Keep Every Room Booked for Months, Not Nights
Meet The 88th Day — the South-Australian platform that fills your hostel or farmstay with backpackers who stay 13 weeks or longer. List as many (or as few) beds as you like, let us handle secure weekly payments, and watch your occupancy soar.
Built for Independent Hosts
Run a buzzing Adelaide backpacker lodge, a Barossa vineyard cottage, or shearers' quarters in the Outback — our tools let you showcase your property in minutes, set house rules, and keep full control of pricing and availability. Start with a single room to test the waters; scale up when you're ready.
Guests Who Stay & Spend Longer
Our community is made up of Working-Holiday travellers who must clock 88 days of regional work — and all of SA counts as regional. They typically settle for an entire season, meaning fewer change-overs, steadier revenue, and a livelier hostel culture.
Work & Stay Sorted, Start-to-Finish
We don't just match guests with jobs before they arrive — we track their days in-app and alert you when a contract is ending, so you can pre-sell the bed and stay at peak occupancy. Jobs span construction, mining, fishing, horticulture, viticulture, and more specialised regional roles.
