FAQs for Hosts

  • Who can be a host?

    Anyone with safe, off-street space. If you have a farm in Geraldine, a driveway in Queenstown, or a lawn in Wānaka, you can host travelers and earn.

  • Do I need amenities?

    No. You can choose to host self-contained vehicles only (with their own toilet and plumbing) or offer amenities (like a toilet and shower) to earn more. If you host self-contained vehicles only, please mention in your listing where the nearest dump station is.

  • How do payouts work?

    We partner with Stripe, a leading payment provider. You will be paid securely and quickly after each booking.

  • How much will it cost?

    Listing your property is completely free and we only charge a small commission on bookings to help keep the lights on. Selected founding hosts enjoy free fees during our summer launch!

  • How am I protected against damages?

    Each traveler agrees to our Terms and Conditions as well as your rules – this includes our Leave No Trace principle. If a traveler behaves poorly, we will investigate the issue and ban them from the platform if necessary. We will be rolling out host insurance soon.

  • Do I need Council consent?

    You can host one party or family without registering as a campground with your local council. Hosting multiple parties may require registration. Your local council can advise you on specific details for your region.
