The honest question

Is your holiday home earning what it should?

Most owners of holiday homes in Pāpāmoa and Mount Maunganui are leaving money on the table. Not because their home isn't wonderful, but because it isn't being presented, priced and distributed like the premium stay it is.

The Beach Breaks difference

Coastal-only focus

We specialise in coastal holiday homes across Pāpāmoa, Mount Maunganui and Tauranga. We know this market's guests, seasons and rates.

02

Boutique by design

Deliberately selective. Your home is one of a few, never one of hundreds.

Pricing that moves with demand

Dynamic nightly rates adjusted around seasons, events and demand, working quietly in your favour every night.

04

One listing, the whole world looking

Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Bookabach, perfectly synced. More eyes, zero double-bookings.

05

Presentation-first care

Styling, photography direction and cleaning standards that make your home stand out, and stay that way.

06

A direct booking pathway

We build repeat guests who book directly, reducing commission over time.

Owner questions

The answers owners ask for first.

What does Beach Breaks charge?

One simple, all-inclusive management fee of 20% of accommodation revenue. No setup fees, no hidden extras, no surprises.

What's included in the 20%?

Everything in our full-service list: listing creation and optimisation, dynamic pricing, all guest communication, cleaning and linen coordination, styling and photography direction, review generation, maintenance coordination and monthly owner reporting.

Is cleaning included?

Cleaning is coordinated by us and paid by the guest as a cleaning fee on each booking, so it doesn't come out of your revenue. We manage the cleaners, standards and scheduling end to end.

Which platforms will my home be listed on?

Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Bookabach, all perfectly synced through Host Connect, plus a direct booking pathway that grows repeat guests over time.

Can I still use my property myself?

Of course. Your home is still yours. Block out your own dates in the owner dashboard whenever you like; we simply work around them.

How do you handle guests?

We handle every message, from first enquiry to post-stay review, promptly and warmly in your name. Guests are screened, house rules are clear, and we are local if anything needs attention.

Can I switch from another manager?

Yes, owners switch to us often. We'll manage the transition carefully: honouring existing bookings, migrating your listings and reviews where possible, and making the handover seamless.

How do I get started?
