We believe booking holiday stays should be simple, transparent, and fee-free. Built by Australians, for Australians.
The big platforms take a hefty cut from every booking — up to 20% in combined host and guest fees. That means higher prices for travellers and less revenue for the people who actually manage the properties. We started StayHereMate to change that.
Our platform connects travellers directly with professional property managers across Australia. No booking fees for guests. No commission for hosts. Just a simple, flat-rate subscription that lets property managers keep 100% of their booking revenue.
