  • Our cleaning service is designed to deliver a consistently high standard of presentation for every stay.

    What’s Included

    Full Turnover Clean
    A complete reset of the property after every guest, covering kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, floors, high-touch surfaces, rubbish removal and a light outdoor tidy.

    Hotel-Style Presentation
    Beds made neatly, linen refreshed, towels placed with intention, and each space prepared for a polished guest arrival.

    Professional, Consistent Standards
    We use our own trusted cleaners only. This ensures aligned expectations, consistent presentation and clear communication. No external cleaners or variations in standards.

    Any damage, excess mess or concerns identified during cleaning are photographed and reported immediately so you’re always informed.

    Post-Clean Photo Updates
    After each turnover, you receive photos confirming the property’s presentation and cleanliness, along with any notes requiring attention.

    Your Personalised Cleaning Checklist

    Every home has its own rhythm and requirements.
    During onboarding, we build a customised cleaning and restock checklist with you, ensuring the property is presented exactly the way you expect, every time.

    Your checklist may include:
    • Bed-making preferences for each room
    • Linen requirements and styling notes
    • Restock expectations for each space (toiletries, pantry basics, household items, amenities)
    • Styling or presentation preferences
    • Outdoor and entryway expectations
    • Waste and recycling instructions
    • Any quirks, details or non-negotiables unique to your home

    This checklist is used by every cleaner and manager so your standard remains consistent across all stays.

    Pricing

    $60 per cleaner, per hour.
    Transparent, straightforward and invoiced per booking.
    Larger or more detailed properties may require additional time.

    Platform Cleaning Fees (How It Works)

    Airbnb
    Hosts can set a cleaning fee. This appears in the booking total and is paid by the guest. Airbnb includes this amount in your payout.

    VRBO
    Also allows cleaning fees. These show clearly as part of the booking breakdown.

    Booking.com
    Does not offer a dedicated cleaning fee field.
    Cleaning is added as an extra charge so guests are aware before their stay.

    This ensures cleaning costs are covered and expectations are clear across all platforms.

    Optional Extras

    • Seasonal or quarterly deep cleans
    • Mid-stay refresh cleans for longer bookings
    • Pre-listing or post-renovation cleans
    • Light outdoor and garden tidying
    Special occasion setups ; birthdays, anniversaries, surprises, welcome touches or themed arrangements (quoted on request)

  • Why Linen Is Essential With Our Cleaning Service

    For us to deliver consistent, hotel-level presentation and smooth turnovers, linen must be managed through a unified system.
    Without a structured linen process, turnovers are at risk of delays, shortages, mismatched items, or last-minute washing all of which directly impact guest satisfaction and reviews.

    By keeping cleaning and linen aligned, we ensure every stay is reset to the same standard, with no interruptions, no guesswork, and no operational hiccups.


    Hire Linen

    If you choose hire linen, we set up your linen hire account for you. Hire linen is supplied, washed professionally off-site, and kept in rotation for your property.
    Linen is invoiced monthly, and we handle all communication and coordination on your behalf.

    Owner Linen

    If you prefer to supply your own linen, it is processed through the same commercial system.
    All washing and rotation is handled for you, and your linen is invoiced monthly as part of the service.

    Minimum Linen Requirements

    Every property must have a minimum of three complete sets of linen:

    - One set being processed
    – One set in use
    – One set clean and ready

    This prevents delays, keeps turnovers running on time, and ensures a consistent level of presentation for every guest.

    Linen Bags

    Each property is issued dedicated linen bags to keep the system organised. These will appear on your first monthly linen invoice.


  • Pricing depends on whether you choose hire linen or supply your own, as well as the size and setup of your property.
    Upon enquiry, we’ll provide a tailored breakdown specific to your home.
    The linen service is invoiced monthly, and we do not add fees or take a cut you receive the wholesale, direct rate.

  • Yes, all properties must use the linen system to keep turnovers smooth, reliable and consistent.
    You’re welcome to supply your own linen, but it must be washed and rotated through the same commercial process so the property is always presented to the same standard.

  • No. We work exclusively with cleaners who are hand-selected and trained to our standards.
    This ensures every turnover meets the same level of detail, timing and presentation.
    Using external cleaners introduces inconsistencies that affect operations, guest experience and reviews our system is designed to avoid these issues entirely.

  • Every property is different. The checklist ensures your home is cleaned, restocked, and presented exactly the way you want it.
    It includes bed-making style, linen requirements, presentation notes, outdoor areas and any unique details keeping standards consistent across every stay and every cleaner.

FAQ


  • We’re Amanda and Oliver a young family based in Agnes Water, building a co-hosting and short-term rental management business grounded in real experience, not theory.

    Three years ago, we purchased, renovated and launched our very first Airbnb, managing every part of it ourselves from setup and pricing to guest experience and day-to-day operations. Seeing that property perform successfully fuelled our passion for short-stay accommodation and showed us just how powerful thoughtful, consistent management can be.

    That experience shaped the way we operate today.

    After relocating to Agnes Water and launching our own properties here, we extended that knowledge into co-hosting offering other owners the same systems, care and attention that helped our own stays succeed.

    We believe every guest should feel like they’re the first. Not rushed through a process or treated like a booking number, but genuinely welcomed, supported and looked after. We also understand that busy day-to-day lives don’t always allow owners to offer that level of care consistently and that’s where we come in.

    Short-term rental performance is driven by reviews. When guests are well cared for and their experience is handled properly, listings build stronger visibility, trust and momentum. By taking full responsibility for guest communication and support, we protect that experience at every stage allowing listings to perform consistently and owners to benefit from stronger long-term results.

    Together, we make sure every moving part works in sync. From cleaning and linen to restocking, maintenance and guest arrival, nothing is treated in isolation. Each stay is carefully coordinated so the property is presented at its best, guests walk into a home that feels prepared and cared for, and owners can trust that everything is running smoothly behind the scenes without needing to check, chase or manage anything themselves.

    We run this business as a family, with determination, dedication and pride in what we’re building. We don’t overextend, we don’t cut corners, and we don’t take on properties we can’t fully support.

    This isn’t just a service to us. It’s something we’ve built with intention, long nights, big dreams and a lot of heart. We genuinely want the owners we work with to succeed to build something strong, sustainable and rewarding through their property, just as we have.

    We’re invested in the long term for our guests, our owners and the life we’re building side by side. And that commitment shows in every booking, every detail and every stay.

In-person co-host support is available in Agnes Water, 1770, Round Hill and Captain Creek, with intention to expand.
