Setup
You add us as a co-host on Airbnb. We rewrite the listing, set up the guest guide and brief the cleaners.
We take over
Guests deal with us from the next booking. Your first report arrives at the end of the month.
Founding owners pay 10% for their first three months.
We're taking on our first three properties at a reduced fee with no setup charge, in return for honest feedback and a testimonial. Summer bookings are already coming in.
Questions owners ask us
How do you manage a property without being there?
Almost everything a host does happens on a phone. For the physical side we work with vetted local cleaners and handymen in your area, and every property has a key safe or smart lock, so guests check themselves in.
How do you get paid?
Airbnb lets owners share a percentage of each booking with a co-host, so our fee is paid automatically. You never have to send us money separately for bookings made on Airbnb.
What happens if something breaks or a guest causes damage?
We arrange the repair with our local handyman and send you photos and the quote. Anything above the limit you set needs your approval first. For guest damage we handle the claim through Airbnb.
What about the City's new short-term letting rules?
The City of Cape Town has proposed a by-law that would require short-term rentals to register and report availability. It is still a draft. Co-Host Plus includes handling the registration and tracking for you once the rules are final.
Do I have to sign a long contract?
No. Our agreement runs month to month with one month's notice on either side.
