Arrival Checklist

10 Ways to create a Welcoming
Theme

Top Tips by a Superhost & Design Editor

A welcoming theme creates coherence — details work together so the arrival feels intentional, calm, and memorable.

Feel free to borrow any of these ideas — they’re simply a starting point for making the arrival at your place feel more thoughtful and memorable, letterbox or not.
You can DIY your favourites, or ask us about them. As we’re in our early days, test-pilot pricing may be available for early orders.

Theme Tip 1.
Colour & Decor

If you don’t yet have a welcoming theme, start with your reviews, surroundings, and the small details guests already remember.

Boats, birds, cafés, bush, sunshine — these clues can guide your colour and décor choices, often in subtle ways.

We can also help shape your ideas into a clear, welcoming theme and help you find décor pieces that suit.

2. Names & Symbols

A welcoming name and simple graphic can help create a memorable identity.

Steer away from generic words and focus on what makes your place distinctive — location, outlook, character, or a small detail guests remember.

If you’d like help shaping a name or symbol, email us your listing details.

3. Welcoming Signs

Welcoming signs help set the tone before guests step inside.

This could be a bespoke sign designed to suit your theme, or a simpler letterbox in your chosen colours with clear signage.

A signboard that can be updated is also a fun option.

4. Handwritten
Welcome

Guests love a personalised welcome. At Big Sunny Farmhouse, they often write a thank you in return.

Choose between an A4 blackboard or whiteboard, both mounted on a simple timber base — easy to update between stays.

5. Welcome Treats

A small treats basket is an easy way to make guests feel considered.

This might include locally made edibles, or simple, good-quality lotions and toiletries.

Baskets are easy to source, and we can help you with a themed one and treat suggestions.

6. Business Cards

Business cards are useful for local cafés, tourist centres, or as a small takeaway for guests.

They can be produced simply and affordably, even in small runs.

7. Welcome Tips & House Manual

A simple house manual — even just a cover and one page — can make a big difference. You can create your own, adapt one of the many templates available online, or we can help tailor something that suits your place and style.

8. Distinctive Touches

Small, thoughtful touches help your place feel considered and cohesive.

Items like notebooks, towels, and key tags can reflect your theme and subtly remind guests of their stay — and sometimes encourage a return visit.

Please ask us about the many options

9. A Simple Website

Even a simple website can support direct bookings and provide useful information for guests.

It can include practical details, a password-protected page for cleaners or caretakers, and a clear sense of your place and style — without needing complex or expensive systems. Ask us.

10. More Welcoming Listing

Simple listing tweaks can help potential guests stop scrolling. This may include a brief review of your existing listing, or setup support for a new listing. The latter cost may covered through the Host Referral Program.

Photography or stylings quoted separately. Just ask.

Why Welcomes Matter

I’m an Airbnb Superhost and co-host with a background in interior design, advertising, and editing for major lifestyle magazines. I also host a hard-to-find Airbnb in Northern NSW, and early on I learned how much the arrival experience can affect reviews.

Luckily, I found a unique letterbox that acted as a clear signpost. From there, I created a visual theme that we carried through to the website and house manual. Creating a lovable, memorable identity made a big difference to our rating — and can make a difference to yours too.
