Hosting With Heart
Hosting With Heart is a growing online community of passionate, purpose-driven holiday property hosts and like-minded independent suppliers based in Australia and New Zealand.
Founded in December 2019, the top-ranking ‘Hosting with Heart’ podcast has become an invaluable resource to all aspiring and experienced hosts. Hosted by multi-disciplinary creative and former host Jen Clark, it explores the challenges and joys of running short-stay accommodation and features engaging interviews with diverse hosts from around the region. The associated Facebook community, now comprising almost 1000 existing and future hosts, fosters support and connection in an industry that can often be fragmented and solitary.
Evolving as a natural extension of the podcast’s ethos, the Hosting with Heart website, launched in August 2022, showcases properties that demonstrate an ongoing commitment to a range of factors beyond the economic, including quality, creativity, sustainability, accessibility and social responsibility. From short stays on regenerative farms to wheelchair-accessible getaways, the Hosting with Heart website is an essential resource for hosts and holiday makers who value genuine connection, community, caring for our planet and the ‘heart’ at the core of hosting.
