A percentage of what your property earns — we don't get paid until you do.
Compliance built in
STRA registration and fire-safety handled as standard.
Founder-led
You deal with the person managing your property, not a call centre.
Why owners trust us
New name. Honest from day one.
We're just getting started in Sydney, so we won't pretend to have years of reviews we haven't earned yet. Here's what we promise instead — and what we're held to.
Founder-led & accountable
You deal directly with the person managing your property — not a call centre or a rotating account manager.
Our pay is tied to yours
We earn a percentage of what your property earns. If it doesn't book, we don't get paid — so our incentives match yours.
No lock-in, no setup fees
No upfront cost and no fixed-term contract. You stay because it's working, not because you're tied in.
Compliance handled properly
STRA registration, the 180-day cap and fire-safety are managed as standard — by the book, every time.

FAQ
Questions, answered honestly

In Greater Sydney, a non-hosted whole-home listing (where you're not living on-site) can be booked for a maximum of 180 nights per year. Bookings of 21 or more continuous nights don't count toward that cap, and hosted stays aren't limited. We manage your calendar so you stay within the rules.
The management fee only — from 15% of your booking revenue. There's no upfront cost, no setup fee and no lock-in contract.
Yes. It's your property — you can block out dates for your own use anytime, and we'll work the calendar around them.
