Bachcare has been helping New Zealand property owners earn more from their baches and holiday homes for over 20 years. We know every owner is different, some want to hand everything over and switch off completely, others prefer to stay hands-on and keep costs lower.
That’s why we offer two distinct service models. Take a look at both and find the one that fits the way you want to work.
Full Serivice Management:
We handle everything, lisitngs, pricing, guest management, cleaning and linen. You simply enjoy the income, without the stress. No wonder it’s our most popular option.
Bachcare Host:
At a lower cost, you manage guest relationships during their stay and cleaning post-stay. We manage the listings, marketing and more with our trusted brand behind you.

Not sure which model suits you? Our team is happy to talk it through with no pressure, just honest advice from people who know the short-term rental market inside out.
Wondering what the journey will involve? We’ve outlined the 6 key steps of our process.
Lets Talk
It all begins with a quick, friendly conversation. We'll talk through your goals, what makes your place special, and how we can tailor our service to suit your needs.
Time to get started
Once you’re ready you’ll fill out the New Owner Form and complete the Happy Place Check with your local Managed Service Provider — this helps us get to know your property inside and out.
Getting you Market Ready
We’ll showcase your property with high-quality photography, craft a compelling listing that highlights its unique charm, and recommend a pricing strategy designed to set you up for success.
Preview and Polish
You’ll receive a preview of your listing to review. This is your chance to make any tweaks before it goes live — we’ll work with you to make sure it feels just right.
You're Live and Ready!
Your property goes live on Bachcare and top booking sites.
You Relax, We Manage
From guest support and cleaning to pricing and performance — we handle the details, while you stay in the loop through your Owner Portal and App. Sit back and enjoy!
