BRIEF PERSONAL HISTORY: We’re married for 36 years and live on the Gold Coast, QLD. Hilary is from South Africa. She emigrated with her family to Australia when she was 10 years old. We’ve both worked in aged care and disability services. In 2014, I focused on the business of short stay holiday rentals. I love wearing Hawaiian Shirts. I dream of travelling and working at the same time. For me it’s going to be a Working Holiday! TRAVEL HISTORY: We love traveling. We’ve been to: • Vanuatu • New Caledonia • Fiji • New Zealand • Papua New Guinea • UAE • Singapore • Taiwan • South Africa • Canada HOLIDAY RENTAL HISTORY: We started with one holiday rental in 2004. By 2025 we had 8-9 holiday rentals. We have been using online booking channels for the last 20+ years. We want to take it to the next level. Now we’re registered as Aussie Chillout Pty Ltd.
