Our 2026 Nominations
1. Rising Star Award: Lachlan Bakes
We couldn’t be prouder of our very own Lachlan Bakes, Homhero’s Training & Support Team Leader. Lachlan has been nominated for the Rising Star Award, which recognises emerging leaders who are redefining the sector through bold innovation and exceptional execution.
To qualify, finalists must be in the early stages of their short-term rental career, demonstrate measurable progress, and influence. Lachlan’s dedication to empowering our users and his next-gen leadership style make him the perfect candidate for this honor.
2. Best Supplier Award: Homhero
For the second year running, Homhero is a finalist for the Best Supplier Award. This category acknowledges service providers that make a substantial impact on the short-term rental sector through pioneering software and automation.
We strive every day to build technology that enhances efficiency for property managers and improves the guest experience. Being a finalist again proves that we are moving in the right direction.
3. Best Marketing Award: Homhero
Branding and storytelling are at the heart of how we connect with you. We are honored to be nominated for the Marketing Award, which recognises the campaigns and initiatives that have most effectively driven brand awareness and growth through creativity.
