Leave the busy work to us: from finding the perfect guests to taking care of cleaning and maintenance, we’ve got it all sorted. Our strategy blends short-term and long-term rentals while leveraging multiple platforms to maximise your property’s visibility and income, all year round. Plus, you can still use your place whenever you want.
Airbnb charges a 15% fee (plus any VAT/GST) on your total earnings. Our management fee, also subject to VAT/GST, is based on your gross income from the platform. You can check out our full range of services here.
During your initial onboarding, we'll give you a handy checklist of essential items, including initial cleaning supplies and guest essentials like toilet paper and toiletries. Our cleaning team will keep these stocked for you, and we'll only charge you the cost price for these items. Airbnb guests are responsible for paying cleaning fees that directly cover our cleaning and laundry services.
