What Our Clients Say

D. Morgan

Our property in Kaikoura had been on a long term lease for quite a while, but the returns were never all that exciting. We got in touch with Iliya and decided to give short-term rental a try. The team handled everything, from styling the space to creating the listing and sorting cleaners. Within a short time, bookings were coming in regularly. We’ve seen a noticeable increase in income, especially during tourist season, and we haven’t had to manage any of it ourselves. It’s been an easy and worthwhile change.

S. Patel

I was leasing my Kaikoura home to long-term tenants but started looking for better options when the market shifted. Aotearoa Escapes came recommended, and working with Hannah and her team made the whole transition simple. They took full control of the setup, pricing, guest communication, and maintenance. Since switching, the property has been consistently booked and is generating stronger returns than I was used to. It’s a completely hands-off solution and has turned out to be the right call for this area.

Frequently Asked Questions

#1

How much rental income can I expect from my property as an Airbnb rental?

The income your property can generate as a short-term rental depends on factors like location, property size, amenities, and the time of year.

Even after management fees, most owners find they earn more and save time compared to self-managing.

#4

How do Airbnb rental managers handle guest screening and property security?

Top rental managers use strict guest screening practices, including identity verification, reviews analysis, and booking restrictions.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

They helped us setup our first AirBnB property from staging to photos until it’s up on multiple sites. They are amazing and you can fully entrust your short term rental to them.
