If you’ve found one of our Taupō holiday homes on Airbnb and you’re about to book — stop for a moment. There’s a better way to do it, and it’ll save you money.
Booking direct through Fine Stays instead of through Airbnb means you pay less, get more flexibility, and deal directly with us — the people who actually manage the properties. Here’s everything you need to know.
What are the benefits of booking direct?
Better communication
When you book direct, you deal with us directly — by phone or email. If you have a question, a special request, or need something sorted during your stay, you reach a real person who knows the property and can actually help.
More flexibility
Airbnb’s standard booking process doesn’t always allow for the kind of flexibility that a direct conversation can. Need a slightly different check-in time? Travelling with a large group and want to confirm the exact bedroom configuration? Booking direct makes all of this easier to sort out before you arrive.
Corporate and long-stay rates
Travelling for work, or planning a longer stay? We offer corporate and long-stay rates that aren’t always available through Airbnb. Get in touch directly and we’ll work out the best arrangement for you.
No platform surprises
When you book direct, the price you see is the price you pay — no surprises.
Is it safe to book direct?
Absolutely. Fine Stays is a professional, locally owned property management company based in Taupō. We’ve been hosting guests for years and have over 800 five-star reviews across our properties. We are Airbnb Superhosts — which means our properties and our hosting meet Airbnb’s highest standards.
Booking direct with us is no different to booking with any reputable accommodation provider. We use secure payment processing, provide clear booking terms and conditions, and are contactable before, during, and after your stay.
How to book direct with Fine Stays
It’s straightforward. Browse our properties at finestays.co.nz/properties, find the home that’s right for you, and use our direct booking calendar to check availability and rates. Or get in touch with us directly:

We’re happy to help you find the right property for your dates, group size, and budget — and we’ll make sure you get our best available rate.
