👇 Ready to grow your short-term rental business without burning out? This episode is for you.

In this episode of The Accommodation Show, we continue our Building It series with Tim Mortimer, founder of BNB Made Easy, one of the fastest growing short-term rental brands in regional Australia.

What started in Tim’s garage with one listing has grown into a thriving operation with 200+ properties across four markets. But what makes his story so compelling is how he built it: thoughtful planning, community roots, operational discipline, and a strong sense of purpose.

🎯 If you're in the accommodation industry, whether it's short-term rentals, motels, hotels or boutique stays, this episode is packed with practical takeaways. Tim shares the exact strategies he used to scale smart, hire well, and systemise the business without losing what made it special.
