfully designed living areas, premium furnishings, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow create a home that caters to both relaxation and entertainment. ?? A high-demand market: Guests love luxury beachside escapes, especially in tropical markets, such as Palm Cove. The Elysian is at the forefront of luxury beachside escapes providing a level of design and comfort for guests. With strong early bookings and an impressive average daily rate, The Elysian continues to capitalise on seasonal demand, and drives impressive returns. #Hometime

Meet Ryan Marshall! ?? Ryan is our Customer Experience Specialist at Hometime! Learn more about Ryan below. ?? ?? Why do you enjoy what you do for work? The entire Hometime crew makes it a great place to be! Having the support of other tribes allows me to confidently assist our Homeowners and hosts no matter how big or small the topic is. I enjoy that we are all working together to provide the best customer experience. ??What’s your favourite Hometime home? I might be biased as it’s just down the road from our Burleigh office, but you can’t beat the views and location of the Sable Penthouse at Palm Beach! ?? Favourite project you’ve ever worked on? Right now, we’re working on a project that helps us proactively identify homeowners who might need extra support before they even reach out. I love that this initiative shows we don’t just ‘set and forget’—we’re always looking for ways to support our homeowners and address concerns before they become issues. ?? What’s a hidden skill you have? Not to brag, but I’ve been called an animal whisperer. Dogs, cats and anything else furry seem to love me! ?? Favourite Aussie holiday destination, and why? Palm Cove in FNQ, just outside of Cairns. It’s a little hidden paradise you would easily miss if you didn’t know it was there. Beautiful warm beach and great restaurants. ?? What’s your favourite way to unwind? I’m lucky to call beautiful Burleigh on the Gold Coast home. When I need to unwind, I can step out my front door and be on the beach in a few minutes. A quick dip in the ocean is all I need sometimes! #TeamHometime #DreamTeam
