Discover its potential as a holiday home, with local management by Swell Stays; from concept and design through to full-time bookings.
That's what similar homes in our portfolio earned in gross booking revenue; not a projection, an actual result. Vista Lane's mix of location and lifestyle appeal puts it in exactly the kind of spot our best-performing homes sit in.
The earlier you loop us in, the smoother the handover from tools-down to first guest. Once your build is complete, your home can be photographed, listed and taking bookings straight away; no gap between move-in-ready and income-ready. We'll show you exactly what a similar home nearby could be worth as a short-stay let.
Fifteen years of managing holiday homes has taught us exactly what guests book again and again, and what sits empty. Bring us your plans early and we'll help you build in the features that turn a nice house into a booked-out one.
Planning approvals are part of getting any short-term rental off the ground, and most owners work through the Shire application and STRA approval on their own. If you hit a snag or just want advice before you submit, we're a phone call away.
Guests choose a home from a handful of photos long before they ever walk through the front door, so the way a property is laid out, furnished and finished has a direct bearing on how often it books and what it can charge. Drawing on what we see work across our own portfolio, we'll talk you through the interior design and finish choices that photograph beautifully and hold their appeal, so your home is working for its occupancy from the very first listing.
We know what makes a short-stay property stand out in a competitive market. Drawing on our experience across a wide range of homes, we can share real-life examples of the styling, décor and thoughtful touches that help properties feel warm, memorable and appealing to guests.From what photographs well to the little details guests notice, we can help guide you in creating a home that has its own personality and a strong place in the market.
A short look from our onboarding team at exactly the kind of styling choices covered above; the small calls that make a real difference to how often a home books.
"I did a 4-month comparison of the same property, prior management vs Swell Stays, and Swell Stays exceeded my net income by far."
"Switching to Swell Stays took a load off and gave me the confidence our house was being cared for and guests looked after."
"The whole team are wonderful and diligent — always on top of everything our property needs."
"A well-oiled machine who work collaboratively with owners. Couldn't ask for better management."
"It's not just about money — it's transparency, and the sense you're in partnership together, rather than just making money off owners."
"We've seen a very strong increase in bookings immediately. It's certainly off to a great start."
