Hi, I’m Elissa — Aussie mum, host, and founder of Rather Be Properties. My husband Al and I fell in love with hosting after launching our first rental. We now manage family-friendly vacation homes designed for comfort, ease, and 5-star stays. When we’re not working, we’re outdoors with our two girls—camping, biking, or chasing sunsets. We can’t wait to host you!
