Five-star stays.
Central control.
We transform properties into performing short-stay assets. By operating a managed partner network, we scale your returns while keeping our rigorous, bilingual five-star guest experience firmly under central control.
Quality is our product.
We never trade it for scale.
As a core division of Navigate Japan Limited, Home & Heart Stays serves as the operating capability engine that turns an acquired property into a performing short-stay asset.
Rather than diluting our brand through unproven franchising, we scale our management business while keeping quality central: our online operations are securely run from Auckland, while ground services are partnered market-by-market.
Bilingual Guest Engine
Seamless communication bridging cross-border markets, elevating property value.
Managed Partner Network
Online operations run from Auckland, while ground execution is handled by strictly vetted local partners.
Turnkey Investor Assets
Source, renovate, license, and launch. We connect cross-border investors to fully managed, done-for-you opportunities.
How we drive value.
Managed Partner Network
Our primary growth engine. We run the bilingual Auckland desk—handling pricing, reviews, and reporting—while collaborating with vetted ground partners to maintain flawless quality control.
Short-Stay Consulting
A productised advisory playbook. This service leverages our expertise to guide owners setting up their own properties, doubling as a soft entry into our wider property funnel.
Done-For-You Setups
We source the property, project-manage the renovation, confirm the lawful accommodation pathway, and hand a turnkey, fully-licensed operating asset to an investor who funds it.
Disciplined, compliant, and fully integrated.
Deal Origination
We leverage our Clearance and Property Management arms to gain early access to motivated sellers and unique property opportunities before they hit the open market.
Renovation & Design
Guided by our proven playbook, we partner with trusted local builders and project managers to elevate the property to a premium, guest-ready standard.
Strict Licensing
We confirm the lawful accommodation pathway (such as 旅館業法 簡易宿所営業 or 特区民泊 in Japan) with local scriveners and authorities before any launch.
Five-Star Operation
Your asset goes live on our managed network, capturing premium rates through our bilingual guest engine and meticulous daily oversight.
Accessing the cross-border market.
Through our Navigate Business arm, we match international investors to high-yield Japanese property opportunities. Because Japan remains open to foreign ownership while New Zealand is restricted, our acquisition strategy heavily weights toward Japan.
Ring-Fenced Assets
Every project is isolated in its own vehicle, ensuring development risks never compromise our core service engine.
Capital-Light Scaling
We build our track record using investor capital first, ensuring a secure, steady climb before committing our own principal balance sheet.
Clear structures. Aligned incentives.
Launch Advisory
Productised consulting playbook for owners launching their own short-stay assets.
Full Management
Centralised Auckland desk operations coupled with vetted ground partners.
Done-For-You Setup
Sourcing, project management, and licensing setup for investor-funded properties.
