A house set up for fishing holidays

[pueter66]

OOPS, thats a bloody good point I will update the website. The place is Keppel Sands near Rockhampton in queensland. It is a 30 min drive form Rocky, Emu Park and Yeppoon. So you can go to shopping centres and resteraunts if you need to. But the town of Keppel sands is a little town only around 300 people it has a pub, postoffice, takeaway and shop. You can catch or buy bait there and buy ice across the road. Most people just walk everywhere. The speed limit is only 40 km an hour virtualy no traffic and no one on the beach. I you spot anymore errors or omissions let me know. i will look forward to seeing you all. I reckon i could swing a discount if you rang and said you were from Ausfish Good Pick up

I bought an onsite caravan at Rainbow Beach and renovated it.
Used to rent it out but some clients are dirty buggers and do not clean showers,
toilets and stove just to name the main areas now I do not let anyone stay except family
We love it because we can rock up anytime and the bed is made clothes are in draws and cupboards
and only have to bring milk and bread

I am keeping a list of clients who rent and if you do the right thing you can re rent if you dont respect the rules or the house or are generaly dirty buggers. You will never be able to restay. My aim is to make sure that each and everytime somebody stays to ensure that they get a great stay each time and the people that follow them also get one.

Do the Breaka Girls come with the package?

If you are going for fishos and you don't want noise from engine flushing you might think about a flush tank setup.

Quieter and better for all concerned than muffs. Good luck with it.

Actually I have put a flush tank in for that very reason. Cheers Pete

Some constructive criticism:

Your site uses Flash so parts of it are not visible to all the users in the Apple universe. Think about all those IPads and iPhones that cant see some of your site.

The layout of having cottage details in the About Us section goes against web norms and many visitors will therefore miss your main points.

Better if that text is on front page or under Features heading.

Your slide show was done using a template that has 'Some text' in an area that you are meant to replace with your own text... Looks a bit silly.

You said that you have set up a flush tank.... That's a feature you should mention on your site. Probably there are others. Maybe I missed it.

Looks like a nice place... I wish you well and mean to help with the above comments. Good luck.

A good way to track visitors is to request their registration details. That way if they book in a different name you can still check to see if they have stayed before.

Thanks for the input that is helpfull. I went back onto the editing site and reloaded the photos and used their text editor just as I was supposed to but that annoying white bit keeps poping up in the photos, I will have to call the experts and see whats going on.
My wife seems to be able to view the site no worries on her iphone, maybe she has some sort of app. The flush tank is only a new addition so I havent had a chance to put it up on the website. plus the non fisho"s might think its some sort of old age toilet from the dark ages. I could probably take a photo of someone flushing their motor out and put that up to avoid confusion. All observations are welcome both positive and negative, I am trying to make this place great so something I miss or dont know about is taken in the helpfull context that it was delivered.

Flash is unavailable to the Apple world unless you are using a jail broken device.

I really think the About us section is wrong. Look at other sites and About Us is like a bio section.

You have a mix of Bio and Cottage Features.

Generally the more pics the more confident people are to go there. My advice is create a Gallery section and plonk a zillion photos there.
Good luck with it all.

You need to download dobie flash player 10.1 apparently it is suitable for apple applications. I confirmed it with the it guy but its apparently what my wife has as well you do not need to have a jail broken phone. I am waiting on some more pics but they wont be posted up untill next week. My wife is decorating in there this weekend and doing a great job i hear. Cheers Pete

Looks very very nice.
Hope the tennants appreciate your work and look after the place.

The holiday pad looks great!

A couple of things we look for when travelling to fish;
Boat Parking - off the road - level. Prefer not under trees.
Clothes dryer?
Dishwasher?
(supposed to be a holiday!)

Nice to have;
Fish cleaning station (covered from sun/rain).
Chest Freezer or extra fridge freezer for ice, bait, fish, booze.


What's the local boat ramp like? Is it tide dependant, big boats okay?

All the best, cheers,

Not sure what kind of advice your IT guy is telling you but 99% of Apple users will see the same message as I did. If you don't want the Apple users to see your content then leave it as Flash... But my advice would be use HTML 5 instead.

Have a quick read of this:
