Platform
Cape Mesa
Direct-booking platform for a collection of private villas on Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard — live availability from Guesty, on-site card payment, automated invoicing and the operations layer behind it.
The challenge
Cape Mesa needed international guests to book and pay on its own site, in rand, without being redirected to a third-party checkout — while the finance team needed every booking to arrive as a numbered invoice, reconciled automatically, with the property-management system as the single source of truth.
The approach
A React and Supabase platform integrated with Guesty for availability and reservations, Stitch for on-page card payment, and an invoice pipeline that issues sequential invoices and reconciles payments without manual work. Guest enquiries, payment links and check-out invoices all run through the same system, so nothing is re-keyed between the website, the PMS and the books.
The result
Live since October 2026: direct bookings and payments flow straight into Guesty and the ledger, with payment links for PMS-originated bookings and check-out invoices with extras following within weeks of launch.
From the collection to a confirmed stay, on capemesa.com, in rand — nothing hands off to a third-party checkout.
