We recently started with Iliya for Airbnb management of our property in Wānaka and have been really happy with how things have gone. He looks after the day to day stuff including guests, bookings, cleaning and making sure everything is running smoothly.

It’s been really helpful having someone take care of everything as we dont live nearby and dont want to be dealing with guest messages and issues all the time. Iliya is easy to deal with and always gets back to us quickly.

Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for Airbnb management in Wānaka. Really happy with the service so far.

I live overseas and was looking for a reliable Airbnb management company for my property in Queenstown when I came across Iliya at Aotearoa Airbnb Management.

From day one, the communication has been excellent and they've taken care of everything, from guest messages and bookings to organising cleaners and making sure the property is looked after. It's such a relief knowing my property is in good hands while I'm on the other side of the world.

Couldnt be happier with the service so far and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy Airbnb manager.

Thank you

I can't speak highly enough of Aotearoa Escapes and Iliya. From the very beginning, the communication was outstanding, clear, prompt and professional at every stage. Iliya was always friendly, approachable and incredibly helpful which made the entire process easy and stress free.

What really stood out was the level of service provided. Everything was handled efficiently and professionally and it was obvious that Iliya genuinely cares about both his clients and the properties he manages. Any questions or concerns were dealt with quickly and I always felt well informed and supported.

Beyond being highly professional, Iliya is simply a great person to deal with. He's easy to talk to, honest, knowledgeable and always willing to go the extra mile to help. It's rare to find someone who combines excellent customer service with such a genuine and personable approach.

I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Aotearoa Escapes and Iliya to anyone looking for property management or short term rental services. Their professionalism, communication, efficiency and commitment to providing outstanding service make them an absolute pleasure to work with.

Cheers Iliya it's been a pleasure.

We booked the Sacred Dome near New Plymouth in Taranaki from Iliya at Aotearoa Escapes.

It was spectacular! The best home away from home!

Where do I start? From our first contact with Iliya, everything just kept getting better.

Wonderful hosts, spectacularly amazing house with unique architecture! The space itself is lovely, warm and really feels comfortable for everyone from our 3 year old to the older adults! We loved that there is a dedicated prayer room on the top floor… the beautiful windows revealing the surrounds, including Mount Taranaki made the space perfect for contemplation.

We also loved the small details, including the inclusion of hose bidets in the bathroom. This is very helpful and inclusive of Eastern cultures where washing is the norm!

As for the scenery… on one side is the beautiful west coast of New Zealand, with amazing sunsets and on the other is Mount Taranaki in all its majesty. As for nights, the lack of light in the surrounds of the property allows for perfect observation of the night sky and the stars. A must indeed if you are staying… just step out, and look up!!!

We were also very lucky to be greeted by the beautiful horses of the neighbouring property who kept visiting us at the fence and seemed very approachable. The neighbours are also very lovely and keen for a good chat on a quiet day.

Overall, this has been our best stay away from home - it’s private, it’s serene, it’s beautiful. We can’t wait to be back.

Thank you Iliya for making this possible and looking forward to come back in the future!

We’re proud to work alongside a team that genuinely cares about maintaining high standards for their properties and guests. Highly recommend Aotearoa Airbnb Management to any property owner looking for reliable short term rental management in Whangarei.
