Small Value-Adds, Big Guest Impact

When it comes to short-stay hosting in Perth, the guest experience is everything. Clean sheets and reliable WiFi are just the basics — but to really stand out, it’s often the small value-adds that turn a stay into a five-star review.

At Home the Way, a local Perth Airbnb management team, we’ve seen that carefully chosen extras can transform a property’s reviews, boost bookings, and increase overall returns — without big renovations.

1. 🍷 Local Flavour Guests Love

Travelers want to feel connected to the area. Adding local touches — like a bottle of Margaret River wine, a small welcome basket with WA snacks, or a handwritten card recommending your favourite café — instantly makes your property more memorable. These little touches set your listing apart from generic short-term rentals.

2. 🛋️ Everyday Comforts That Impress

• Fluffy, fresh towels

• A quality coffee station with pods or fresh beans

• Seasonal add-ons like sunscreen in summer, or a cozy throw rug in winter

Guests notice these details, and they help your Perth Airbnb feel guest-ready all year round.

3. ✨ Little Luxuries With Big Impact

• A diffuser or scented candle

• Premium bathroom products instead of generic soap

• A styled tray with essentials on the coffee table or bedside

These subtle luxuries show guests you’ve gone the extra mile and they photograph beautifully for your listing.

4. 💡 Curated Add-Ons That Pay for Themselves

Some extras don’t just delight guests — they also create additional revenue opportunities. Instead of a generic welcome pack, consider optional value-adds such as:

• Premium wine or snack upgrades

• Late check-out options

• Rental items like picnic sets, beach towels, or yoga mats

Done right, these upsells feel like service, not sales, and can increase both satisfaction and income.

Why Value-Adds Work for Perth Airbnb Hosts

Smart value-adds do more than decorate a space — they signal to guests that the property is well managed and host-focused. That leads to glowing reviews, repeat bookings, and the ability to justify higher nightly rates.

At Home the Way, we help Perth property owners maximise returns through Airbnb co-hosting, professional cleaning, property styling, and guest management. From the everyday details to curated extras, we take care of everything so your property achieves its full potential.
