For owners

Exclusive
Management

We look after a limited number of homes in Byron Bay. It is not a portfolio you join by asking. It is one you are accepted into.

The position

We say
no

Most managers in this region grow by adding homes. We grow by adding service, which means the number of homes has to stay where it is.

There are two lists we run every enquiry against. We compare the house to both before we answer, so that when we do say yes it is because we are genuinely the right fit for it.

What you get

Everything, and
what it covers

The full list, as we give it to owners. Guest concierge services are booked and charged to the guest, not to you.

  1. 01

    Styling and presentation

    Getting the home photographing and living the way it should before a single night is sold.

    • Styling and presentation kept consistent
    • Robes, linen and amenities to one standard
    • Homes we actually believe in
  2. 02

    Marketing and pricing

    Listing, photography, rates and calendar, managed against real demand rather than left on a flat nightly figure.

    • Professional photography and listing optimisation
    • Distribution across the major platforms and our own site
    • Pricing set per property, not a flat nightly figure
  3. 03

    Guest communication

    Every enquiry, booking and question answered by our team, from first message through to checkout.

    • Guest experience held to a five-star standard
    • A direct line to us, never a call centre
    • Local knowledge of the Byron market
  4. 04

    Housekeeping and maintenance

    Cleaning, linen, gardens and the small repairs, caught before they turn into the large ones.

    • Maintenance caught before it becomes a repair
    • Entry condition reports and quality checks
    • A focus on the asset, not just the calendar
  5. 05

    Concierge

    Private chefs, provisioning, transfers, wellness and experiences, which is what keeps guests coming back to your house specifically.

    • Concierge available on every stay
    • A limited portfolio, managed hands-on
    • A director involved at every stage
  6. 06

    Reporting

    Clear statements and a straight answer on performance whenever you ask for one.

    • Real-time reporting and full financial transparency
    • A secure owner portal
    • A fully licensed agency with a compliant trust account

Under management

Everything,
handled

One team, one point of contact and complete transparency on the numbers. You should never have to chase us for an answer about your own house.

The criteria

The two
lists

What a house has to be for us to take it on, and what sends it back the other way.

A manager holding a hundred properties cannot know yours. They cannot walk it before an arrival, notice the tap that has started dripping, or turn down the booking that was never right for the house. We can, because we deliberately never let the portfolio get past a size the team can hold in their heads.

So we turn most enquiries down. Not to be difficult, and not as a sales tactic. It is the only honest way to promise the standard we promise.

  • High-end homes in Byron Bay, Suffolk Park and the surrounding villages
  • Properties presented to a standard a guest paying premium rates expects
  • Owners who want the home cared for, not simply filled
  • Homes where the concierge offering actually makes sense

If the house is right, the conversation is short. We will walk it, tell you what we would change and what it should earn.

How it works

From enquiry
to first guest

Five steps, and we will tell you where you are at every one of them.

You apply

Tell us about the home. Where it is, how it lives, what you want out of it and what has not been working if it is already being managed.

Living space at Karinya, Lawson Street

We come and look

In person, at the property. We will tell you honestly whether it is right for the portfolio, and if it is not, we will tell you why.

Pool and deck at Wanda, Suffolk Park

A plan and a number

Presentation, positioning, rates and a realistic view of what the home should return. No inflated projections to win the listing.

Kitchen and living space in a managed residence

We get it ready

Styling, photography, listing build, pricing calendar and the concierge offering set up around how the house actually lives.

Kitchen under the beams

Guests, and then quiet

From here it runs. You get the reporting, the income and a house that is being looked after. The rest is ours.

Who you deal with

The three
of us
