Dive into the final edition of 2025 as Resort News delivers another insightful, information-packed issue for accommodation industry professionals. This month, we explore the trends, challenges and triumphs that shaped an extraordinary year across management rights, strata, tourism, and accommodation operations.

Our December cover story, “Charting a New Course: The Boathouse’s Family-Focused Success Story,” takes you inside one of Australia’s most inspiring hospitality success journeys—highlighting the power of vision, resilience, and community-centred leadership.

Be cautious of a module change

Imagine this—you’re doing your job well, the committee is happy with you and you’ve built up a solid business. All of that hard work is then under threat by one motion approved at a general meeting. If you are a manager and your agreements are administered under the accommodation module, please pay attention to this article. We are seeing an increasing number of managers facing the risk of their scheme being changed from the accommodation module to the standard module and the consequent effect on their management rights agreements.

Charting a new course: The Boathouse’s family focused success story

For Lea and Ross Andrews, life by the sea was always part of the plan, though not quite like this. What began as a dream of a seaside retirement has evolved into a full-scale family adventure. Together with their three children, Alivia, Mason and Ryan, they own and manage The Boathouse Apartments in beautiful Airlie Beach, a 4.5-star property that now embodies everything they value: family, community and coastal living.
