Your weekender, kept the way you'd keep it — without the trip

Most holiday homes and weekenders sit empty through the week while their owners are back in Melbourne. The garden doesn't stop growing, though — and there's nothing worse than spending the first afternoon of a break mowing instead of relaxing, or having short-stay guests arrive to an overgrown yard. Kanga keeps Peninsula holiday properties tidy on a schedule, so the place is always ready whether it's you or a guest walking in.

Because you're not there to see the work, every visit comes with a quick update — confirmation it's done, and a heads-up on anything that needs attention, from storm damage to a leaking tap by the garden bed. It's the reassurance of having someone reliable keeping an eye on the property, not just mowing it. One fixed fee, the same operator each visit, green waste taken away.

What's included

Tidy, guest-ready, and watched over

Scheduled lawn & garden upkeep

Mowing, edging and bed tidy-ups on a regular cycle so the property never gets away on you between visits.

Guest-ready presentation

Short-stay and holiday-rental properties kept sharp between bookings — presentation that protects your reviews.

Photo & service updates

A quick update after each visit so you can see it's done, and know about anything that needs attention.

Pre-season & holiday readiness

A bigger tidy-up before peak periods — summer, Easter, long weekends — so the property's ready when you need it.

Why Kanga for a holiday home

More than mowing — a reliable presence at the property

Eyes on your property

Fixed fee, remote-friendly

A set price, organised and handled without you needing to be on site — ideal for absentee and interstate owners.

Common questions

Holiday-home maintenance — common questions

Do you maintain holiday homes when the owner isn't there?
Yes — most holiday-home and weekender clients are absentee owners based in Melbourne or interstate. The property is serviced on a set schedule and you get an update after each visit, so you never need to be on site.
Which areas do you cover for holiday properties?
Primarily the Mornington Peninsula — Mornington, Mt Martha, Safety Beach, Dromana, Rye, Sorrento and the Red Hill hinterland — plus south-east Melbourne. Ask about your property.
Can you get the garden ready before we arrive or before guests check in?
Yes — visits can be timed around your stays and short-stay bookings so the property is presentable when you or your guests arrive.
Do you let us know if something's wrong at the property?
Yes — a quick update after each visit flags anything that needs attention, such as storm damage, pests or irrigation problems, so absentee owners aren't caught out.
Are you insured to work on holiday and rental properties?
Yes — $20M public and products liability, fully insured and police-checked, with a Certificate of Currency on request.
