If you have ever wondered how to create a brand new Airbnb experience your guests will rave about, read on!Most guests book one or two bedroom Airbnbs, so start by choosing the right size. Then it’s about providing a wonderful experience that will leave your guests raving to their friends. Consider the context your Airbnb is in – your site location and its great aspects, then complement your property with the right style of home. For example, if you live in a forest setting you may choose the Bush Hut or a calming Japanese Zen house. If you want to provide a more classic experience you may choose a Hamptons style for its elegance and dollhouse appearance. The Hamptons is also great in a beachside location, or inner city sophistication.
Consider adding a cedar hot tub for your guests to relax in. Add some beautiful potted plants and perhaps a vertical garden. The vertical garden could surround the hot tub, providing a tranquil private setting.
Consider the perfect colour scheme that will resonate with the personality of your home and location. Calming beachy whites and creams, earthy tones of browns and greens, bold tones of contrasting blacks and whites for a more contemporary feel.
Style the whole Funky Little Shack so it all blends together perfectly. Carry a secondary colour from your pillows to a throw and some art work. Furnish the home with interesting books and creative art pieces, while still having the mod-cons of cable television, wi-fi, coffee plungers and electric juicers. It’s so important to style your Airbnb well to achieve 5 star reviews. We can put you in touch with great furniture pack specialists, and of course all of our Funky Little Shacks are styled with great taste from the get go!
If you wanted to appeal to “greenies” you could include an eco pack, and then market your Airbnb listing accordingly. We have solar power, water tanks and even battery storage for your solar.
Here are our top tips on operating your Airbnb:
- Consider having your Funky Little Shack professionally managed by an Airbnb host
- Provide little extras that will make your guests rave about you – how about a bottle of wine!
- Communicate with your guests to make sure they know where to find everything, and don’t forget to check in to see they are happy upon arrival.
- Spend a couple of nights in the home yourself to check you have got everything you need for an amazing stay.
