Riverside Guesthouse
A three-bedroom guesthouse on a river backwater, taking bookings directly instead of paying commission on every stay to a booking portal.
Portals take a cut of every night and own the customer relationship. The build put availability, seasonal rates and payment on the property's own site, with the amenities that actually drive the decision — private jetty, year-round hot tub, seasonal pool — given the prominence a portal listing never allows.
