Hi Tess
Unfortunately Point Cook is at the other side of the Bay and they don't cover this area. Have you looked at
www.realestate.com.au. Personally, I would have prefered 4 weeks in the short term rental, the reason being is that most realestate agents do an open house on either a Saturday or Sunday and are loathe to open up for you or let you view outside of these days. I am sure it can be done in 2 weeks if you really put your mind to it. I have just had a look on the realestate website for rentals in Point Cook and it says there are 70 available, if you click on one of the properties it shows you a property summary and if you click the "Show Visits" it gives you some idea as to how many people have viewed the property on the website. Don't be put off by these figures as the house we got when we arrived it stated 1021 had viewed but we still managed to secure it, a lot of the site visits are neighbours and friends looking at the property as well.
You could always try
http://www.pointcookrealestate.com.au/ as well. Maybe start looking on these sites a week before you are due to move over and then try and arrange a viewing for when you arrive.
Good luck with the move and if you have any questions at all on Melbourne please feel free to PM me anytime.
