After nearly 8 years of leasing our property in Tauranga, we weren’t sure how to step into short term rentals. Aotearoa Escapes handled every step from cleaning and staging to creating a compelling listing that highlighted nearby beaches and cafés. They send a detailed monthly report, so we always know how things are tracking. It’s been way smoother than expected.

Before working with Aotearoa Escapes, my rental property in Taupō was barely breaking even. I was constantly chasing tenants for rent, and the maintenance costs were adding up. Iliya walked me through the short-term rental process, and within weeks, my property was generating more income than ever. The best part is that I don’t have to do anything—Aotearoa Escapes handles the bookings, guest communication, and cleaning. I finally feel like my property is working for me, instead of the other way around.

After dealing with unreliable tenants in my Nelson rental, Iliya at Aotearoa Escapes took over and turned it into a stress-free and profitable short-term rental. No more late rent payments, no more drama. Now, I’m making more rental income, and my property is actually better maintained!

Iliya and his team have been consistent in providing a hands free approach by managing my property into the short term rental market. I just don’t have the time to do it myself so why not get someone else to do it. They take care of the bookings, communication, cleaning, you name it. Highly recommend just to even see how it goes, they even do a 90 day trial

Iliya reached out after I had my property listed looking for a tenant. He provided in depth benefits of the short-term rental market. With his hassle-free approach. After several conversations, he was able to give me more assurance to get his team to manage my property. My monthly income has increased, and I couldn’t be happier!
Running a successful short-term rental involves far more than simply creating a listing. This is where expert Airbnb management can make a real difference. At Aotearoa Escapes, we provide homeowners across New Zealand with a complete solution that handles every aspect of hosting. Our goal is to ensure your property earns its full potential while you enjoy a stress-free experience.
Our approach combines personalised service, industry expertise, and hands-on management. We understand that every home is different, and our Airbnb management strategies are tailored to meet your unique goals. Whether you want to increase occupancy, attract premium guests, or secure reliable passive income, we create a plan that works for your property.
From the start, we take care of all listing details. This includes professional photography, engaging property descriptions, and optimisation for top booking platforms. By highlighting your property’s unique features and ensuring it stands out in a competitive market, we increase the likelihood of bookings and better rates.
Dynamic pricing is another important part of effective Airbnb management. By analysing local market trends, seasonal demand, and booking patterns, we ensure your property is competitively priced at all times. This approach maximises revenue, maintains occupancy, and ensures your short-term rental performs consistently throughout the year.
Guest experience is equally crucial. Happy guests leave glowing reviews, which attract more bookings and build your property’s reputation. Our Airbnb management team provides responsive, friendly communication with every guest, handling inquiries, check-in instructions, and any support needed during their stay. This level of attention helps create memorable experiences that encourage repeat bookings and positive word-of-mouth.
Property care is also a critical part of our service. We coordinate professional cleaning after each stay, conduct regular inspections, and arrange maintenance or repairs quickly when needed. This proactive approach protects your investment and ensures guests always enjoy a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment.
Hosting also comes with regulatory responsibilities. Short-term rental rules in New Zealand vary by region, and staying compliant can be complex. Our Airbnb management team ensures your property meets all legal requirements, giving you peace of mind and allowing you to focus on the benefits of hosting rather than worrying about compliance.
Beyond daily management, we provide advice to enhance your property’s appeal. From interior styling and furniture choices to highlighting nearby attractions, we help maximise your rental potential. Effective marketing strategies, including seasonal campaigns, social media promotion, and targeted outreach, ensure your property is visible to the right audience.
Revenue optimisation is another key benefit of professional Airbnb management. We monitor market trends, adjust pricing strategies, and implement tools that help your property earn its full potential. By combining data insights with local knowledge, we help you increase occupancy, improve nightly rates, and ultimately maximise returns.
We also focus on creating repeat guests and encouraging positive reviews. Personalised touches, thoughtful communication, and prompt problem resolution ensure guests feel valued. These practices strengthen your property’s reputation and increase the likelihood of long-term success.
Technology plays a crucial role in modern Airbnb management. From automated messaging tools to owner dashboards that provide real-time insights, we use systems that streamline operations while keeping you informed. This makes it easier to manage multiple properties and track performance without the stress of manual oversight.
As a family-owned business, we bring a personal touch to every property we manage. Trust, transparency, and long-term relationships are central to our philosophy. We treat every home as if it were our own, ensuring a high standard of care and service.
Choosing Aotearoa Escapes for Airbnb management means partnering with a team dedicated to your property’s success. Whether your property is a city apartment, family home, or holiday retreat, we provide the expertise, systems, and personal attention needed to make hosting smooth, profitable, and rewarding.
We also offer guidance on local amenities and experiences that appeal to guests, helping your property stand out. From recommending nearby activities to providing small thoughtful touches within the home, we help create a memorable stay that encourages repeat bookings.
Finally, our deep knowledge of New Zealand’s short-term rental market allows us to position your property for success. We understand what guests are looking for in each location, and we tailor our Airbnb management approach to attract the right audience. By combining local insight, professional management, and hands-on service, your property can achieve consistent bookings, positive reviews, and reliable income.
If you are looking for professional Airbnb management in New Zealand that combines local expertise, personalised care, and proven results, Aotearoa Escapes is here to make hosting effortless, profitable, and stress-free. By partnering with us, you can enjoy the rewards of short-term rental ownership without the day-to-day challenges, knowing your property is in capable hands.
A key advantage of professional Airbnb management is the ability to optimise every aspect of your property’s performance while reducing the stress and time commitment for owners. At Aotearoa Escapes, we take a holistic approach that goes beyond just bookings and cleaning. We actively monitor guest feedback to identify opportunities for improvement, implement small enhancements that increase comfort and satisfaction, and ensure that each stay exceeds expectations. By creating a consistent and high-quality experience, we help build a strong reputation for your property, which not only encourages repeat bookings but also increases long-term profitability. Additionally, we understand the importance of staying ahead in a competitive market. Our team analyses trends, reviews competitor listings, and adjusts strategies accordingly, making sure your property remains desirable and consistently performs well throughout the year. We also provide guidance on smart investment decisions, such as property upgrades or decor improvements that can enhance appeal and rental value. Our approach integrates technology with personal service, using automated systems to manage routine communications while offering hands-on attention to unique situations or special requests. With Aotearoa Escapes, Airbnb management isn’t just about hosting – it’s about creating a seamless, high-performing system that benefits both property owners and guests, ensuring that your investment is managed professionally, efficiently, and profitably.
