Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of the short-term rental market?
Many homes sit empty paying rates, mortgages and insurance. By partnering with us you can earn a solid return on your investment while having someone keeping an eye on the place. When it's holiday time you’ll come to a home that’s been regularly cleaned to a high standard.
Can I still stay in my holiday home?
Of course, it's yours! Some owners stay in their homes for a few months of the year. Others make occasional weekend trips. All we ask is that you communicate when you’ll be there ahead of time so we don’t book guests in during your stay. Generally, we need a minimum of one month's notice - but the more notice you’re able to give us the further out we’re able to open up bookings increasing your earnings.
How much can I expect to make?
Every home is different and a range of factors can affect returns including number of rooms, location, amenities, and time of year available. Homes can range from $200 per night to $1000+ per night. We tend to find that the longer properties have been with us, the more they make as they start to accumulate favourable reviews on booking platforms.
Do you clean the houses yourselves?
We do! However during busy seasons, we employ vetted cleaning contractors to help with the workload.

Marketing an Airbnb is sort of like learning a trade - the more you do it the better you get. We’re always experimenting with ways to increase bookings for our owners including organic and paid campaigns - optimising listing descriptions, photo orders, amenities, and advertising. We also manage guests to ensure that good reviews are left which boosts our listings’ rank in search results.
