Stays
Whole furnished family homes in the Sutherland Shire while yours is repaired. A room for each of the kids, a fenced yard, and the pet comes too.
- Whole homes
- Pets welcome
- Dates that flex with your claim
A hotel is built for a weekend.
A repair takes months.
If you've been offered a hotel room or a serviced apartment on your claim, there is another option. Your family shouldn't have to squeeze into one room, and the dog shouldn't have to go to a kennel.
Our homes are close to where you already live, so the kids stay at their school and life stays as normal as it can.
| What you get | Hotel or serviced apartment | A Shire Stay home |
|---|---|---|
| Space | Studio to 2-bedroom unit | 4 to 5 bedroom family house |
| Kids' bedrooms | Often shared or sofa beds | A room each |
| Pets | Frequently not accepted | Welcome in most of our homes |
| Outdoors | A balcony at best | Private yard, often a pool |
| Kitchen | Kitchenette | Full kitchen |
| Laundry | Shared or paid | Private laundry |
| Suited to | A few nights | Weeks to months while repairs run |
