Websites like Airbnb have revolutionised the tourism industry. No longer must the casual traveller book hotels and motels for one-night or short-term stays. Instead, a whole society of homeowners rent out their whole house, or just a room, for hospitable stays. One might imagine in order for you to become an Airbnb host you need a gigantic house, pool, spa or some other calling card to attract guests. Although this helps, it isn’t the case. More and more people are looking for cheap stays that are in locations where hotels and motels aren’t.
How do I become a host?
Sign up and enter the basic details of your property; where is it located, what type of property is it, how many bedrooms and bathrooms and will guests receive the whole house or simply a room/section? Next, you take flattering photos of the house to help guests decide if it’s for them. Then you’ll want to add a helpful listing title and description, considering what makes your place unique. You can set controls, such as what dates it is available, what house rules you have and whether guests’ furry friends or welcome or not.
It’s a good way to bring in a nice slice of additional income throughout the year and a way to show off your residential town to travelling Kiwis. Although that sounds tempting, some of us just don’t believe we have the space to offer as a place to stay. But we may just have the solution for you.
