What sets Homello apart

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.
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.

Who’s behind Homello

Hi, I’m Thomas.
Born and raised in Auckland, I spent years overseas leading short-term rental performance for one of the industry’s top companies, working directly with Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO to maximise revenue.
I started Homello to bring that expertise home - helping Auckland homeowners earn more, attract great guests, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with local, hands-on care.
