Execution Plan

Tighten pricing and occupancy targets around Adelaide-specific demand by seasonalizing rates and minimum-stay rules
Cut fixed costs immediately (staffing shifts, utilities, maintenance scheduling) to reduce the likelihood of negative monthly profit
Differentiate with SEO-led packages (e.g., wine-tour weekends, business stays) and capture local intent keywords to improve conversion
Launch direct booking incentives (member rates, refundable promos) to lift margins and reduce reliance on OTAs
Implement a 13-week cashflow forecast and only expand when monthly profit turns positive for at least 2 consecutive cycles
