Software for holiday rentals
Holiday rental software for the guests who book you direct
Repeat guests, friends of guests, people who found you on social media — direct bookings cost you no commission, but they need a proper quote, an invoice and a receipt. WStation gives you all three, with your branding and your bank details on them.
- No card
- Nothing to install
- Works on your phone

Look professional
A branded quote with dates, fees and a deposit, sent as a PDF, does more for a direct booking than a WhatsApp message with a number in it.
One calendar of truth
Put every booking — direct and from other sites — in one place, and WStation refuses anything that would overlap.
Paid to your account
Bank details, the invoice number as reference, and a QR code on every invoice.
A week at your holiday rental
From the first message to the last key
- A past guest messages
Same week as last year? The calendar says it's free. Quote it with the cleaning and pet fees in a minute.
- Deposit arrives
Record it; the dates are held and the balance shows on the stay.
- A booking from another site
Add it to the diary so nobody direct can take the same nights.
- Checkout
Balance taken, receipt sent, cabin marked for cleaning.
Your rates, your way
How you charge, and how WStation handles it
Set it up the way you already price. Anything unusual goes on the quote as a line of its own.
| How you charge | In WStation |
|---|---|
| Nightly rate for the whole home | A per-unit rate |
| Cleaning fee | An extra per stay |
| Pets, extra guests | Extras per item or per person |
| Deposit, balance before arrival | Deposit on the quote; part payments on the stay |
| Occupancy or lodging tax | Set your tax rate, or add a separate line |
| Weekly discount | Price the line for the week |
How it works
One stay, four names, zero retyping
Every guest is one record that changes its name as they go: asked for a price, said yes, stayed, paid. Each step is one press of a button.
- QuotationThey ask what it costs. Rooms, nights, guests and a deposit, priced in a minute.
- BookingThey say yes. One click, and the room is theirs on the calendar — nobody else can have it.
- InvoiceThey check out. The bill is raised from what was quoted, nothing typed twice.
- ReceiptThey pay. Part or all, by cash, card or transfer — and it is in the books.
Everything in it
Everything a holiday rental needs
- Occupancy calendar — every room down the side, every night across the top
- No double bookings — a taken room is refused before the quote or booking is saved
- Free-room search — type the dates and party size, see what is free and what fits
- Quotes per room — each room with its own dates, guests and per-person or per-room rate
- Deposits — ask for a percentage up front; the balance prints on its own
- Room status — checking a guest out marks the room for cleaning
- Invoices and receipts — your logo, bank details and a QR code on every document
- VAT, GST or sales tax — including a separate rate for accommodation, or no tax at all
- A till — for the bar, the shop or anything sold over the counter
- Income, expenses and reports — worked out from money that actually moved
- Your team — invite staff and admins; run more than one property from one login
- Phone, tablet or computer — and it keeps working when the signal drops
Questions
Asked before signing up
Does WStation sync with Airbnb or Vrbo?
No, not yet. WStation is for running your direct bookings and your books. Add bookings from other sites to its diary so those dates are held.
Can I manage several rentals?
Yes. Add each property as a unit in one business, or run them as separate businesses from one login.
Can guests pay by card?
WStation doesn't process payments. It records how a guest paid — card, EFT, cash or mobile money — and writes the receipt.
Is it free?
It's free to start, in your browser, with no card.
