Queenstown · Wānaka · Arrowtown
Websites & custom software for the Southern Lakes.
Booking flows, API integrations and internal tools for the tourism, hospitality, winery and trades businesses that run the Southern Lakes. Hand-coded by one senior engineer — no templates, no agency layers.
NZ-based · NZD · GST-registered · you own the code
Who it’s for
Built for the businesses that run Queenstown.
Tourism & activity operators
Take bookings on your own site and skip the 25–30% OTA commission. Wired into Rezdy, Bookeo or ResPax so availability stays live across both.
Accommodation & lodges
Direct booking off your PMS — Little Hotelier or SiteMinder — with no commission, on a site built to turn the enquiry into a stay.
Wineries & cellar doors
Cellar-door sales, wine clubs and subscriptions on a Shopify and headless CMS build that you own outright.
Hospitality & venues
Reservations, events and enquiries that land in your systems instead of a shared inbox nobody watches.
Trades & construction
Sites that bring in work, plus quoting and job portals wired to Tradify, NextMinute and Xero.
Anything that has outgrown its tools
Internal tools, dashboards and custom software for when the spreadsheet-and-plugins stack finally gives out.
What we solve
The problems that cost you the most are the ones a template can’t reach.
Commissions eating the margin
OTAs and booking platforms take a cut of every sale. Direct booking wired into the engine you already run keeps that money with you.
Systems that don’t talk
The website, the booking engine, the POS and Xero all sit apart, so you rekey the same data by hand. Connecting them is where the time comes back.
A template you’ve outgrown
Wix, Squarespace or an old WordPress got you off the ground, but the next thing your business needs is the one thing it can’t do.
Invisible in local search
No structured data, weak local signals and no Google Business presence mean the people searching your town land on someone else.
The difference
You talk to the person who writes the code.
Plenty of shops will build you a page and move on. Fewer can build the software behind it — the booking flow, the integration, the internal tool a growing Queenstown business runs on.
Tally Digital is a single senior engineer. Every project is hand-coded on a modern stack, every integration is real, and the code is yours to keep. No junior hand-off, no page-builder lock-in, no “who supports this now?”.
- Custom software, not templates
- Real API & booking integrations
- Modern stack — Next.js, Sanity, Supabase, Shopify
- You own the code and the accounts

FAQ
Questions, answered.
- Do you work with businesses in Queenstown, Wānaka and Arrowtown?
- Yes. Tally Digital is a New Zealand software studio working with businesses across the Queenstown-Lakes District and Central Otago, remotely and on-site as needed. Every project runs the same way: a clear scope, direct communication and code you own.
- Do you build booking systems for tourism and accommodation operators?
- Yes. We build direct-booking flows and connect them to the engine you already use — Rezdy, Bookeo, ResPax, Little Hotelier or SiteMinder — so you take bookings without commission and availability stays in sync.
- Custom build vs an off-the-shelf platform like Rezdy or Bookit — which do I need?
- Off-the-shelf platforms handle standard availability and payments well. A custom build makes sense when you need a specific booking experience, tighter integration with your other systems, or something the platform can’t do. We’ll tell you honestly which one fits, and often the answer is a mix of both.
- Are you a designer, a marketing agency, or a developer?
- A senior software engineer. That means custom software, real API integrations and applications, not a template or a monthly marketing retainer. You talk to the person who designs and writes the code, every time.
- How much does a project cost?
- It depends on scope — a focused website is a different job from a custom booking application. Rather than quote blind, we scope your actual problem first and give you a fixed price before any work starts. Start a project and we’ll come back with a clear number.
