Case Study: Tongariro Crossing Lodge boosts occupancy from 35% to 75% with Preno

How Tongariro Crossing Lodge increased their occupancy rates from 35% to 75% with Preno

Tongariro Crossing Lodge, a boutique accommodation in New Zealand run by first-time hoteliers Marina and Louis van Wyk, faced the challenge of low occupancy rates and managing their property without prior industry experience. They needed a simple yet powerful system to help them learn the ropes and grow their business, turning to the Preno hotel management software for a solution.

By implementing Preno, the lodge automated key processes including credit card validation to prevent fraudulent bookings and mobile accessibility to capture bookings from any location. The solution from Preno provided seamless integration with payment systems and OTAs, leading to a dramatically improved occupancy rate, which surged from 35% to 75%. Additionally, Preno helped them avoid $600 in losses from fake bookings.
