We’re Auckland-based and selective for a reason: fewer homes means more attention on pricing, bookings, and guest experience, all of which drive stronger performance and higher payouts for you.

What makes Homello different

Proven strategy, powered by experience
Before starting Homello, our Kiwi founder managed performance strategy at one of the top short-term rental startups in the US, overseeing thousands of listings and millions in bookings. That same data-driven approach now powers the strategy behind your home.
We focus on the guest experience
With thoughtful touches like welcome kits and local guides, we create stays guests remember and review. Five-star ratings improve your ranking, attract quality guests, and allow for higher nightly rates.
Built on relationships that give you an edge
Our founder’s relationships with Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, and other major platforms keep us ahead of trends and algorithm changes, so we always know how to get your home seen, booked, and earning more.
Focused management, better results
We manage a small number of homes, so each one gets the attention it deserves. With fewer properties to look after, we’re able to focus on performance, making sure your home is earning at its full potential.
Direct access and personal support
When you partner with Homello, you’ll work directly with our founder. There’s no offshore team, account manager or AI chatbot, just a familiar point of contact who knows your home and your goals.

Who’s behind Homello

Hi, I’m Thomas.
I spent years overseas managing short-term rental performance at one of the industry’s largest companies, working directly with platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO to maximise revenue.
I founded Homello to bring that expertise home and help Auckland homeowners earn more, attract better guests, and keep their calendars full.
