TakeABreak® is a professional web portal dedicated to making it easy for you to plan your perfect escape - from Tasmania to the Sunshine Coast, Kangaroo Island to the Kimberley.
We provide one of the most comprehensive, easy to use, easy to search and up to date resource banks for locating holiday accommodation in Australia. TakeABreak.com.au were finalists in the NSW Tourism Awards for 2005.
TakeABreak.com.au offers:
1. A unique browsing interface that offers a range of options for the visitor – theme menus; drop down selection boxes; advanced search functionality.
2. Year round availability - we don’t just list last minute or special offers, you can make a booking for any time of the year.
3. A unique click and drag calendar that makes it easy to select dates - an Australian first.
4. A wide variety of accommodation types. We don’t just list hotels, like many of our competitors do, or B&B’s – we truly list the whole range from camping grounds through to world-class resorts.
5. A national events engine where visitors can find out where to go for the latest cultural, sporting and community events.
6. Australia-wide listings – not just focussing on one regional area.
7. An experience based focus - we know that a holiday is about a lot more than accommodation. Visitors can select by type of holiday, find out what’s on using our events capability and locate activities and attractions in the local area. We also offer travel options on our site – links to car hire and Virgin Blue which help our visitors reach their destinations.
8. A multi-site calendar system so that operators can keep availability updated on one centralised system which then automatically synchronises across multiple web sites, ensuring accurate availability is displayed.
9. Operator controlled content - operators may add to their listings or change text and images at any time (eg seasonal times of the year, short term specials), from any location with internet access through our password protected operator administration system.
10. A free visitor newsletter, Holiday Inspirations, so visitors can stay up to date with specials.
11. Ongoing and continual research into operators and visitors needs allowing us to continually improve and constantly invent new resources.
