About Kefi Escapes

Know where you are. Know what comes next.

Short-term rental can help you get more from a property you have worked hard to own, if you know what you are getting into. Kefi Escapes helps property owners understand what they need, avoid costly mistakes and make confident decisions at every stage of the journey.

The founder

Hi, I’m Işıl.

I’m the founder of Kefi Escapes: a property owner, interior designer, Airbnb Superhost and former short-term rental management business owner.

I started with my own Airbnb in 2018 and went on to build and operate a portfolio of 100 properties across Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Today, I still own and personally manage two Airbnbs. Kefi is where I share what I learned, so you can make better decisions without learning everything the hard way.

Sharing what I learned with you

Why Kefi?

The mentor I never had.

When I started, I didn’t have a mentor showing me what I didn’t know, or helping me prepare for the next step.

That’s what I want Kefi to give you: the knowledge to understand where you are, what you’re missing and what to do next, before you lose time or money learning the hard way.

The knowledge is here for everyone. And when you want more support, you’ll find practical tools and frameworks to help you go further.

Professionalise the operation. Not the soul of the property.
