How Nezt helps

• Hotels near the yard are full or far away

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

• The crew ends up spread across hotel rooms

  Book a whole house with a bed for everyone and a kitchen to share. Many sleep 6 or more, and for bigger crews you can book several homes close together.

• A refit or build runs for months

  Stay for the whole job. Stays of 60 nights or more can be paid monthly, and many hosts offer weekly or monthly discounts.

• The headcount changes as the work moves on

  Make another request or book another home as the crew grows. Each home has its own dates, and you can message hosts through Nezt about changes.

• Accounts need proper paperwork

  Companies get an invoice in the company’s name, and on average Nezt is 25% cheaper than Airbnb and other booking sites.

• No time to ring round for rooms

  A real team on the phone, WhatsApp and email helps arrange stays, so you can get back to the job.
