We're in the business of getting you out of theirs
BookDirect Studio is a boutique web studio built specifically for short-term rental hosts who are tired of handing 15–20% of every booking to Airbnb and Vrbo.
Help hosts own their bookings — and their business
Short-term rental hosts work incredibly hard to deliver great guest experiences. Yet for every booking that comes through an OTA, a substantial cut goes straight to the platform — not to you. Over a full year of bookings, those fees add up to thousands of dollars that could have stayed in your pocket.
We started BookDirect Studio because we believe hosts deserve a better path. A branded, direct-booking website gives guests a reason to book with you instead of through a marketplace — and gives you something the platforms never will: a direct relationship with the people who stay at your property.
When a guest books directly they share their email address, their preferences, and their trust — data that makes every future booking easier and cheaper to earn. That's the compounding advantage of going direct, and it's what we're here to help you build.
What we stand for
Four principles that shape every site we build and every decision we make.
Hosts first
Everything we design and build is optimised for one outcome: more direct bookings for your property. Your goals come first — always.
You own everything
Your site, your domain, your guest data. We hand you the keys and never hold your business hostage behind a subscription or proprietary platform.
Built to convert
Beautiful design alone won't fill your calendar. Every page, CTA, and booking flow is crafted to turn visitors into confirmed, fee-free reservations.
Honest pricing
One transparent build fee, no hidden monthly costs, no revenue share. What you earn stays with you — that's the whole point of going direct.
Simple process, real results

Launch & hand-over
You go live with full ownership of the site, your domain, and your guest data. We walk you through everything, and we're a message away if you need us.
