Grow Your Book Direct Bookings with Breakz’s Newest Sites

Introducing Gourmet Holiday Rentals and UK Holiday Rentals to Our Book Direct Family

At Breakz, our mission has always been clear: empower property owners to take back control of their holiday rentals by offering cutting-edge book direct solutions that eliminate third-party interference. We’re proud to announce the launch of two new curated book direct websitesGourmet Holiday Rentals and UK Holiday Rentals — expanding the Breakz portfolio and creating more targeted opportunities for owners to book directly with travellers.

In this blog, we’ll dive into what each new site represents, who we’re aiming to attract, and how you, as a property owner or manager, can maximise your exposure, increase bookings, and boost your profitability with Breakz. We’ll also revisit all our other curated sites, each purpose-built to match specific guest interests with the right accommodation.

Let’s get started.

The Breakz Vision: Powering Direct Connections

Breakz was born from a desire to revolutionise the way property owners manage their holiday rental businesses. Our platform offers easy-to-use book direct solutions, integrated with powerful tools to manage listings, availability, rates, and communications seamlessly. Property owners can list on their own dedicated book direct website, or gain exposure by featuring on one or more of our curated niche websites.

The goal is simple: let guests book directly, book with the owner, and enjoy personalised, transparent experiences — all while owners keep more of their hard-earned revenue.

Our expansion with Gourmet Holiday Rentals and UK Holiday Rentals takes this vision even further.
