Run your shortlet on autopilot
From booking confirmation to checkout cleaning, Property Kahuna handles the operational heavy lifting. Focus on scaling your portfolio, not managing turnovers.
How Kahuna automates your daily ops
One workflow. Four steps. Zero manual coordination.
Booking Confirmed
A booking comes in through Kahuna and the date is blocked on your calendar automatically.
Cleaning Job Created
Turn on auto-dispatch and a cleaning job is created after checkout for cleaners in your area to bid on or be assigned.
Turnover Verified
Cleaner completes your digital checklist with photo proof. You review it before the next guest arrives.
Property Ready
The job is marked complete and your calendar is open for the next booking.
Selling through more than one agent? Stop double-booking.
If several agents sell your shortlet — your own team, plus agents you work with on WhatsApp — it's easy for two people to promise the same nights to two different guests, with nothing but a bank-transfer screenshot to sort it out afterward.
With Kahuna, any agent you allow can turn a WhatsApp-negotiated price into a shareable payment link. The moment that link is created, those dates are held on your property's calendar immediately — visible to every other agent — so nobody can sell the same nights twice.
- ✓ Dates held the instant a link is created, before the guest even pays
- ✓ Works across your team automatically, plus any external agents you explicitly allow
- ✓ Set a minimum nightly price so no agent sells below your floor
- ✓ Guest pays with a one-time code — no account needed
- ✓ See every link and its status in one dashboard
Everything you need to scale confidently
Availability Blocking
Block dates for maintenance, personal use, or cleaning windows. Booked and blocked dates are disabled for new guests automatically.
Cleaning Marketplace
Post cleaning jobs, review bids from cleaning companies, and track each job with a photo-verified checklist.
Shareable Booking Links
Turn a negotiated price into a payable link. Send it straight to a guest on WhatsApp — no account required for them to pay.
Turnover Automation Settings
Configure auto-created cleaning, welcoming, departure, and inspection jobs once, then let them run around every checkout.
Flexible Booking Types
Choose enquiry-only, request-to-book with your approval, or instant booking for each listing.
Secure Payments
Bookings are paid through Paystack, with caution fees held and released per your cancellation policy.
Find cleaners. Keep guests coming back.
Inconsistent cleaning is a top reason shortlets lose repeat guests. Kahuna’s marketplace connects you with cleaning professionals whose profiles are reviewed before they go live.
- ✓ Post jobs, compare bids, choose your cleaner
- ✓ Photo-verified digital checklists
- ✓ Report problems for dispute mediation
Built for how shortlet operations actually run
Less manual coordination
Configure auto-created cleaning and turnover jobs once. They run around every checkout without you re-posting each time.
Checklist-verified turnovers
Cleaners submit a photo-backed checklist before a property is marked ready, so you can review it before the next guest checks in.
One dashboard for bookings
See enquiries, requests, and confirmed bookings across your listings in one place, with dates blocked automatically.
How a turnover flows
Frequently asked questions
Can more than one agent sell my property? ▼
Yes. Your teammates can generate booking links automatically, and you can explicitly grant access to outside agents per property. Every link holds its dates on your calendar the moment it's created, so two agents can never sell the same nights.
How does the cleaning dispatch work? ▼
Turn on auto-dispatch for a listing and a cleaning job is created after checkout. Cleaning companies in your area can bid on it, or you can assign your own team. You set the checklist and review photo proof when it's marked complete.
Can I use my own cleaning team? ▼
Yes. You can restrict a listing's jobs to your own teammates, and only open them to the marketplace when you need backup.
Does it sync with Airbnb or Booking.com? ▼
Not yet. Bookings made through Kahuna are tracked directly on your calendar today. Native calendar sync with Airbnb and Booking.com is on our roadmap.
What does it cost? ▼
Free to list and manage your property, including bookings and availability. The cleaning marketplace and payments carry their own per-job or per-booking fees, shown before you confirm.
