Airbnb & Short Term Rental Management in Queenstown
Lake & Peak is a Queenstown-based Airbnb and short term rental management company that combines data-driven revenue strategy with high-impact visual storytelling. We handle everything so you can maximise returns while staying completely hands-off.
Founder’s note:
We came from opposite ends of the short-term rental world — but kept seeing the same problem.
One of us led revenue strategy for a nationwide accommodation group, using dynamic pricing and platform expertise to maximise returns across 11 of New Zealand’s top destinations.
The other crafted 50+ Airbnb listings in Queenstown, using photography and storytelling to boost bookings and elevate guest appeal.
We saw it again and again:
Beautiful homes — held back by weak pricing or underwhelming listings.
It felt like a missed opportunity we knew how to fix.
So we built Lake & Peak Property Management, a Queenstown Airbnb and holiday home management company, grounded in revenue intelligence and visual storytelling.
We help homeowners:

What Homeowners Are Saying
Marliis - Airbnb Host (Wanaka)
“ I had such a great experience working with Janno and Carmen. They reviewed my Airbnb listing and gave me so many valuable tips. Carmen, who is a very talented photographer, took amazing new photos and together they went through all the details to make sure everything looked perfect. They also helped me prepare for the Christmas season, and I have no doubt it will be a successful one thanks to their support. Thank you!”
