LODGE WEBSITES THAT BRING
DIRECT BOOKINGS.
Rooms, rates, packages and activities on your own site — so returning and referred guests book with you instead of through a platform that takes a cut of every night.
South Africa · Namibia · Botswana · Zambia · Zimbabwe · From R14,000, first year of care included.

EVERY DIRECT BOOKING IS ONE YOU DON'T PAY COMMISSION ON.
Booking sites are useful for being found, but every booking through them costs you a commission. Your own site gives returning and referred guests a direct way to book with you.
GUESTS DECIDE ON PHOTOS AND WHAT'S INCLUDED.
Rooms, sleeping arrangements, rates by season, meals and what there is to do on the farm — set out clearly, so a guest stops comparing and enquires.
PACKAGES AND FUNCTIONS ARE WHERE THE GOOD MONTHS COME FROM.
Specials before peak season, group stays, weddings and conferences each get their own page you can switch on and off as your year changes.
WHAT GOES ON THE SITE.
This is the Performance build for lodges & farm stays — game lodges, guest farms and bush camps selling nights and experiences.
- Packages and specials pages you can switch on and off
- Functions, weddings and group stays page
- Guest reviews section
- Seasonal rates table

WHAT IT COSTS.
Same prices for every sector — what's included changes. A campaign before a busy period is R2,500: a holiday or specials campaign before peak season. Ad spend is never included — you pay Meta directly.

What does a lodge website cost?
Foundation is R14,000, Performance is R22,000 and Flagship is R27,000 — once-off, with the first year of care included. From year two, care is R7,000, R11,000 or R13,500 a year depending on the package. Most lodges also book a campaign at R2,500 when they want a push before a busy period. Ad spend is never included — you pay Meta directly.
How long does it take?
Foundation goes live in a few days to a week, Performance in 1–2 weeks and Flagship in 2–3 weeks — a month at the very most. The clock starts the day I have everything — photos, rates and details.
What do I need to give you?
Photos of the rooms, the food and the surroundings — phone photos are fine. Your unit list and how many each sleeps, your rates by season, your activities and your cancellation terms. If you already use a booking system, I link or embed it.
Can I start small and add to it later?
Yes. Start on Foundation and upgrade later — you pay only the difference and nothing gets rebuilt. If you are not sure which one fits, answer the planner questions and it will show you the package and the full price.
SEE YOUR PLAN AND YOUR PRICE.
A few questions about how you sell, then you see the package that fits, what's in it and the full price — year one and after. Nothing is paid until you've seen your free mockup and said yes.
