How much can I expect to make?
Unfortunately it's not as simple answer, as there are so many factors to take into consideration such as; location, size of property, interior design, facilities offered, how many other similar listings there are around etc etc.
We therefore offer a complimentary property inspection and analysis where one of our local property managers will meet with you at your property to assess all the details and answer any additional questions you may have. We will then complete a competitor and rate analysis on your individual property for you.

What is included in your 20% commission fee
- The initial meeting, property viewing, rate evaluation & market research.
- Advise on any items that we feel may be missing/ could add value to your property.
- Arranging of professional photographer & assistance with styling for the shoot.
- We will then create your unique listings online and continuously optimise them.
- All communication with guests prior, during and post their stay as required.
- We offer our professional concierge services complimentary to your guests.
- Arranging and overseeing cleaning & laundry & post departure property inspections.
- Arranging for any maintenance required. We will always try and schedule this at a time our cleaning staff are busy in the property, however if we need to oversee the work(men) we will charge an additional fee.
Who pays for the cleaning and laundry?
We pass on the departure cleaning and laundry fee onto the guests, so you do not have to worry about this.
However, for bookings longer than 7 nights, we require your property to be refreshed and linen and towels changed. This is a way for us to ensure your property is maintained and taken care of. This mid-stay clean would be for your own account.

Can you help get my place ready to start renting it out on Airbnb?
Absolutely! We have a great team of interior designers who will help bring your vision to life whilst sticking to your budget. Don't already have a vision, or not the creative type? No problem either, our designers love being creative and will be happy to come up with some awesome suggestions for you that will not only make your place look great, but in turn, increase your revenue and occupancy too.
What types of properties do you manage.
As we have been doing this for a while, we have identified what types of properties are most popular for short term rentals. Our minimum property requirements are therefore as follows:
- Entire property (we do not manage individual rooms in a shared house).
- Our carefully curated Rental Portfolio focuses on unique properties in prime locations.
- Exclusively set up for short-term rentals.
- Secure and safe.
- Uncapped fast Wifi.
- The property must be in excellent condition, fully equipped with appealing interior design.
- Sufficient temperature control (Aircon is preferable, but if not possible fans and heaters).
How do I know when my property is booked?
Owners will have access to their property's booking calendar as well as a spreadsheet that displays all confirmed bookings and total expected income for the month.
Can I still use the property myself or for friends/family?
Yes, absolutely! You can ask us to block off dates for your personal use of the property at any time, providing it is available of course. We will require our cleaners to professionally clean the property after your use to ensure it is back in perfect condition for the next guests.
Will I be stuck in a contract I can't get out of?
Definitely not! You can cancel our agreement at any time, giving at least 1 months notice. All confirmed bookings post this date however will still need to be honoured.
What additional charges do I need to be aware of?
We do not charge a monthly retainer, only 20% management fee on confirmed bookings. However there will be times where we need to arrange, oversee and pay for additional outsourced services on your behalf. We will discuss these terms with you upon sign up and ensure we have your consent before doing so. We will invoice you for these on a monthly basis.
- Mid-stay cleans and laundry as explained above.
- Specific property call outs/overseeing workmen at the property.
- Basic cleaning supplies & guest amenities: toilet paper, washing liquid, black bags etc.
- Topping up of electricity & gas.
- Annual carpet and mattress steam cleaning.
- The initial professional photographs. These will then belong to you.
