Curated short-stay properties
crafted for those who appreciate
the art of arriving somewhere beautiful
DoveStays was born from a belief that short-term accommodation should feel like a personal retreat, not a transaction. We're starting with a single home — one we know inside and out — and growing slowly, only adding properties we'd be proud to call our own.
We care about the details — the softness of the linen, the morning light through your window, the coffee ready to brew. Because we know that when a space truly welcomes you, everything else falls into place.
We're actively looking for our first homes. Here's what partnering with DoveStays looks like for you as the owner — designed to be more rewarding, and less work, than a traditional long-term lease.
You receive your full asking rent, paid on time every month — no chasing, no arrears, no vacancy gaps between tenants. One agreement, one reliable income stream that doesn't waver. For a landlord who values certainty, it's the arrangement most tenancies simply can't offer.
A professional clean after every single guest, minor maintenance handled before it becomes a problem, and a property that stays in better condition than any long-term tenancy ever would.
Every check-in, check-out, guest question, cleaning roster and minor repair is handled entirely by us. You collect rent and do nothing else. No late-night calls, no chasing tradies, no inbox to manage — it's genuinely hands-off.
When the lease ends, we don't leave — we renew. No re-letting process, no agent re-leasing fees, no empty weeks while you find someone new. The income just keeps going, year after year, on the same predictable terms.
Every guest goes through our own vetting process before they ever set foot in the property. On top of that, they're identity-verified through Airbnb, covered by AirCover's $3 million damage protection, and accountable through a public review system that affects every booking they make.
Whether it's sitting vacant, coming off a long-term lease, or you're simply exploring your options — we're happy to have a chat to see where things could go.

Become a Host PartnerAirbnb has its own AirCover protection that covers up to $3 million in property damage. We also carry our own insurance on top of that. In practice, damage from Airbnb guests is significantly less common than standard tenants — guests are accountable through the platform, their identity is verified, and they leave reviews that affect their ability to book in future. The accountability structure is actually much stronger than a traditional lease.
The owner still gets a guaranteed long-term lease and consistent rent — same as a standard tenant, but often at the asking price with no vacancy. We take on all day-to-day management, and the property is cleaned professionally after every single guest. Most owners end up preferring it once they understand how it works.
Every guest checkout triggers a professional clean — linen changed, surfaces wiped, bathrooms scrubbed, kitchen reset. Your property is inspected and refreshed more frequently than it ever would be under a standard long-term tenancy. You're not just getting a tenant — you're getting a property that's actively maintained on a near-daily basis.
Yes. We sign a standard residential lease directly with you — the same paperwork you'd use with any tenant. There's nothing unusual or risky about the agreement from your side. You have the same legal protections you'd have with any other tenant, and we honour every term.
