Our Process for Managing Short Stays

We’ll take care of everything for you so that you can relax and enjoy peace of mind, without the hassle of managing your investment property on your own.

1. Property Preparation

We will evaluate your property to make sure it is suitable for the short-term rental market and then give you advice on any styling and inclusions that could improve your property’s overall success and performance.

Additionally, we can help with furniture packages and provide a detailed list of items for each room to prepare your property for Airbnb.

2. Property Setup

After furnishing and styling the property, we will schedule our cleaners to prepare it for guests.

This preparation entails a thorough cleaning, making and arranging the beds, setting up guest amenities, and ensuring the property is in excellent condition for photography.

3. Professional Photography

Professional photos that highlight your property's space and features are crucial for your listing.

When potential guests browse through listings, they often go through hundreds of properties in one area before they come across a standout image.

We will utilise eye-catching photos that also convey a warm and inviting story for your property.

4. Your Property Listed and Earning

Within 2-3 days of receiving the photos, your listing will be prepared and published online for immediate bookings.

The listing for your property will be comprehensive, aimed at attracting guests, and we will offer a guest guide with check-in instructions, as well as operational information for appliances in your home and rules for staying and vacating the property.

We will also monitor your property's bookings and continually improve its listing and pricing to achieve optimal outcomes for you.
