Our Story

We built it for ourselves first

Superhosts since 2015 — tired of paying for a stack of tools we only half-used.

To run our own short-term rentals well, we ended up subscribing to a different provider for every little thing.

A digital guidebook here, WiFi marketing there, guest messaging somewhere else — each one its own login, each one another $10–15 a month, whether we used it or not:

TouchStay ~$12/mo StayFi ~$15/mo Messaging tools ~$10/mo …and more

Many of our places are seasonal — busy a few months, quiet the rest — so paying full price, all year round, for tools we only needed part of the time simply didn't add up. So we built our own all-in-one platform instead.

After running it across our own properties in New Zealand and Australia for years, we opened it up to every host:

The digital guidebook is free, forever. You only pay for the premium extras you actually use — pick and choose, no bundles, no lock-in.

Our Properties

We own and manage properties across New Zealand and Australia:

Based in Tauranga (NZ), we travel frequently between our properties and abroad.

Still weighing it up? So was this host.

A host with two properties sent us 30 questions before they signed up: sync intervals, access points, what happens when the WiFi portal won't load, Roku TVs, warranties, commissions and the actual pricing. We answered every one of them in public.
