How do I update my calendar?
Where your property will be unavailable for any reason (repairs, bookings from other sources, you're on holiday etc) you can ‘block out’ your calendar. You will then receive no enquiries for the dates you block out.

Keeping your calendar up-to-date ensures you get the highest possible ranking on the TakeABreak.com.au site. Feedback from guests also shows that there is nothing more frustrating than making an enquiry only to find out that the dates they requested are not available.

2. Select your property.
3. Go to the purple 'Calendar & Enquiries' tab.
4. Using your mouse, highlight those dates you wish to block out.
5. Click ‘No vacancies’.
The dates you selected will be coloured red.
6. To unblock dates just select the dates again and click 'Unblock dates'.

You can also update your calendar each time you respond to an enquiry. After you respond to the enquiry, the next page will show your calendar. Just select the dates and click 'no vacancies' to block the selected dates or 'unblock dates' to unblock them.
