About Stay Ready
Stay Ready is owned by Holly and Sam Riddell. After hosting our own Airbnb, we realised we could use our experience to help other property owners in the area do the same.
Our mission is simple: to handle all aspects of running a short-term rental, allowing you to relax while your property thrives and your guests create unforgettable holiday memories.
Backed by years of experience in Airbnb management, the Stay Ready team is equipped with the tools and insights to boost your occupancy rates and maximise your financial returns.
As locals, we are deeply passionate about the Bay of Plenty and love sharing our slice of paradise to others, while ensuring that both your guests and your property receive the utmost care.
Hear it from others
"We have employed Stay Ready to manage our two properties on Airbnb for the last two years. We have always found Holly and Sam to be very responsive and professional in the way that they manage the bookings, property, and dealing with clients, from their initial marketing package through to the late-night calls from guests.
Nothing is a problem for them, and they take care of our properties as if they were their own. This gives us the comfort and reassurance we need. We would highly recommend using Holly and Sam to manage your rental property."

"We feel so lucky to have had Holly managing our Airbnb for the past two years. At the start, we were a bit nervous about handing over our home, but quickly we realised she was someone we could completely trust. She treats our house as if it were her own and because we live quite far away, that level of care and reliability has made all the difference for us.
All thanks to Holly we became Superhosts early on which helped boost our bookings. Our reviews hover around a 4.9 out of 5 rating. Guests leave the loveliest reviews about how smooth their stays are, and how much they enjoyed the amenities - that’s entirely because of Holly’s attention to detail, warmth, and responsiveness. She’s brilliant at handling questions quickly, making guests feel welcome, and sorting out anything that needs fixing. Holly always takes the initiative, gets quick quotes, organises everything, and keeps us in the loop so we never have to worry - we completely trust her judgment, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing she’s looking after everything.
Having Holly host has been genuinely stress-free and enjoyable for us, we honestly couldn’t imagine running our Airbnb without her. She’s been such a huge part of the success and we’re beyond grateful for everything she does."

"We engaged the services of Stay Ready. This is a property management business operated by Holly and Sam. Their set up process was clear with instructions, and actually very simple to get the property ready for guests. From there, they just “took over” and managed the property to give us a hassle-free experience. Their group of contractors, ranging from cleaners to property maintenance, let us be uninterrupted during the process. We have sold our property but would certainly use them again."
