As Waiheke Island grows as a holiday destination, Be My Guest Waiheke provides an attractive and trustworthy option for property owners as well as travellers seeking an exceptional experience.
Be My Guest Waiheke boasts an impressive portfolio of properties that consistently exceed clients’ expectations.
Much of the business’s growth can be credited to word of mouth.
“With borders now open, the business is experiencing record performance and is in prime position for a new owner to benefit from the strength of this established operation,” Engelbrecht says.

Although Waiheke’s accommodation industry is one of friendly competition, this business sits in a league of its own.
“Be My Guest Waiheke tends to have high occupancy rates compared to the average Waiheke occupancy— a performance indicator achieved due to the excellent operation of the company,” Engelbrecht says.
Its success as a niche business in a competitive market is attributed to the quality of its properties.
The company is discerning about the properties it takes on.
They must be presented in an appealing way and include views, size, location, beach access or style.
Given the relatively high-end nature of Be My Guest Waiheke’s portfolio, its main customer demographics include family groups, mature groups, and couples.
Third-party portals like Airbnb, VRBO/Bookabach and Booking.com also work to connect holidaymakers with Be My Guest’s rental options.
The current owner, Miranda Plummer, has implemented pivotal changes to the business that have propelled its growth and status since she took control seven years ago.
“I come from a technology background which allowed me to conduct a complete review of systems and processes, redesign the website and build a strong social media brand,” Plummer explains.
“The overhaul resulted in significantly more traffic.”
As well as accommodation, Be My Guest offers welcome gifts of island products and produce to help guests settle in.
Plummer lives on Waiheke and the business runs seamlessly with a loyal and capable team of staff.
Operating from offices in Ostend, Be My Guest is positioned for a new owner to enjoy this opportunity.
“Be My Guest has great brand visibility and is a lean organisation with clear roles and responsibilities which leads to excellent profitability along with exemplary services,” says Engelbrecht.
Selling the business for health and family reasons, Plummer acknowledges the growth potential awaiting a new owner.
“There is still plenty of room on the profitable growth trajectory, both within the local Waiheke Island market and as a business model that can be taken to other locations around New Zealand,” she says.
Be My Guest Waiheke is priced at $795,000.
