Farm stay booking software: stays, experiences & add-ons
Farm stays: stays booked direct, experiences added. Bookings, experiences and produce.
Bookings through listing sites, farm tours arranged on arrival and produce sold from an honesty box. We build farm stay systems that sell the whole experience directly.
Looking for farm stay booking software?
Farm stays sell more than a bed. Animal feeding, tours and farm produce are the experience. We build direct booking that sells all of it.
Wollopit builds booking systems, itineraries, guest portals and websites for farm stays around how your tours and trips actually run. We connect the booking platforms you already use, cut the commissions you don't need to pay and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back to looking after guests.
01The problems
What we hear from farm stays
Does your farm stay have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your farm stay: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things farm stays ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can we keep listing on Airbnb too?
Yes. We sync availability with listing sites so you can grow direct bookings without double bookings.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your farm stay. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
Can we keep selling through agents and OTAs?
Yes. We connect your direct bookings with the channels you use, so availability lines up everywhere and you push more people to book direct.
What happens when weather cancels a trip?
Guests can be messaged, rebooked or refunded from one screen instead of a night of phone calls.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most farm stays we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
