Insurance Accommodation · Cronulla
A whole-home alternative to Rydges Cronulla Beachside
A hotel like Rydges Cronulla Beachside is built for a night or a weekend, not for a family living out of it for months during an insurance rebuild. If you've been offered hotel accommodation on your claim, a furnished whole home in Cronulla gives your family room to actually live while repairs are underway.

Why families choose a house
You can keep your pet. Most hotels can't take animals, so a claim can force a family to choose between their accommodation and their dog. Most of our homes are pet-friendly, with enclosed yards.
There's room to be a family. A whole house means the kids have their own rooms, a yard to play in, a real kitchen for family meals, and your own front door — not a shared lift and a corridor.
It's built for a longer stay. Repairs and rebuilds run for weeks or months, not nights. Our homes and our whole approach are set up for that, including help with extensions when the timeline slips.

Common questions
Can I get a house instead of Rydges Cronulla Beachside on my insurance claim?
Often, yes. Your policy covers temporary accommodation appropriate to your household. If a hotel can't fit your family, or won't take your pet, a whole home can be a reasonable request — and we can talk to your insurer or their booking agent directly about arranging it.
Are your homes pet-friendly?
Most of them, yes. Hotels frequently can't accommodate pets, which is one of the main reasons families come to us rather than splitting up their household during a claim.
How long can we stay?
Our homes suit stays from a few weeks to several months — the typical length of an insurance repair or rebuild — and we help arrange extensions when repairs run over, which they often do.
