MonolociEvery guest asks the same question.
Right now the answer is a brochure rack and your website.
“What is there to do around here?” Today your guests get a printed rack, a Google search, or a well-meaning list at reception, — but they are all static. A Monoloci guest journey turns that moment into your advantage: a curated trail of 10 to 20 handpicked local places, playable in the app, exclusive to people staying with you, opened with a code only your guests have.
Why this works for accommodation
Most accommodation marketing competes on room photos and price. A guest-exclusive local journey competes on experience — the thing travellers actually remember and recommend.
Win the booking
A branded, guest-only journey is a concrete, memorable point of difference on your website and your listings. The venue next door does not have one.
Extend the stay
When guests can see a trail of good things to do nearby, “one night” becomes “let us stay another”. More to do means more nights booked.
Solve the concierge problem
Reception stops fielding the same “what is around here?” question. The journey answers it around the clock, consistently.
Delight without effort
We build and maintain the journey. You share a link or a QR code. No app to build, no content to write, no ongoing admin.
Support local
Your journey showcases the businesses and nature around you, which strengthens community ties and makes your venue the hub of the local experience.
Ancillary value
With Rewards, guests unlock deals at partner venues. With Competition, local businesses donate prizes for the exposure. Value flows without extra cost to you.
How a guest journey works
Your journey is a curated set of real, nearby locations — nature, food, tours, services and hidden gems — chosen to suit your guests. We design, write and build it. Your venue is the branded host throughout.
Only your guests get in
At booking confirmation, in pre-arrival emails, or by a QR code at check-in and in-room, guests unlock your journey. It is not available to anyone who is not staying with you.
A stop is a story, not a pin
Each stop carries a short bio, photos and a map. Stops can be gamified so guests unlock a location by visiting it, which makes discovery feel like play.
Reception gets a better conversation
A full, curated list of things to do keeps guests in the area, and brings them back to the desk excited rather than bored.
Optional, on the Rewards tier
Arriving at a partner venue unlocks a coupon or a discount, verified by GPS proximity or a QR check-in at the counter.
Optional, on the Signature tier
Guests who visit a set number of stops are entered into a prize draw, stocked with products donated by the participating businesses.
A feature guests notice, before and during the stay
- On your website & listings“Every guest gets our exclusive local adventure — 15 handpicked places most visitors never find.” A reason to choose you.
- In pre-arrival emailsBuilds anticipation, and gets guests planning their stay, and their extra nights, before they even arrive.
- At check-in & in-roomA QR code turns the quiet first evening into “let us plan tomorrow” rather than “what now?”.
- After they leaveA memorable, shareable experience drives reviews and word of mouth, which is the cheapest marketing there is.
Three ways to run it
Start light with a motel or park testing the idea, or make it a signature part of a flagship venue’s brand. Your branding is included on every tier.

How the commercials sit
- Annual licence plus a one-off build. Figures are AUD and exclude GST.
- Partner businesses supply the offers and the prizes at no cost to you, in exchange for guest foot traffic and exposure.
- You administer none of it. We handle unlocks, verification, entries and the draw; you choose the theme and the partners.
- Coupons and competition prizes can also be a code or voucher for a future stay at your own venue.
- Council-run parks can be structured to suit procurement or a tourism grant round.
What you actually decide
The theme of the journey, which local places you want featured, which businesses you would like as reward partners, and which tier fits. Everything after that is ours.
Rewards and Competition, if you want them
Rewards turn the journey into real savings
Stops can carry a guest-only offer — a coffee on arrival, a percentage off a tour, a free tasting. Guests unlock the deal by checking in at the venue by GPS or QR, and every redemption is tracked, so you and the partner both see exactly what the journey delivered. It positions your venue as the guest’s local insider, and gives partner businesses measurable foot traffic in return for the offer.
Competition makes exploring a game worth playing
Guests who visit a set number of stops are entered into a prize draw. Participating local businesses donate a product or an experience as the prize, in exchange for the exposure of being featured. Guests get a reason to explore further and stay longer, partner businesses get promotion and visits, and your venue hosts the whole thing. Draws can run per season, per month, or around a local event.
Coupons unlock at milestone counts. Four stops for one reward, eight for another.
Promoting it takes about an hour
Promotion is light-touch by design. We hand you a ready-made co-marketing kit, brand-matched to your venue, and you drop it into the channels you already use.
Booking & pre-arrival emails
A short blurb plus the link and QR code we supply, added to your confirmation and “see you soon” emails.
Your website
A banner and a few lines highlighting the exclusive guest journey as a booking feature.
In-room & reception
Printed QR cards, on the Signature tier, so guests unlock the journey the moment they arrive.
Social & reviews
Optional posts and prompts we provide, to encourage sharing and reviews after the stay.
