Key takeaways
5- OneBookPlus is a unified property management system, channel manager, and direct booking engine for AU hotels, motels, BnBs, holiday rentals, and caravan parks, replacing stacks like Little Hotelier, RMS Cloud or SiteMinder, none of which we republish a price for here, on a free starter plan.
- Direct bookings via your /stay/your-slug page are commission-free, versus 15-18% commission on Booking.com or 14-16% host fees on Airbnb, and the savings are whatever your own OTA commission bill comes to.
Show 3 moreShow less
- Built-in NSW Property ID (PID) registration tracking and the 180-night Greater Sydney non-hosted short-term rental cap counter alert at 90% and 100% so you don't breach the cap and trigger a fine.
- Victoria's Short Stay Levy (7.5% on stays under 28 nights, in force since 1 January 2025) is calculated on every applicable booking and reported quarterly to the State Revenue Office.
- Free iCal sync with Airbnb, Stayz, Booking.com, Vrbo, and Agoda lands inbound holds roughly every 30 minutes; a Channel Manager app with direct API connections to Expedia, Wotif, Trip.com, and Agoda for higher-volume properties is coming.
Cut $318+/mo from your software stack by replacing Little Hotelier + SiteMinder + Xero + Mailchimp with OneBookPlus, before a single recovered Booking.com commission.

Who it's for
Built for every accommodation business
From a single Airbnb cottage to a 40-room country motel. OneBookPlus adapts to how AU hosts run a property.
BnB / Holiday Rental Host
One or two listings on Airbnb and Stayz. Needs free iCal sync to stop double-bookings, a commission-free direct /stay page, and the VIC Short Stay Levy worked out automatically.
Motel Operator
10 to 40 drive-up rooms, lots of walk-ins. Needs a fast stays board, a per-night rate calendar with weekend uplift, and a housekeeping board the casual cleaner can update from a phone.
Multi-property STR Host
A portfolio of Greater Sydney listings. Needs the NSW PID register and the 180-night non-hosted cap counter with 90% and 100% alerts so a single property never triggers a fine.
Boutique Lodge / Caravan Park
Powered sites, cabins or glamping tents with seasonal pricing. Needs flexible room types, deposit-on-booking via Stripe, and GST folios with one-click BAS-ready exports (a live Xero sync is not built and is not on a date).

Example walkthrough
Friday, arrivals, channel and cash-up
An illustrative walkthrough of a typical owner-operator day
Early morning. You open the stays board on the front-desk tablet: today's departures and arrivals, plus a couple of in-house guests on a longer contract stay. Several arrivals already show a pre-arrival badge because they submitted ETAs and rego details through the check-in portal overnight, so you pre-allocate rooms before the cleaners start.
Mid-morning. A direct booking lands on the board, a family for two nights, captured through your own /stay page off the back of your Google Business Profile. No OTA commission comes out of that one. You confirm the hold with one click and the guest gets an acknowledgement email automatically.
Late morning. You bulk-apply a long-weekend rate across the next couple of months for local events, weekend uplift on and minimum length of stay set. The outbound iCal feed pushes the closures so the OTA listings cannot oversell a night.
Through the day, if you are in Victoria the Short Stay Levy line is calculated on every qualifying short stay, ready to lodge with the State Revenue Office next quarter. Your casual cleaner works off a /clean share link with no login, marking rooms inspected from a phone as they go.
End of day: rooms turned, folios totalled, and card deposits already captured. You export the commission report and check it against the OTA payout when it lands. Come BAS time the GST summary is one click (daily revenue sync to Xero is not built and is not on a date).

One day, written by itself, an illustrated day of an Australian motel run on OneBookPlus
An illustrated day, not real customer data. Scroll through it from morning to 5pm: the AI receptionist answers and books a missed call, the work runs from the app, the GST invoice is sent on the spot, payment lands and the books balance themselves, a review invite is queued for the next daily run, and the day closes with the ledger already written.

The AI answers in two rings, books two nights direct and texts a check-in link, no Booking.com clipping $74 off the top.

Check-in
Folio raised on the spot.
One tap raises the folio with a pay link, GST itemised, no paper registration card, no end-of-month catch-up.
Back to the board

The card payment lands, the stays board updates, and $44.55 GST is set aside for BAS.

FAQ
Common questions
Will this work for my property type?
+
Yes. OneBookPlus supports hotels, motels, BnBs, serviced apartments, holiday rentals, multi-property STR hosts, hostels, caravan parks, boutique lodges and pub accommodation. Every feature works the same way regardless of your subtype; only the onboarding tour and sample data are tailored.
How does direct booking save me commission?
+
When a guest books through Booking.com or Expedia, you pay 15-25% commission per booking. Every booking that lands on your direct booking page (URL: /stay/your-business-slug) costs you nothing in OTA commission. What you keep is whatever your own OTA commission bill comes to, so put your last statement beside it, by promoting your direct URL alongside OTA listings.
Do I have to manage my OTAs separately?
+
No. Free iCal sync covers most small hosts (Airbnb, Stayz, Booking.com all support it): reservations land on your dashboard automatically with the channel labelled, on a roughly 30-minute refresh. A Channel Manager app with direct API connections for higher-volume properties is coming.
What's NSW PID and 180-night cap tracking?
+
Since 2021, NSW Greater Sydney non-hosted short-term rentals are capped at 180 nights/year, and every property must register a PID (Premises Identification). OneBookPlus tracks both, set your state and PID once, and we count the nights against the cap automatically with alerts at 90% and 100%.
What does VIC Short Stay Levy mean for me?
+
From 1 January 2025, Victoria charges a 7.5% Short Stay Levy on bookings under 28 nights. OneBookPlus calculates the levy on every applicable stay automatically and shows it as a line on the stay detail. You collect from the guest and lodge with SRO quarterly.
Can I try the demo before signing up?
+
Yes, the OneBookPlus Hotel demo is publicly viewable. Browse rooms, stays, the rate calendar, the housekeeping board, the loyalty program, the team roster, and the marketplace as a logged-in user. No data entry, just look around to see what a populated property looks like.
How much does it cost?
+
The Free tier covers a single property with up to 25 stays/month. Paid plans start at $29/mo for higher volume. Marketplace apps (Guest Experience Suite, Revenue Operations) are billed separately when you install them; Channel Manager is coming and will be billed the same way. The core PMS, including free iCal sync, is always free to start.
Is direct booking really commission-free?
+
Yes. The booking page that comes with your account (/stay/your-slug) takes zero commission, every dollar the guest pays is yours minus the payment fees if you wire up Stripe (Stripe charges roughly 1.7% + 30c on AU cards, and OneBookPlus adds a 2.5% platform fee on online card payments). Compare that to Booking.com's 15-18% or Airbnb's 14-16% host fee.
How do guest comms work?
+
When a guest books, three SMS touchpoints fire automatically: a check-in link 3 days before arrival, a welcome message on arrival morning, and a review request the day after check-out. Email versions also exist; both are operator-configurable from Settings. Guests with no phone fall back to email.
Can my cleaner update room status without a login?
+
Yes, the housekeeping app generates per-cleaner share links (a URL like /clean/abc123) you text to your casual cleaners. They tap to mark rooms clean / dirty / inspected from their phone. No login, no app install, just a link.
What about deposit / pre-payment for direct bookings?
+
Configure a deposit policy (none, % of total, flat amount, or first-night) in Settings, then Payments. Once you connect Stripe, deposits are captured as refundable card holds at the time the guest submits the booking, and you capture them when you confirm the stay. Operator gets 100%, no platform fee.
Switching from another tool, can I import my booking history?
+
Not automatically today. Free iCal sync starts pulling new holds forward from the day you paste in the feed; a wizard to backfill 12 months of history into your reports and occupancy heatmap is planned for the Channel Manager app once it ships.
Can guests reply to the SMS we send them?
+
Yes. Two-way SMS works out of the box, when you send pre-arrival or arrival-day messages from the platform, guest replies land directly in the in-stay conversation thread on the stay detail page. No separate inbox to check.
How OneBookPlus Works for Hotels
Most small Australian properties are run on a tangle of OTA extranets, an Airbnb iCal feed, a paper folio book, and a Google Sheet that never quite agrees with the bank. You re-key the same booking into Booking.com, Stayz and your calendar; you photocopy the registration card; and at the end of the night you tally the takings by hand. Every reservation through an OTA quietly hands over 15% to 18% on Booking.com or a 14% to 16% host fee on Airbnb, and the big PMS suites that promise to fix it, Little Hotelier, SiteMinder and RMS Cloud, are priced for chains and want a setup consultant before you can sell a room.
OneBookPlus rebuilds the property around a single stays board. Every check-in, check-out and in-house guest sits on one screen, with pre-arrival badges from the public check-in portal. Your commission-free direct booking page lives at /stay/your-slug the moment you have one room, paste it into your Google Business Profile, your email signature and your website footer, and every guest who books there keeps you the full nightly rate minus the payment fees: roughly 1.7% + 30¢ to Stripe on AU cards, plus a 2.5% OneBookPlus platform fee on online card payments. Free iCal sync with Airbnb, Stayz, Booking.com, Vrbo and Agoda lands inbound holds roughly every 30 minutes and publishes an outbound feed so the OTAs never oversell a night you've already filled.
Your Daily Workflow
The day starts on the arrivals board: pre-allocate rooms to the guests who've already submitted their ETA, confirm overnight direct holds with one click, and bulk-apply long-weekend or festival rates across the next eight weeks with weekend uplift and a min-LOS rule. As guests check out, the housekeeping board flips rooms to “needs cleaning”; your casual cleaner works off a /clean share link with no login, marking rooms inspected from their phone. Each stay produces a GST-compliant folio with deposit tracking, and an OTA commission report lets you check any Booking.com or Expedia stay against what the channel actually remitted.
Payments & Accounting
Stripe deposits and direct-booking payments match against open folios; OTA payouts net of commission reconcile against the accrual the system already posted; linen, cleaning and OTA commission categorise as cost of sales. Daily revenue sync to Xero or MYOB is not built and is not on a date, so the month-end figures move across on the export rather than on their own. Come BAS time the GST summary is already prepared, GST collected on room nights and extras, GST credits on purchases, exportable in one click or shared straight to your accountant.
Getting Started
Sign up free, no credit card, no lock-in. Pick your subtype (hotel, motel, BnB, holiday rental, multi-property STR, hostel, caravan park, lodge, serviced apartments or pub accommodation) and OneBookPlus pre-loads sample room types and an AU chart of accounts. Paste your existing iCal feeds and upcoming Airbnb / Stayz / Booking.com holds start flowing into your stays board straight away. Set your state so the NSW Property ID and 180-night Greater Sydney cap, or the Victorian 7.5% Short Stay Levy, track automatically. You can sell your first commission-free direct room the day you sign up.
Stop juggling 4 spreadsheets and 6 OTA extranets.
Start free. Set up in 30 minutes. Cancel any time.
