As a nation, we Kiwis love to get away. Bach and holiday home rentals have long been a New Zealand local tradition. It’s not surprising therefore, with the availability and growth of online booking platforms (like Bachcare and Airbnb), that holiday rentals have become not only popular, but valuable revenue sources for many owners.
Every Airbnb owner knows they have to manage the whole hosting process from cleaning and servicing to admin, bookings and enquiries, plus trying to stand out on the platform among thousands of other listings. It goes without saying that success only serves to increase those demands and responsibilities.
If you’re thinking about delving into the world of Airbnb hosting, and you’ve landed here on Bachcare, these questions (and answers) should resonate:
The short answer to all of the above: an Airbnb property manager, like Bachcare. Bachcare offers holiday homeowners the opportunity to extend their rental listing across multiple channels, while enjoying full property management by us.
Bachcare’s centralised support office manages your enquiries, bookings, payments, bonds and guest contracts, year-round / 8.30am to 9.30pm daily to maximise your bookings and revenue.
Bachcare’s professionally trained, locally-based managers ensure your property is kept to a high standard, ready for when your guests arrive and take care of any on the spot queries.
This is a tricky one to deal with on your own because with Airbnb, and the other similar platforms, there is no simple or immediate fix.
Bachcare owners get maximum exposure because your property is listed on our own high-performing website plus all the other known channels such as Airbnb, Bookabach and Booking.com.
Bachcare’s service — which includes listings, bookings, and revenue management— can increase your overall annual rental income and number of nights booked. Bachcare holiday rentals average bookings of 22 or more weekends a year.
Bachcare takes the stress out of renting out your bach. Our team will manage the booking process, only accepting bookings that we deem a good fit for your property, and cleaning is taken care of. If you need someone to check on the property, we can arrange for one of our local managers to pop over. We can also help organise holiday home maintenance and gardening if required.
This is very common. We create a new listing for your property on Airbnb, Bachcare, and other partner sites so it can properly integrate with our booking and financial systems - so you can get paid! Your original listing will be closed so that we can take over all the hard work from you.
We can offer the Bachcare service to you from wherever you are in the world. Our local Auckland-based team manages all guest communication, and a Bachcare manager in your local holiday home area takes care of the cleaning in between bookings. For your own questions, we're just a phone call or email away and you can access the Owner Portal when ever you want.
While we cannot offer insurance advice, you will certainly need it for your holiday home. Our team of New Owner Advisors can point you in the right direction!
