How it Works

Spacing-in enables owners of unique spaces to rent out their underutilised spaces for those looking to host a low-impact, meaningful event or get-together. Its less intrusive than other short term rental platforms such as Airbnb since the owner doesn’t need to vacate their premises for a lengthy amount of time. Rather, an owner can go out to work and come home later having earned money for renting out, for example, their garden or living space during that time.

Very easy! There are three simple steps: 1. Complete our online property information form so we can learn about your space and what you have to offer. 2. We set up a profile and gain your approval. 3. Get ready to receive bookings!

As host, you get to put the hourly price on your space and determine how many hours you’d like to host. You also determine the type of events and amount of people that you are comfortable to host.

The host has an option of adding on a cleaning fee for most events ($50/hr) and concierge fee ($50/hr) based on the type of event they will be hosting. The concierge fee goes towards a spacing-in member to be present at the property during the event hire to ensure the property is protected and guests only go in areas they’ve agreed to. Spacing-in charges the host a 15% excl GST service fee to cover insurance, marketing, staffing and other costs.

Spacing in charges the guest a bond to cover any damages, lost or stolen items that may occur to the host’s property during the hire period. The host has 24 hours to make a claim with proof that the damage took place at fault of the guest. Spacing-in may take from the bond to pay for the damage repair.

A guest can browse through various properties and find the right space for their needs. If they have any questions, they discuss these with us to ensure that the property is the right fit and we liaise with the host.

The host has an option of choosing between 2 cancellation policies. 1. Flexible. Guest can cancel up to 7 days prior to the event and receive a full refund. After 7 days to 24 hours prior to event guest receives 50% discount. Within 24 hours, no refund. 2. Standard. Guest can cancel up to 30 days prior to the event and receive a full refund. From 30 days to 7 days prior to event, guest receives 50% discount. Within 7 days, no refund.

The following restrictions apply to all events, unless agreed to by the host: - All events are to end NLT 12am which includes clean-up and removal of any hired items such as décor, furniture, and lighting. - If you plan to serve alcohol you must disclose this to the host for permission. There can be no commercial sale of alcohol and it is the client’s responsibility to ensure responsible drinking. - Any loud music must cease prior to 10pm on weekdays and prior to 11pm on weekends. - Any events which are ticketed, require an entry charge or are open to the public are not allowed.
