Always dreamt about offering luxury accommodation at your vineyard or rural property but don’t know where to start?
Look no further!
With a bachelor’s in hospitality management from Hotel Management School Maastricht, Maurits & Anneloes have 25+ years of international experience in hotel management and marketing. Originally from the Netherlands, we worked and lived in France, Sweden, Costa Rica, Ghana (West Africa), Mexico, Belgium and Australia (since 2010). We will help you attract guests to your glamping business by marketing your glamping site and making available a booking site to prospective glampers.
1. We know tourism
You might not be familiar with hospitality. But we are! We are happy to assist you from A-Z with the fit-out of your glamping tent from beds to Dutch bathtub and firewood BBQ. We share our tips & tricks on what really sets you apart from your competition. Did we mention your business plan? This is no rocket science. We have been there and are happy to share our expertise to create a comprehensive yet concise plan for your glamping business.
2. We offer a total service solution so you can concentrate on managing your business
We understand that your focus is on your winery or farm and that you are looking for a side income with as little fuss as possible. So, we assist you with your council approval. We have the contacts to help you get through the red tape with your planning approval based on your specific location: driveway access, wastewater, power, fire regulations etc.
We work with an experienced landscaper who knows what needs to be done to ensure your glamping tents fit well in their environment. And did we mention Ridge Building Group? They will build you a deck that will last at least as long as the Ferrari-manufactured outer tent (15+ years and still standing!)
3. We can help you to get finance
Even better news is that you don’t need to look for a loan or use your savings– Lodges Australia offers excellent lease options.
4. We can take the management of the reservations out of your hands
The Lodges Australia website will become the booking portal for all reservations made around the country And no, we don’t charge the usual 25% commission, you just compensate us for our work with 10% on the nightly rate. You will not pay the high fees of online travel agents ;ole Air-BNB or Booking.com and keep more profits for yourself.
5. We provide a better return on investment
Because we offer a high-end quality product with smart marketing, we will get your guests to book directly via the Lodges Australia website. Our European TÜV certified Crossover Lodge is of premium quality and has an in-principle building approval for Australia. We realize that we are not selling hot cross buns here. An investment in a Crossover Lodge is a serious commitment. Good news is that with a predicted occupancy of over 70% (and believe us, considering the lower end) and the enormous potential of glamping, you will do better than that and you will break even within two years.
We leave the fun part to you. There’s nothing like welcoming your first guests and contributing to an unforgettable experience
Sounds like a plan? Please say hello!
