Bookabach

What problem does Bookabach solve?

New Zealand holiday rental hosts need a domestic-first distribution channel that matches local search intent without giving up access to global Vrbo and Expedia demand.

What does Bookabach do?

Bookabach is New Zealand's original holiday rental marketplace and operates as part of Expedia Group under the Vrbo brand. It lists baches, beach cottages, farm stays, rural retreats, apartments, and luxury holiday homes across the country.

How does Bookabach work?

Hosts self-onboard properties and manage calendars, weekly and monthly rate plans, instant booking, cancellation policies, damage deposits, and payouts.

Channel manager and PMS connections route through Expedia Group's partner connectivity programme, with iCal sync for simpler setups.

Guest tools include wishlist boards, two-way reviews, and 24/7 support handled via Expedia Group infrastructure.

Vrbo integration adds international distribution on top of the domestic listing.

New Zealand hosts and property managers wanting strong domestic brand reach plus inbound visibility through the Vrbo and Expedia network.
