Rooted in the Kouga Community

AnchorStays was founded on values of honesty, service, and stewardship. As a locally-owned business, we believe in treating people fairly, communicating openly, and managing each property with care and integrity.

​

From listing optimisation to review management, we help property owners professionally manage and optimise their Airbnb and Booking.com listings through thoughtful presentation, guest communication, pricing guidance, and with hands-on local support.

 

Our approach is built on trust and transparency. We never hold owner funds, there are no upfront costs or hidden fees, and we believe long-term relationships matter more than short-term gains.

​

We are proud to support property owners across Jeffreys Bay, St Francis Bay, Cape St Francis, Paradise Beach, and the wider Kouga area with a genuine understanding of the region, its guests, and its community.

Common Questions

How are bookings, payouts, and co-hosting managed?

We use NightsBridge as our central channel management system to synchronise calendars, rates, availability, and reservations across Airbnb, Booking.com, and LekkeSlaap for efficient day-to-day management.

​

On Airbnb, we operate through the platform’s co-hosting system, allowing owners to remain the primary account holders while we manage the listing and bookings on their behalf. For Booking.com and LekkeSlaap, booking payouts are made directly to the property owner, with AnchorStays invoicing its management commission monthly.

​

This structure provides owners with transparency, payout control, and a low-risk management approach.

What is the commission structure?

We charge a simple 15% management commission on confirmed bookings. There are no upfront costs or hidden fees, and pay-outs go directly to you.

What channels do you manage?

We provide full-service management for Airbnb, LekkeSlaap, and Booking.com, handling reservations, guest communication, calendar management, and dynamic pricing guidance. We actively monitor and manage listing performance and provide reporting, and feedback aimed at improving visibility, guest experience, and quality occupancy.”

Are there any hidden listing management fees?

No. We work on a simple, transparent 15% commission structure with no hidden fees or upfront costs. All Airbnb, LekkeSlaap and Booking.com pay-outs go directly to you, and professional photography and listing optimisation are included as part of our management service.
