Holiday park booking software: cabins, sites & seasonal rates

Holiday parks: cabins and sites booked direct. Fill the park, not the inbox.

Christmas bookings by phone, seasonal rates in a spreadsheet, guests asking which cabin has the water view and Booking.com taking a slice of every night. We build booking, check-in, housekeeping and guest systems for holiday parks that all talk to each other. Then we host them and look after them.

Looking for holiday park booking software that handles cabins, sites and seasons?

A holiday park is a motel, a caravan yard, a cleaning company and a small town council all on one block. You've got cabins with different bed setups, powered sites that fit a 24 foot van and some that don't, slab sites, grassy sites, dog-friendly rows and a handful of permanents who've been there longer than the office. Then the school holidays land and every rule you keep in your head has to be applied to hundreds of bookings at once.

Wollopit builds custom holiday park software around how your park actually runs. Guests choose their spot on your park map and the system applies the right season, minimum stay and extras without anyone touching a calculator. Arrivals get their gate code by SMS. Housekeeping sees exactly which cabins turn over today. We connect the platforms you already rely on, replace the ones holding you back and host the lot on our own servers.

01The problems

What we hear from holiday parks

Does your holiday park have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

Most parks we talk to have great sites, loyal regulars and a front office that runs on a booking screen, a whiteboard and a phone that never stops. Fine in May. Not so fine on Boxing Day.

  • The problemThe phone rings all through peak seasonSchool holidays open and reception spends the whole day reading out what's free, taking card numbers and writing it all down twice.
    How we fix itOnline booking that shows real availability for every cabin and site, takes the deposit and sends the confirmation on its own.
  • The problemSeasonal rates live in a spreadsheetPeak, shoulder, off-peak, Easter, long weekends and the local footy carnival all priced by hand. Someone always quotes last year's rate.
    How we fix itRate rules set once for every season and event. The right price lands on every booking automatically.
  • The problemMinimum stays argued at the counterSeven nights over Christmas, three over Easter, two on long weekends. Guests book one night online and reception has to ring them back.
    How we fix itStay rules built into the booking. Minimums, arrival days and gap-filling short stays are handled before the guest pays.
  • The problemGuests want to know which cabin is whichIs cabin 12 the one near the pool? Does site 40 fit a 26 foot van with an annexe? Every second email asks.
    How we fix itAn interactive park map with photos, van lengths, slab or grass, shade and distance to the amenities block for every spot.
  • The problemBooking sites take a slice of every nightBooking.com and Expedia send guests who would have booked direct if your own website made it easy.
    How we fix itA fast direct booking engine on your website with returning guest perks so the commission stays in your pocket.
  • The problemDouble bookings across channelsA cabin sells on an OTA while reception books it over the phone. Somebody gets a very awkward call.
    How we fix itOne live availability calendar synced to your channel manager so every channel sees the same cabin at the same time.
  • The problemExtras forgotten or never chargedLinen hire, pet fees, extra cars, late checkout and the kayak hire all noted on a sticky. Half of it never gets billed.
    How we fix itExtras added during booking or later from the guest's phone, priced by night or by stay and on the bill from day one.
  • The problemRegulars all want the same site at ChristmasThe same families ring in January to lock in next Christmas. The list is a notebook and a lot of goodwill.
    How we fix itReturning guest requests and a fair rebooking window, with a waitlist that offers cancellations to the next family automatically.
  • The problemLate arrivals after the office shutsGuests roll in at 9pm, the gate's locked and the manager's phone lights up during dinner.
    How we fix itOnline check-in before arrival with gate codes, site numbers and a map sent by SMS on the day.
  • The problemChangeover day chaosThirty cabins out, thirty in, cleaners working off a printout and reception guessing which ones are ready.
    How we fix itA housekeeping board on phones showing departures, arrivals, linen counts and a tap to mark each cabin clean.
  • The problemMaintenance on scraps of paperA leaking tap in cabin 8, a dead light in the amenities block and a mower service due. All in someone's head.
    How we fix itMaintenance jobs logged with a photo, assigned to the right person and blocked from sale if a cabin can't be let.
  • The problemPermanents and annuals billed by handSite fees, power meter readings and storage charges worked out each quarter in a spreadsheet then retyped into Xero.
    How we fix itPermanent and annual site accounts with scheduled fees, meter readings and invoices that go straight into Xero or MYOB.

The big ones

Your whole park, on one system.

These are the systems holiday parks ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.

Cabin & site booking

Pick your spot on the map. Book it in a minute.

Guests see your actual park layout and choose the cabin or site that suits them. Van length, power, slab or grass and pet rules are checked before they pay so nobody turns up to a site that doesn't fit.

  • Van and annexe length checks
  • Pet-friendly and accessible filters
  • Deposits or full payment by card

Seasonal pricing & rules

  • Tap to mark a cabin ready

07How we work

The process

Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.

We get properly below the surface of your holiday park: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We walk the park, sit at reception through a busy morning and follow the cleaners on changeover day to see what's really slowing you down.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: your sites, cabins, seasons, stay rules, extras, channels, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win before the next school holidays.

  4. 04

    Look after

    We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks during peak season you call the people who built it.

08Questions

FAQ

Things holiday parks ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.

Can guests choose their exact cabin or site?

Yes. Guests pick from an interactive map of your park with photos and details for each spot. You decide which sites can be chosen and which are allocated by the office.

Can regular guests rebook the same site?

Yes. Returning guests can request their favourite site and you can give regulars an early rebooking window before Christmas opens to everyone.

Will it handle our seasonal rates and minimum stays?

Yes. You set each season, event and minimum stay once. The system applies the right price and rules to every booking so reception doesn't have to fix them later.

We already use NewBook or RMS. Do we have to switch?

No. If your park management system is doing its job we build around it: the park map, direct booking, guest guide, housekeeping board or permanents billing on top. If it's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.

Will it stop double bookings with Booking.com and Expedia?

Yes. We keep one live availability calendar and sync it through your channel manager so every channel sees the same stock.

Can late arrivals get in after the office closes?

Yes. Guests check in online and receive their site number, gate code and a map by SMS on arrival day. We can connect to many boom gate and keypad systems too.

How much does a holiday park system cost?

It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.

How long does it take?

Smaller jobs like a park map or guest guide can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early, ideally before your next peak season.

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 holiday parks 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.
