Managing Multiple Rentals, Made Simple
Joseph Vella’s six-property Far View Holiday Homes portfolio in Venus Bay, Australia, faced a familiar challenge: paper-based guidebooks were cumbersome to update and inconsistent across properties, especially with frequent changes to local attractions and amenities.
Touch Stay and their Hostaway integration changed everything:
Since integrating Touch Stay with Hostaway, Joseph’s guest engagement has soared. In just a few months, guests viewed the digital guidebooks over 2,200 times, showing they rely on these resources for local recommendations and property details. More than 600 guests checked the guidebooks before arrival, which reduced repetitive questions and helped boost guest excitement.
Now, Joseph updates all six property guides at once, saving time and ensuring every guest always has the most current information.
