The allocation of VR holiday cottages for the summer of 2025 will proceed as follows:
- On My pages, members can apply for a total of three cottages, ranking their choices first, second and third.
- Maximum rental per member is one week during the summer.
- A new system randomly selects from applications and members who are allocated a cottage will be sent an email.
- If a holiday cottage is or becomes available after the allocation, the first come, first serve rule applies.
Important dates
- The application period is from 15 January till 27 February.
- It doesn't matter when members apply during the application period, everyone has the same chance of being drawn.
- A random drawing on 28 February determines allocation of cottages.
- Those who are allocated a holiday cottage will be sent an email.
- Members then have two weeks to complete the payment through My pages.
- Once payments for the allocation have been completed, holiday cottages that were not rented out will be reallocated on March 18.
- The confirmation and payment deadline for this second allocation will be from March 18 to March 24.
- The same rule will apply as before, members who have rented a holiday cottage at any time during the last three summers cannot apply for 2025 but can apply for available homes starting on April 2 when general bookings open.
Summer allocation will no longer be limited to one day in January, as has been the practice in recent years.
