Revenue reviewRevenue management for glamping, cabins and micro-resorts:Price every night as the escape it is.
For glamping sites, eco cabins, tiny houses, lodges and micro-resorts of 2 to 20 units, often a long drive from anywhere. You sell a few nights at a high rate, so one empty Tuesday costs more than a motel's, and the channel that fills you takes a cut and sets the terms. We build a rate calendar on your region's demand, make your own site and Google the easiest place to book, and keep Airbnb as one channel rather than the whole business, on a plan sized for a small stay.
What owners tell us, and what we do
"Every empty night is a big number."
At your rate, a night unsold is a real loss and a night discounted by a hundred dollars is nearly as bad. We price each night from what your region does on that date (school holidays, long weekends, the festival two towns over) and from what's on your books, with a floor you set and a ceiling the market sets.
"We don't know what a Tuesday in July should cost."
Neither does anyone pricing from gut feel. We build a 12-month calendar by season, day of week and event, with two-night minimums where they earn more and single nights where they fill a gap, and we move it as the books fill. You see the reasoning, not just the number.
"Airbnb takes a cut and sets the terms."
Airbnb is a good channel and a bad landlord. We fix your Airbnb and Booking.com listings so they rank, then make your own website, your Google Business Profile and free Google hotel links the cheapest place to book, with packages (two nights, a hamper, the hot tub) that only exist direct. The share booked direct rises, and the report shows what it saved.
The offer for small stays
Revenue setup + check-in. A one-off setup: the rate calendar loaded into your booking system, your unit types and price gaps, Airbnb and Booking.com listings fixed, your direct booking path checked from Google to the book button, a one-page plan. Then a monthly check-in: rate recommendations from your own numbers, event and demand alerts, a 30-minute call, a one-page report. Multi-site operators and larger resorts: Tier 1 or Tier 2.

What small-stay owners ask us
Is there a minimum size?
Two units. Below that, the revenue review will tell you whether the setup pays for itself, and we'll say so if it doesn't.
We close for part of the year. Does the plan still work?
Yes. The calendar covers the months you're open, and the check-in pauses while you're closed. Pricing the shoulder weeks before and after a closure is usually where the money is.
Airbnb or Booking.com for cabins?
Both, built differently. Airbnb guests search by place and photos; Booking.com guests search by dates and price. Each listing is written for how its guests look, rates stay in parity, and your own site stays the cheapest.
How do you price a two-night minimum?
From the data. Weekends and holiday periods hold a two-night minimum at a rate that beats two single nights; midweek opens to single nights at a lower rate to fill gaps. The rule changes by season and we review it each month.
Which booking systems do you work in?
The booking systems and channel managers small stays run in Australia. We work with our own login and just connect our systems to yours.
