Owner of Mala Kuca Gisborne

“Soon after purchasing and running my lovely little house in Gisborne as an Airbnb I was very fortunate to make contact with Lynn from Absolute Gisborne and what a fantastic find it has been.

As I don't live locally so having an extremely competent professional, capable and calm person at the helm to manage my property is wonderful.

Lynn with her team organise the bookings, cleaning, lawns and can deal with often the unexpected issues that can arise, going above and beyond with time and skill. The experience of having an Airbnb has becomes hassle free.

I feel very blessed to have found Lynn and her team. The peace of mind of being under the wind of Absolute Gisborne is actually priceless.”

“Lynn was an amazing host. Easy and clear communication and provided everything we needed for an enjoyable stay - I’d highly recommend her to any landlord wanting a reliable property manager. The property is stellar! Clean and loved all of the finishing touches and décor - would definitely stay again. Thanks again Lynn!!
