For owners in Twillingate

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

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.

What changes with a page of your own

Today, on Airbnb

The booking goes through Airbnb

Airbnb's fee: 15.5%, or about 3% on the older split fee

Of a $700 stay, you keep $591.50

You never had the guest's email

Beside it, your own page

Booked direct, at any hour

Paid to you, into a Stripe account in your own name

Of the same stay, you keep $641.36, after the card fee and our $35

The guest's name and email are yours, to welcome them back next year

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 Twillingate find nowhere to book direct.

From the Airport, our free route guides, opens its Twillingate page with "Places to stay". Right now it says none is listed. Yours could be the place visitors see there.

Who we are

I'm Jaret Manuel, originally from Lewisporte, and back often. I own commercial property in Twillingate, and a busier Twillingate 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.
