Welcome to Vennu!
We’ve put together this short checklist to help you hit the ground running as a Vennu Host—and to give you a quick look at what Guests typically expect.
Getting Started
1. Set up your account
When creating your Vennu account:
- Use a role-based email address (like bookings@yourvenue.com) to protect your privacy and make it easier to hand over the account when you’re on leave or change roles.
- Add a mobile number for emergency or after-hours contact. This number will be visible to confirmed Guests only.
- Include your ABN and bank details so you can receive payments directly to your nominated account.

2. Create a listing
Make your listing complete, clear, and compelling. Be sure to include:
- The different types of events your space is perfect for.
- What people love about it—whether it’s the view, the cozy layout, or the location.
- A little history—what makes your space unique?
- Accurate location info, including suburb, nearby attractions, and surroundings.
✅ Don’t forget to use checkboxes to highlight the events you host, available amenities, and a bit about your organisation and mission.

3. Set your price
Guests often decide based on price, so do a quick comparison with similar spaces.
- Set a base price (hourly or daily, excluding GST).
- Add a simple cleaning fee.
- Include optional extras like AV equipment or furniture hire.
- Offer discounts for community members, repeat bookings, or long-term hires.
4. Upload your photos
Great photos attract great bookings!
- Add bright, clear photos that show off your space.
- Include different angles and room setups to help guests visualise.

5. Set up your calendar
Add your regular opening hours so guests can see when your space is available. This cuts down on back-and-forth and makes booking easier.

Be sure to attach your venue’s terms and conditions, including your cancellation policy, to each listing. This helps manage expectations from the start.
