Operator Testimonials
"Alan and I are so impressed with TakeABreak. We are with other sites and they do not compare to you. Also just the personal touches and the contact YOU have with your operators is great. Sometimes we feel that you are all part of the family. We thank you and are so happy we are part of your organisation" Vicki Stevens, Emu Holiday Park, The Grampians
"Just a note to say I have gladly paid my Jan bookings invoice. Just over a month on the site and we are very happy with the response. Keep up the good work. It's a great site." Kevin Henson, Serenity - Lake Macquarie
"I would like to say what a privilege it has been working with such a professional company. You have an outstanding system in place and I applaud your foresight into what the market requires. With kind regards," Jenni Montgomery, Tilley's, by the sea.
"I am an operator member (property Azzura LightHouse, Ocean Grove Victoria) of Take a Break... I am delighted the responses we have received through Take a Break ,and the facilities you provide for operators. I particularly love the links and ease of use to replies in the 1st response email, in contrast to the clunky methods of one of your major competitors. Thank you again and keep up the great work on operators behalf." Terri Patterson.
"I would like to give you my congratulations on a great site. This is the first internet-based advertising site which has been easy to use, easy to upload and where we were accepted and uploaded immediately. Your forms were so easy to use and I couldn't believe how quickly we were up and online. You should really be commended for being the easiest accommodation site to use for both operators and clients" Mandy Wiggins, IT Manager, Eagle View Escape, Blue Mountains
"Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say how pleased we are to be listed with your site. The control panel is so user friendly, and you have sent through a good amount of traffic, even though we've only been with you for about one week. The business tips are absolutely invaluable as well. You really seem to know your business, which is great for the less experienced operators. Best of all, your commission rates are very reasonable therefore allowing us to pass on a great saving to our guests, resulting in a higher conversion rate. It's been great for all involved. We look forwrd to a long lasting and rewarding relationship with TakeABreak!" Suzanne, Manager, Apartment Hotel, East Sydney
"Thanks to you and your team for helping my wife and I establish our business. In the past six months we have had approximately 90% occupancy and it is looking good through to February 06. Many of our bookings have been realised through exposure on your website. Also a big thank you for your rapid response to queries. We keep our information up to date and are pleased you do the same." Alan Woolard, Noosa Beach House, Noosa

"Just a wee note to say thanks for all the useful info on the Operator Resources Info page. There is always lots of helpful tips, and it makes interesting reading.Keep up the good work." Jim & Tracy Blayney, Wolngarin Holiday Resort

I am delighted to say that we have received our very first booking and it was through your website which is even better :)
Am looking forward to a long and fruitful association with you."Carolyn Wilkins, Winesea Cottage
"Thank you for the "Business Breaks Nov 2004" I found it very informative, as it brings to our attention things we should already be aware of !! It's amazing how some small things can slip our minds, and they really can make a difference.
I have said before but I really can't thank you all enough for the help when I have needed it and the opportunity to be on your wonderful site. I have had so many people look at my site, I may not have had many convert into bookings, but that is not your fault, I haven't got what those people are wanting. What has converted into bookings I am truly very happy with, both the amount, and the way it all works. A BIG thank you to you all." Merelyn Davi, Amazing Views of Carrickalinga"I am just setting up my account and I want to congratulate you on the ease of doing this... I am really thrilled with the web site too. It looks great."

"I like the site, the additional customer service by way of quick response to email, the newsletter updates and especially the offer to hand out peoples pamphlets at the expos. You impress as a nice group of people rather than just money grabbers. I think Take a Break is excellent and it is my favourite site." April, A Cottage by the Lake
"Thank you very much for the Business Breaks November 2004 updates. Not only is it well written, informative, but it also highlights to Kimmie and myself how "young" we are in our new venture... The holiday accommodation experience has been a steep leaning curve for us, but applying the disciplines from our retail background and the valuable knowledge transfer like Business Breaks will hopefully keep our "noses in front"...
We very much look forward to building a sound business relationship with the Take a Break Team in the interests of letting our customers "experience the experience". Kimmie and Gordon Grivas.The Cafe Collection.

Keep up the good work", Geoff, Green Gables Cottage, Vivonne Bay, Kangaroo Island, SA
