The Holiday Shacks Team

About Us

Holiday Shacks® Luxury Accommodation is the leading privately owned luxury short stay rental management company in Victoria. We provide a complete end-to-end business solution tailoring the management of our luxury portfolio to our client’s needs. We design tailored marketing solutions to ensure we attract great repeat guests for your luxury home.

Holiday Shacks® Luxury Accommodation was created by our Managing Director, Andrea Wilson, when she ‘opened the doors’ of her own luxury holiday home in Mount Martha in 2007.

Andrea is a strong advocate for the short stay industry in Australia. She has extensive industry knowledge and is currently on several tourism and industry advocacy and policy committees and in the past has been an Executive Board Director and President for the national industry body.

Andrea’s passion and enthusiasm have transformed our team into a dedicated group of people who share a common goal: to make each stay feel like a true home away from home.

Family centred

At Holiday Shacks, we take a genuine, family-centred approach to all we do.

As a proud family-owned business for 17 years, our team is founded on diversity, strong family values, and a dedication to quality and excellence.

Holiday Shacks Luxury Accommodation was founded by Andrea Wilson, a true entrepreneur with an eye for boutique short-term accommodation and family values.

The turn-key solution Holiday Shacks offers is built on a foundation of Andrea’s passion for property including interior design, renovation and project management alongside tourism, growing the local sharing economy and enhancing the visitor experience to our wonderful region.

We treat your property as our own

We deeply value our guests and the homeowners who entrust us with their cherished properties, caring for each home as if it were our own. Andreas’ commitment to her craft is evident not only in Holiday Shacks success but also in her active participation on various boards, where she advocates for and educates others in the industry.

Community and care

Through her leadership, our team continues to uphold the values that make Holiday Shacks a truly special place for guests, property owners and our community alike. Over the years we have supported a number of family charities and continue to provide a platform that embraces community care.

Fine dining

We can organise fine dining experiences at any of our properties and have it ready during your stay.

Yona, our in-house dining chef, brings over 12 years of global culinary experience to your Holiday Shacks stay. Originally from the Basque Country, his passion for food began in Biarritz, inspired by the region’s rich tapas culture.

He honed his skills at the prestigious Hotel Du Palais and London’s 2 Michelin-starred Joël Robuchon before working with Neil Perry at Rockpool Bar & Grill and Andrew McConnell at Cumulus Inc., mastering wood-fired flavors and the finest local ingredients.

Now, Yonas delivers more than just a meal—his food is an experience, adding to your curated stay at Holiday Shacks. From relaxed family meals to indulgent multi-course feasts, every dish is tailored to your tastes, ensuring an unforgettable, restaurant-quality dining experience for every guest.
