Design Touches That Drive Bookings

Great design transforms a stay into an experience. Here's what today's guests are looking for:

• Big windows that bring the outdoors in
• Natural materials like timber, linen, and stone
• Layered lighting for cosy, ambient evenings
• Multi-use furniture to make small spaces feel spacious
• Outdoor details like hot tubs, fire pits, or a private deck

Please keep it simple. Make it beautiful. Let nature do the talking.

Guest Experience Essentials

To earn five-star reviews and repeat guests, don't miss these:

• Fully stocked toiletries (shampoo, soap, etc.)
• Coffee, tea & sugar topped up before each stay
• Working internet and TV setup
• Matching bedside lamps for balance and comfort
• Fresh, clean linens and unstained protectors
• Curtains or blinds in good working order
• Outdoor areas clean, swept, and weed-free

Final Tip: Guests Don't Just Book a Stay — They Book a Story

Every detail counts. The more intentional you are with the setup, the stronger your guest connection — and the more memorable their experience becomes.
