Motel management software for New Zealand
NURISTAY began at the front desk of our family’s New Zealand motel. Bookings, check-in, housekeeping, payments and guest emails run in one system, on any device.
Why motels choose NURISTAY
Made at a motel front desk
Our family has run a motel in New Zealand for more than 20 years, and NURISTAY was built there. Every screen follows a real motel day: arrivals, payments, cleaning and departures.
No more retyping channel bookings
Booking.com, Expedia and SiteMinder emails become bookings within minutes, with changes and cancellations, so the calendar is always up to date.
Your motel in your pocket
See today’s arrivals, who still owes money and which rooms are ready on your phone – at the desk or away from it.
Features that make the difference
Check-in without paper
Guests read and sign the check-in form on a tablet at the desk, or on their own phone before they arrive. Signing on the check-in day also checks them in.
- A large, easy-to-read guest screen
- Signed forms kept in the cloud for 7 years
- ID and card photos from online check-in are encrypted and deleted 7 days after check-out
Housekeeping on the phone
Cleaners see the rooms to clean on their own phone, press Start cleaning, then Done. The front desk sees straight away which rooms are ready.
- Each cleaner has their own login and PIN
- Works on any phone – add it to the home screen like an app
- Screens refresh by themselves every 15 seconds

Is NURISTAY made for motels?
Yes. Our family has run a motel in New Zealand for more than 20 years, and NURISTAY was built while running it, so every screen follows how a motel front desk really works.
Can my cleaners use it?
Yes. Every staff member has their own login and PIN. Housekeepers see the rooms on their phone and mark them clean, and the front desk sees it straight away.
Can guests book directly with my motel?
Yes. NURISTAY includes your own booking page. Guests book and confirm straight away, and you pay no commission.
Can I check on my motel when I’m away?
Yes. NURISTAY works on any phone or tablet with internet, and the screens refresh every 15 seconds, so you always see the latest bookings and room status.
How much does NURISTAY cost?
Plans start from $99 a month + GST and go by number of rooms: Starter (1–10 rooms), Growth (11–20 rooms), Professional (21–30 rooms), Enterprise (31+ rooms – Custom pricing). Every feature is included; the Office Add-on (payroll, IRD filing and more) is extra. Your first month is free.
Do I need to install anything?
No. NURISTAY runs in the web browser on any computer, tablet or phone with internet. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app. We set it up for you.
Does it work with Booking.com and Expedia?
Yes. Forward the booking emails from Booking.com, Expedia and SiteMinder, and NURISTAY makes the booking within minutes – changes and cancellations too.
