Q   What is the process if we are interested in finding out more about property availability?

A   The first step is to contact us, either via email or by calling our office. We will have a brief discussion about what you are looking for and then agree upon the best way to get you the most appropriate information.

Q   What kind of standards can we expect in the properties?

A   Our properties range in size and types of amenities. The staff at Country Roads will help you narrow down your search by asking you to indicate what qualities are most important to you and directing you to the properties that will best suit your needs.

Q   Why rent with Country Roads versus finding a property on-line or in the newspaper classifieds?

A   It depends on the accommodation, it can be for as little as two nights.

Q   How does the pricing work - are some times of the year more cost-friendly than others?
