What makes the cohosting different

Boutique means quality over quantity: a small number of homes, each handled with the same urgency and thoughtfulness its owner would give it. Here is everything that covers.

Guest vetting with intention

Every guest is carefully screened: reviews, communication, and behaviour history reviewed before a booking is accepted.

Calendar and pricing optimisation

Rates set against season, demand, and local events, with minimum stay rules that protect the home.

Guest messaging and in stay support

Every enquiry, from first message to check out, answered promptly and in the voice of a well run home, day or night.

Cleaning and turnover coordination

Trusted cleaners held to a consistent standard, with a walkthrough before every turnover.

Maintenance and safety checks

Minor repairs handled quietly, routine safety checks logged, and larger work quoted before anything happens.

Owner reporting

Regular summaries covering occupancy, rate performance, guest feedback, and anything the home needs next.

Sunlit period living room with a sculptural coffee table and a chrome dome lamp

One point of contact, from check in to check out.

Amber blown glass pendant lamp over a marble dining table, with a styled bookshelf behind

Personal, not mass market

Joanne cohosts a small number of South African apartments herself, with the same hands on approach she brings to her own Airbnb in Sea Point, Cape Town. Unlike large management companies, she takes on few enough properties that each one gets her full attention.

Portrait of Joanne Vermeulen smiling outdoors at golden hour

Joanne Vermeulen

“I run every apartment in my care the same hands on way I run my own Airbnb here in Sea Point: personally, and without cutting corners. I keep the portfolio small on purpose, so every guest message and every owner update still comes from me.”

How partnering works

One agreement, full transparency: we manage the listing, the guests, and the turnovers, and we earn a share only when your property does.

01

Commission based, always

We earn an agreed percentage of the net income from every booking we manage. If your apartment does not book, we do not earn.

02

Everything in writing

Before we take on a new listing, it is put in writing. Every property is covered by a signed cohosting agreement setting out fees, responsibilities, and reporting.

03

Paid out monthly

You get a full breakdown of bookings, fees, and net payout every month, so you always know exactly where your income stands.

The details that lift a listing

Optional extras owners can add on top of everyday cohosting, for a more polished guest experience and a stronger listing.

  • Professional photography & listing optimisation
  • Interior styling consultation
  • Guest welcome packs & digital guidebooks
  • Local vendor & service coordination
  • Insurance and compliance support
Styled entryway with a curved mirror, layered pendant lighting, and a console dressed with branches and sculptural objects
