Curate handles the strategy, design, and setup of your holiday home investment. Once the property is guest-ready, Balmy Breaks, our licensed management partner, takes over operations, guest communication, and care. Together, we offer a seamless, end-to-end experience from purchase through to professional management and ongoing performance.

No. While our full service delivers the most cohesive outcome, you can engage us for standalone services such as consulting, photography, styling, buyer advocacy or listing upgrades.

We specialise in quality holiday homes with strong short-term rental potential. Our focus is on homes with lifestyle appeal across the Sunshine Coast and Fraser Coast.

Styling and setup services are quoted as fixed fees. Buyer advocacy uses a hybrid model with a small engagement fee and a success-based commission. Property management is commission-based and offered through Balmy Breaks. All fees are confirmed upfront in writing.

Yes. We provide a consultancy service to assist clients with existing properties that need a rebrand, styling update or management improvement.

We are proudly based in Coolum Beach and are committed to being respectful and responsible contributors to the community. We prioritise local suppliers, support independent trades and creatives, and choose partners who share our values. We actively promote responsible tourism by encouraging guests to respect the natural environment, local culture and residential neighbourhoods. Our approach is low-impact, considered and community-conscious.

Our team extends up to the Fraser Coast ensuring all properties are given the care and attention required.

We prioritise quality over quantity and avoid fast furnishings or disposable trends. We work with ethical, durable products and aim to reduce waste across every phase of setup. Where possible, we incorporate eco-friendly materials and low-tox products into each property. We also recommend sustainable guest essentials such as refillable toiletries, local produce, and low-impact cleaning supplies to support both comfort and conscious travel.

We start with a strategy session to understand your goals and preferences. From there, we search for on- and off-market properties that align with your brief, arrange and attend inspections, and manage negotiations on your behalf. We also coordinate building and pest inspections, connect you with trusted professionals for legal advice, accounting and investment entity structuring, insurance recommendations, and lending options. Throughout the process, we assess each property’s potential for strong performance and guest appeal, as well as opportunities to add value. We guide you every step of the way through to settlement.

We use a hybrid fee model. A small engagement fee is charged at the start of the process, and a success-based commission is paid only when we secure your property. This ensures transparency and alignment.
