Our service

What we handle

Everything involved in running a short-term rental, from the listing to the linen.

Listing and marketing

We create and manage your listings on Airbnb and Booking.com, including photography, descriptions and calendar sync across platforms so the property is never double booked.

Pricing and occupancy

Nightly rates set and adjusted for season, demand and local events. The aim is a calendar that is full at the right rate, not simply full.

Guest vetting and communication

Every enquiry screened and answered, check-in and check-out arranged, and a local contact available to guests for the length of their stay.

Cleaning, laundry and maintenance

Turnover cleaning, fresh linen and restocking between every stay, with repairs and upkeep arranged as soon as something needs attention.

Why owners work with us

Small, local and hands on

We are a mother-and-daughter team based in Hermanus, with three years of experience managing holiday properties here. We take on a limited number of homes so that each one gets proper attention.

Your property is looked after by the same two people who host the guests staying in it, which is how standards stay consistent and how problems get dealt with quickly.

  • LocalWe live here. When something needs attention, one of us goes, rather than a call centre logging a ticket.
  • SelectiveA limited collection of properties, and care taken over who stays in them.
  • One point of contactThe same two people from first enquiry to check out, for you and for your guests.
