welcome to HostConnect
More bookings. Better prices. None of the tech headache.
Whether you host one special place or manage a growing portfolio, we set up the systems that quietly do the heavy lifting. Your calendars stay in sync, your pricing keeps pace with demand, and you stay in full control. You focus on your guests. We look after the tech.
I host my own place
One property or a handful. You love hosting. You just want it earning more, without the headache.

Built by Kiwi operators
We're hosts who got tired of stitching tools together, so we built the system we wished we had, and we run our own places on it every single day.

Who it's for
Two kinds of operators, one properly set-up system
You're already good at this. You shouldn't have to become a tech expert on top of everything else. Find the path that sounds like you.
For self-managing hosts
Keep your place. Keep your profit.
We get you onto every channel, switch on smart pricing, and bring every guest message into one place, so the admin stops eating your evenings.
- Listed across all the major platforms, not just Airbnb
- Pricing that moves with demand instead of sitting still
- Every guest message, from every channel, in one inbox
- Your accounts and reviews stay in your name, always
$215 + GST per month. Flat fee, no cut of your revenue
For boutique property managers
The tech layer behind your business.
Every property connected across channels, dynamic pricing dialled in, messaging configured, so you can focus on owners, guests and growth.
- Every property connected and synced across all channels
- Dynamic pricing run hands-on, or handed to your team
- One reliable setup instead of patchy, scattered tools
Custom pricing, by application, tailored to your portfolio
Just starting out? We also offer a mentoring package for new and start-up property managers: systems, pricing and channels set up right from day one.

What we do
The quiet engine behind better‑performing properties
Most owners aren't leaving money on the table because of their property. It's how the systems behind it are set up. We sort that out, end to end, in plain English, and you stay in control.
i.
Every channel, connected
Your property listed and synced across all the major booking platforms, with the quirks of each one handled for you.
All your calendars talk to each other, so you never get a double booking.
ii.
Pricing that keeps pace
Your nightly rates adjust automatically to demand, season and local events.
Like Uber surge pricing, working quietly in your favour, every night.
iii.
Messaging, in one place
Replies drafted with your property details built in, and every guest message from every channel in a single inbox.
You stay in the loop and approve what goes out. The system does the typing.
Your reach, widened
One listing. The whole world looking.
List across Booking.com, Vrbo and Bookabach alongside Airbnb, and your New Zealand place reaches Expedia, Agoda and travellers worldwide. We get you onto all of them properly, including a direct booking site, and save you juggling half a dozen logins.
How it works
Three steps, and the tech is off your plate
No homework, no jargon. We do the heavy lifting and keep it running, so you can get back to the parts you enjoy.
A quick chat
We get to know your property or portfolio and what you'd like to improve. No obligation, no pressure.
We set it all up
Channels connected, pricing live, messaging and direct bookings sorted. You don't touch the technical side.
You focus on guests
You look after the welcome and the turnovers while we keep your pricing sharp and your systems current.
"I came to HostConnect drowning in tools that didn't talk to each other. They sorted the lot, got my pricing actually working, and now I spend my time on owners and guests instead of fighting software."
Behind HostConnect
Two Kiwi operators who run their own places on this
We didn't come at this from software. We built and ran our own holiday homes and management businesses first, then built the system we wished we'd had.
Michael Hendra
Sales & hospitality
14+ years in New Zealand property management. Built and sold one of the largest management businesses in the Taupō region, and runs his own holiday homes today, lifting one from $110k to $130k gross after adding a second channel.
David Roberts
Tech, marketing & systems
20+ years in e-commerce and digital marketing, and owner of a high-performing Taupō holiday home with a second under way in Papamoa. Leads all the technology, automation and systems setup: the engine room behind every HostConnect build.
