Introducing HolidayHoliday

A makeover for your most important home

HolidayHoliday is for holiday homeowners // aspiring rental owners // and hosts looking to stand out.

Holidays are precious. Let’s make sure you – and your guests – spend them in a precious place.

If you are a holiday home owner I work with you to align the feel, and function of your home to your ultimate holiday desires.

If you own a holiday rental I work with you to develop the story of your dwelling and then provide guidance for how to tell that story through every touchpoint of your guests’ experience.

If your holiday home is for both you and paying guests I help with a plan that balances the needs of all users.

HolidayHoliday uses the proven power of storytelling to turn your guests into raving fans

– wether those guests are you, your friends, family or paying clients.

HolidayHoliday helps you to forge an unforgettable emotional connection with your audience. This results in you having more easeful holidays and your guests experiencing, loving and treating the place like it's their own – resulting in less wear and tear – and – if your holiday is a rental, higher occupancy and financial return.

“We learned buckets from Kate's stay-over. As seasoned hosts we thought we knew it all, but Kate has a unique perspective and extensive knowledge that she generously and enthusiastically shares. Her report was practical and aspirational, with easy, do-able actions. Having her stay ‘in’ the space was invaluable. She shifted things around and captured our story in her photos. We now have a long-term vision we would never have considered without her fresh eyes”.

––– Basia & Gerald, Hosts of Atatu, Upper Moutere
