Beat the Booking Fees: The Holiday Home Guide to .au Domains
Transform your Airbnb or Stayz listing into a standalone brand and keep 100% of your booking revenue.
1. Build a Brand, Not Just a Listing
Platforms like Airbnb are great for discovery, but they own the customer. When a guest wants to re-book, they have to find you again on the platform. With a domain like www.bayviewcottage.au, you become a destination. It’s easier for guests to remember, share with friends, and find on Google.
2. Eliminate Commission Fees
Typical platforms take a significant cut from every night stayed. By driving traffic to your own website via a custom domain, you can offer guests a "direct booking discount" while still taking home more profit than you would on a major platform.
3. Local Trust with .au
Australian travelers look for the .au extension as a sign of local credibility. Whether it's a beach house in Sorrento or a cabin in the Blue Mountains, a .au domain signals that the property is locally managed and verified under Australian registration rules.
4. Professional Email for Guest Enquiries
Nothing says "professional host" like an email address that matches your property. Instead of a generic Gmail account, use stay@yourproperty.au to handle enquiries, send welcome packs, and manage check-ins.
