Start your summer off with $500 in cold, hard cash

TIMES News Group and Surf Coast Holiday Rentals are teaming up to make someone’s summer wishes come true with $500 up for grabs in a new partnership competition.

Residents from the Surf Coast, Bellarine and Geelong community are encouraged to scan the QR code below and enter the competition via email to win this prize.

The $500 cash can go towards renting a Surf Coast dream property, a family weekend retreat along the Great Ocean Road, or towards Christmas shopping: whatever it is, you decide.

Surf Coast Holiday Rentals has more than 200 premier holiday rentals across Torquay, Jan Juc and Geelong, offering a wide variety of accommodation options to suit every taste and budget.

Surf Coast Holiday Rentals owner Daniel Aitken said his team was incredibly excited to be teaming up “to kickstart your holiday slush fund”.

“We are thrilled to be giving people the opportunity to get away and have a break by the coast, particularly in these current difficult times.

“It’s a great way of supporting local businesses and the community to have a great summer.

“The $500 can be put towards whatever holiday you choose, or you can give it to a friend as a Christmas gift.

“Times News Group are a great supporter of local businesses and are super pro-local and we are really proud to be partnering with them on this exciting giveaway.”

Times News Group’s Molly Perrett said the local news publisher was thrilled to be launching the new partnership with Surf Coast Holiday Rentals.

“We are so supported by our community, so it’s time they get rewarded for sticking with us. What better time of year to give the bank account a boost.

“The $500 cold hard cash could go towards whatever you like!

“It might cover off the Christmas list, it might go towards one of the many social functions for the season or it could go towards a holiday with Surf Coast Holiday Rentals.”

People who enter will also receive $100 off a four-night stay or more from Surf Coast Holiday Rentals.

The competition closes on Thursday, November 30, with winners announced on Friday, December 1. Head to timesnewsgroup.com.au/win/summer-holiday-bonus
