Why owners hand us the keys

We price from real numbers

We set your rates from what similar homes near you charge and how often they're booked, and we move them as the season changes.

We run the whole thing

From the photos to the reviews after a guest leaves, we do the work. You get the income and a statement every month.

We're about twenty minutes away

We're a permanent team, all based here. When a geyser goes at 11pm in Camps Bay, one of us is at the door.

Questions owners ask us

What does it cost?

Our fee is 20% of what your home takes in bookings, so we only do well when you do. There's no setup fee and no monthly retainer.

Can I still use my own home?

Of course. Most of our owners block out their own dates. December for the family, a week here and there. You keep the calendar; we work around it.

Am I locked in?

No. If it's not working for you, you can take it back. We'd rather earn the next month than trap you into it.

What about damage and difficult guests?

We check guests before they book and take a deposit where the booking site allows it. The site's own host protection sits behind that, and the bigger protection is that we choose who stays.

Is my home right for this?

Not every home is. If we think yours won't earn enough to be worth the trouble, we'll tell you and won't take it on. The estimate gives you a first, honest answer.

How accurate is the earnings estimate?

We build it from what similar homes near you charge and how full they are. It can't see your view, your finish or your photos, and those make a big difference, so we show a range and then come and look.
