South African short-term rental management

Keep the property.
Lose the workload.

We take care of the conversations, rates, turnovers and booking channels that keep a rental running. You stay informed without being on call for every detail.

Talk about your property

For individual owners and growing portfolios in South Africa.

The work behind the stay

Good hosting is a hundred small decisions made well.

A guest asks about parking after hours. A cleaner needs a new access code. A public holiday changes what a night is worth. None of these tasks is difficult on its own. Together, they become another job.

EAV brings them into one operating rhythm: clear responsibilities, reliable handovers and a view of how your property is performing.

What we handle

From listing to last checkout.

Start with the part you need help with, or have us coordinate the whole stay. Each service has a defined job.

A useful starting point

Put your current numbers on the table.

Set your current nightly rate, occupancy and number of properties. The scenario models an 18% rate increase and eight additional occupancy points, capped at 88%.

It is a planning example, not a forecast. Your audit can test the assumptions against your market and costs.

How it starts

First we learn the property.

No two listings have the same calendar or guest questions. The first conversation establishes what is working and where attention is needed.

Audit

Review your listing, rates and operational gaps on a 30-minute call.

02

Scope

Select individual services or a package with a clear proposal.

03

Onboard

Share property details, house rules, channel access and cleaning requirements securely.

04

Operate

We set up the agreed workflows and report back on performance.

CorporateStay

A longer booking has different requirements.

Project teams and travelling staff need furnished accommodation with reliable administration. We help prepare suitable properties for corporate enquiries, coordinate bookings and manage the placement process.

What readiness covers

  • Property suitability and guest information
  • Clear power and amenity details
  • Invoicing requirements and booking process
  • One point of contact for enquiries
