Booking revenue up 20-30% after diversifying - Ohana on Guesty

Ohana is a family-run vacation rental manager in Christchurch that survived COVID, grew after it, and felt unstoppable. Diversifying booking channels through Guesty lifted revenue 20-30% and saved roughly $10-15k a year in fees against a competing quote - across a portfolio that has hosted ~200,000 guests and collected 30,000 reviews. Sayso filmed father and son Phil and Andreas Cooper at the family property.

We survived COVID. We grew after COVID and we felt unstoppable at that point... So we've taken that confidence, we've grown. And I think a lot of our clients trust us because we deliver time and time again.

How Sayso filmed this

Shot at the family-owned Christchurch property - main house plus cottage - on a two-camera setup with softbox lighting and negative fill, lav mics and a backup recorder that died mid-shoot. A second, shorter client-facing round was filmed afterwards for a separate cut. Second quote in the can: "Ohana means family and family means no one gets left behind."
