Pyika sets itself apart with our unwavering commitment to flexibility, performance, and transparency. We offer tailored service options that allow property owners to customise their involvement and control over their rentals, providing as much or as little hands-on management as they prefer.
A short-term rental has often a much higher income potential than a long term rental and is the best choice for anyone unsure about committing to a long term tenant. The earning potential of your property can also depend on its location and condition. To get an earning estimate for your property on Airbnb, you can refer to this page.
Yes! Short term rental offers great flexibility if you just want to make some extra income from your residential home while you are away on holiday, or when you are not using your holiday home. We simply make your property available for booking for the dates you want to host.
In the event of an emergency at your property, Pyika will be the primary point of contact for your guests. We will organise any urgent maintenance and can deal with Airbnb and/or emergency services to resolve any emergency to the extent allowable. We can also lodge damage claims with Airbnb on your behalf.
Payments from Airbnb normally process 24 hours after the guest has checked in, however your choice of payment method is also a factor. For the quickest returns, Pyika recommends choosing bank transfer, which takes an average of 3 business days to reflect in your bank account.
Payments from Booking.com works a bit differently: Pyika will manage payments on your behalf and you will receive your earnings once per month.
I manage a gym in Perth while owning an apartment in Cairns. I heard about this service through Airbnb and decided to give it a go. Now, my apartment has many bookings, and my income is higher than ever

I'm a retiree who struggled to get bookings for my property. I was recommended by a friend to work with Pyika and the service is amazing. Now I'm getting so many bookings! The extra income has made paying off my home loan so much easier. Highly recommended!

I spent a few months abroad and entrusted Pyika with my apartment to rent out on Airbnb. Their impeccable management not only ensured glowing reviews but also provided me with substantial extra income while I was on holiday!

Living in Sydney with an apartment in Canberra, we struggled to find long-term tenants for months. Turning to Pyika as a last resort, we reached out for help with setup and management. We couldn't be more thrilled with this success!

I split my time between the UK and my townhouse in Ashfield, NSW. Finding tenants who'd keep the place neat and take it furnished was tough. Now, thanks to Pyika, I rent it on Airbnb and enjoy high revenue and fantastic flexibility.
