Investing in a professional website for your guesthouse, B&B, or boutique property is one of the most effective ways to grow your direct bookings and reduce your reliance on online travel agents. A dedicated website gives prospective guests a place to discover your property and book with you directly, keeping more money in your pocket.
Here is a clear, transparent breakdown of what you can expect to pay for a Springnest website and what is included in your subscription
The once-off setup fee
Your journey starts with a conversation. The Springnest team will chat with you about your property and exactly what you need, then confirm your setup fee before any work begins.
Setup fees are based on the size of your property:
- Single unit properties are quoted individually
- 2 to 5 rooms: from R4,500
- 6 to 9 rooms: from R5,000
- 10 or more rooms: from R6,500
All prices exclude VAT. The fee confirmed in your initial conversation is the fee you pay. No surprises.
The monthly subscription: R460 per month (VAT included)
Once your website goes live, your monthly subscription begins. At R460 per month, this covers everything your website needs to stay live, secure, and working hard for your property:
Upcoming Price Update (Effective 1 December 2026)

The direct booking advantage
Having your own Springnest website is designed to pay for itself.
- Covers its own cost: At R460 per month, securing just one or two extra direct bookings each year—without paying OTA commissions—will completely cover your website subscription for the entire year.
- Keep more guest payments: Every booking made directly on your own website puts more money straight into your pocket compared to the same booking made through a third-party channel.
Automatic advance payment discounts
If you choose to pay your NightsBridge fees in advance to enjoy an advance payment discount, that same discount percentage applies automatically to your Springnest subscription. No extra forms or administrative steps are required.
