What’s included.

Listings & pricing

Listing copy, presentation, pricing and availability management. The property management system and channel manager are included, with no extra Staywright fee simply for adding another channel.

Guest communication

Arrival information, guest questions and help with issues during a stay. Practical hosting from the first message to check-out.

Property coordination

Cleaning and linen coordination, routine maintenance coordination and ordinary body corporate liaison relating to short stays. Supplier costs are separate.

Everyday essentials

Normal-use toiletries, three-ply toilet paper, kitchen and cleaning consumables, tea, instant coffee and pantry basics. A welcome card and two Ferrero Rocher chocolates.

Owner visibility

An owner portal to see bookings and reporting, with someone you can speak to about the property and decisions that need your attention.

Practical support

Routine help with power and internet issues when you authorise us to speak to the provider. You hold the accounts and pay the bills unless otherwise agreed.

Property costs, kept clear.

We coordinate the work. The property’s operating costs remain yours.

  • Cleaning, laundry and linen hire
  • Linen purchase and replacement
  • Electricity, broadband and other utilities
  • Repairs, maintenance and replacement items
  • Furniture, styling and substantial setup work
  • Booking channel and payment processing charges

Rates, insurance, body corporate fees and finance costs also remain the owner’s responsibility. Separate work and spending approvals are agreed in advance.

Two ways to set up.

Choose who holds the platform accounts and listings. We explain what each option means for access, administration and a future handover.

Staywright-held listings

$600 + GST / one-off

We set up and hold the listings. A simpler route for owners who prefer us to handle the platform administration.

Owner-held listings

$1,000 + GST / one-off

You hold the accounts and listings. We help with the additional setup and arrange the management access each platform supports.

Both include listing setup and the standard photography allowance. Platform rules affect access, payouts and handover options. Furnishing and substantial preparation are separately scoped.

A few useful answers.

Do I need to know how Airbnb works?

No. We guide you through the decisions and handle ongoing administration. Owner-held listings include assisted onboarding to establish accounts and management access.

Can I use my property myself?

Yes, owner use can be planned into availability. Tell us your intended dates early so they can be considered alongside existing reservations and the agreed booking arrangements.

Is cleaning included in the 20%?

Cleaning coordination is included. The cleaner’s charge, laundry and linen costs are separately funded; your proposal explains how the property’s costs are handled.

Can rental income be paid to me?

We can discuss owner-direct payouts where your chosen platform and account setup support them. Platform payment timing still applies, and the agreed management fees are invoiced separately where that arrangement is used.

What properties do you take on?

Suitable Christchurch properties whose owners are willing to fund a comfortable, well-prepared stay and ongoing upkeep. We assess the fit before agreeing to manage a property.

What are the agreement and notice terms?

Your proposal and management agreement set out the applicable term, notice, responsibilities and handling of existing bookings. We discuss these before you commit.
