The Breakers
Eight years since taking over at The Breakers, the Stephens are still there and during this time they have achieved so much in and out of the property.
Lyn said, “Recently we have had the building repainted. It is a totally different colour scheme to what it was and is now more modern and up-to-date in more fashionable tones.
We have also upgraded the foyer that certainly has freshened up and made the entry to the building more inviting. We seem to be constantly doing things. A lot of the apartments have now been totally renovated and refurnished. We installed hardwired broadband in each apartment about three years ago and changed all the TVs to LCD. The new technology was just a natural progression to keep abreast with the times and keep guests coming back.
Michael and I have also ventured into other management rights properties in the past five years, expanding our business portfolio.”
When Michael and Lyn first ventured into management rights they were fresh out of Sydney with backgrounds in communications and auto accessories. With no previous experience in the accommodation industry, the Stephens excitedly took over The Breakers and have certainly made a name for themselves and their property as both are well know in the accommodation industry.
So to what do the Stephens attribute their success?
“The great team of people that work with us. They are very conscious of high achievement and are continuously striving to make the place present nicely so people can enjoy their stay and make them want to come back, time and time again.”
