For owners in Lewisporte

Your own booking page, beside Airbnb. Right here in Lewisporte.

Your Airbnb listing stays as it is. Guests who find you on the province's tourism website, Google or Facebook book and pay you directly, and you pay us nothing until one of them does.

On a $700 stay, about $50 more stays with you.

A page of your own costs nothing until a guest books on it.

Your Airbnb listing stays as it is. The card fee, as with any card payment: 2.9% plus 30 cents on the total with tax. Our fee is at most $35 a stay and never more than half of what that stay saves you. If you pay Airbnb about 3% on the older split fee, your own page comes out about even, so our fee on those stays is $0 or close to it.

On From the Airport, today

Visitors planning Lewisporte find one place to book direct.

Who we are

I'm Jaret Manuel, originally from Lewisporte, and back often. Lewisporte is home, and a busier Lewisporte floats all boats.

More to the point, I am a real person building real things, with the goal of bringing more benefit to the province.

Best Kind Stays is new, and we say so. The same people run From the Airport, the free route guides visitors use to get around the province, and Print the Place, which is opening to sell prints and cards by Newfoundland and Labrador artists.

Call or text me any time: 709-500-4401.
