From Weekend-Only Referrals to Always-On Revenue
Neervana Resort, Sakleshpur
The Challenge
In 2021, fresh out of the pandemic, Neervana Resort had just opened its doors — but its revenue model was struggling to stand on its own feet. Weekend bookings were limited to friends and family, and a basic HTML website with an inquiry form did little to support online bookings or professional credibility.
Despite their investment in a freelance developer, they lacked a true digital strategy, and their debt obligations loomed large. Guests had to call to book. Payments were manual. Occupancy during the week was dismal.
The TeraStay Intervention
What started as a consultation quickly evolved into a full-stack transformation. Then operating as Thumb360, we took on the challenge of turning Neervana’s digital presence into a fully bookable, conversion-focused platform.
New Website
Custom WordPress design under neervanaresort.in with integrated booking engine
PMS & Channel Manager Setup
Ezee Absolute (later migrated to BookingJini to save costs)
OTA Sync
Makemytrip, Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, and more — with smart price advantages for direct bookings
Payment Gateway
Razorpay for instant, seamless online payments
Photo & Video Shoot
Professional visual assets to elevate the property’s appeal
Google Virtual Tour
Full 360° walkthrough experience for every room
Digital Campaigns
SEO + Google Ads (Search & Display) & Meta Ads ( Facebook + Instagram)
Custom Packages
Year-end and NYE campaigns that created market buzz
Ongoing Support
Full marketing and booking management (zero in-house marketing staff needed)
The Results
The owners — busy professionals — now run the entire property through a mobile app, from revenue tracking to pricing, all managed by one admin staff and TeraStay as their virtual team.
They consistently rank:
75% Occupancy
With just 20 rooms and a 70-guest capacity, Neervana now runs at an ADR of ₹8,000 and maintains 75%+ occupancy, with 50% of their bookings now coming direct — and half of those via their own website.
