Mel Gillespie is the local expert behind First National Iluka’s holiday accommodation magic. Born and bred right here in Iluka, (and known as Minnie to the locals) Mel took a brief detour to Brisbane and seven years ago, she returned to her hometown with her husband and two lively boys in tow, ready to raise a family and reclaim her coastal postcode.

By day, Mel is a powerhouse holiday property manager—juggling bookings and guest queries with the precision of a seasoned professional (and maybe a touch of mum superpower). She’s got a real passion for all things real estate… and an equally strong passion for binging the latest Netflix series. So yes, she’ll organise your holiday booking like a pro—and she will predict the plot twist before the opening credits finish.
Mel’s the go-to for anything holiday-stay related—whether you’re listing your property or just wondering which drawer the corkscrew goes in. Friendly, sharp, and always up for a chat, she keeps things running smoothly so guests can relax—and owners can rest easy. With local knowledge, real estate savvy, and a whole lot of personality, Mel’s not just managing properties—she’s making holidays happen.
