Why Owners Come To Us …
🌿 We Stay Deliberately Small & Personal
We limit the number of villas we look after. This allows us to give our owners and their villas the bespoke, personal service they want and deserve,
🏡 We Think Like Villa Owners
We own villas ourselves, so every recommendation is made from an owner’s perspective—protecting & maintaining your asset, controlling costs, operating legally and maximising long-term returns.
🤝 We Work Exclusively With You
We work with you exclusively, and don’t use other agents. So we speak to every guest before they arrive, and as we control every listing for your villa, we can quickly adjust pricing or update information whenever circumstances change.
🤝 We Focus on the Long-Term
Most of our villa owners have been with us for many years. We develop a deep understanding of every villa we look after, and help owners optimise rental returns by recommending changes to facilities and services specific to their villa.
🌐 Your Villa, Your Brand
We build an entire brand for your villa including its website, logo, professional photography, videos and social media accounts. We want you to stay because you love our service, not because you’re trapped, so if you ever decide to leave, all intellectual property we created is 100% yours to keep.
✔ Honest Advice, Even If It Means Saying No
We only take on villas where we genuinely believe we can add value. If we don’t think we’re the right partner, we’ll tell you and suggest what we believe would work better for you,
We will be a good fit for you if...
- Your villa is personal to you, rather than just an investment designed to generate returns.
- You care that your villa is well looked after and that staff and guests have a great experience.
- You want to operate your villa legally and are concerned about how recent legislative changes may affect you.
- Your villa is struggling to get bookings / achieve rate expectations, and you want a fresh approach focused specifically on your villa.
- You are struggling with maintenance, staffing or other day-to-day management issues and need experienced, professional assistance.
- You are building a villa and want valuable advice on how to optimise it for short term rental during development.
Your villa is likely to be a good fit if it is:
- A unique, stand-alone villa located in a permitted zone for short-term villa rental in Bali.
- 3+ bedrooms (or a luxury 2 bedroom villa in premium location)
- Available to be rented out consistently at least 9 months every year
- A villa where dedicated, properly trained staff are an essential part of the guest experience.
We are probably not a good fit for you if …
- You are looking for the cheapest possible marketing / management service
- Your villa is one of a complex of similar villas, or is a complex of similar villas.
- You wish to market your villa yourself, and are only looking for management support
- You want to work with multiple agents, rather than working exclusively with one company.
- You are not the direct owner, but a developer or agent.
Our Services for you
📣 Marketing Your Villa
We don’t simply list your villa on booking sites. We build and actively manage its brand.
We market your villa, not ourselves as a company. We create a dedicated website, professional photography, videos and social media for your villa. Our Sales team regularly visits and inspects every villa, so we can accurately represent what your villa offers, keep our information up to date, and identify issues before guests do. Our systems allow us to manage listings across multiple booking platforms, helping us avoid double bookings and inconsistent information. We continually compare your villa with its direct competitors and adjust rates, discounts and what is included to maximise its performance.
🏡 Managing Your Villa
We manage your villa with the same care and attention we give our own.
We provide detailed monthly reports on your villa’s performance, including a full Profit & Loss statement and Balance Sheet, giving you a clear picture of your villa’s financial performance and providing useful records for your accounting and tax needs.
We don’t manage your villa from behind a desk. Our team regularly visits every villa, checks that everything is working properly, spends time with the staff, and makes sure the villa is being looked after to the standard we expect. When repairs or replacements are needed, we use trusted suppliers and obtain multiple competitive quotes for significant works. Each owner sets their own spending authority, so we can deal with routine issues quickly while seeking approval for larger expenses. We schedule work carefully to minimise the number of dates blocked for guest bookings.
🏡 Staffing Your Villa
We help you build and maintain a professional team for your villa.
Employing staff legally in Indonesia is complicated, with many legal obligations and potential pitfalls for the unwary. For new villas, we recruit, interview and establish the team for your villa. For existing staff, we provide structured performance guidelines and regular training, and help ensure that all employment obligations are properly managed.
Straightforward, Transparent Fees
No unexpected commisions, Zero maintenance markups, and explicit spending limits.
