How Nezt helps

• Hotels near the route are full or far away

  Send one free request with the area, dates and headcount. Hosts with a home within 15 miles send offers, typically within 8 minutes.

• The work moves along the route

  Search by the town nearest the next section, or send a new request for each area. Requests are free and don’t need payment details.

• Night closures and early starts

  Book a whole home rather than hotel rooms, so the crew has its own kitchen and quiet space to sleep in the day. Many houses sleep 6 or more.

• Gangs grow and shrink between phases

  Book several homes close together, and send more requests as the crew grows.

• Schemes that run for years

  Stays of 60 nights or more can be paid monthly, many hosts offer weekly or monthly discounts, and companies get an invoice in the company’s name.

• Vans, trailers and parking

  Each listing shows its own parking and cancellation policy, and you can message the host through Nezt before you book.
