Barefoot & Board

Designed for downtime & deadlines

Barefoot & Board gives you space to live well. Simple, calm, and considered serviced apartments that move with you – from day to night, work to rest, solo to social. Effortlessly.

Whether you’re here to work, relax, explore, or all of the above — stay somewhere that gets it.

Stay with Barefoot & Board.


Welcome to Barefoot & Board — where comfort meets character, and every stay feels like a little step above the ordinary.

We’re a short to medium-term rental company that’s passionate about offering more than just a place to rest your head. Our properties are carefully chosen in desirable locations — the kind of places you’ll want to explore, relax in, or maybe even extend your stay a little longer for.

But here’s the thing: a great location is just the beginning.

We believe comfort should be a given — plush bedding, tasteful decor, and all the practical touches that make a space feel like home. But then we take it up a notch. At Barefoot & Board, we serve up attentive service and impeccable attention to detail, all with a smile (and maybe a cheeky little flourish, too).

We don’t just want you to stay — we want you to feel looked after. Whether you’re here for a few days or a few months, we’ve got you covered with thoughtfully designed spaces, responsive support, and a vibe that says: “go ahead, kick your shoes off — you’re home now.”

Because life’s too short for bad coffee, lumpy mattresses, or boring stays.

So come stay with us — and experience the Barefoot & Board difference.

Who We Are

Barefoot & Board was founded by Emma and Jamie — partners in life and now in property — blending hands-on experience with heart, hard work, and a sharp eye for what makes a house feel like home.

Jamie brings over 30 years of expertise as a professional decorator, with a long-standing business and a reputation for quality craftsmanship. He knows what it takes to keep a property looking sharp, stylish, and showroom-ready — and he doesn’t cut corners.

Emma, with 15 years as a social worker, brings professionalism, calm under pressure, and a deep understanding of people. She’s worked in high-stakes environments with a wide range of professionals, and her approach is grounded, thoughtful, and full of heart.

She also happens to have a seriously creative streak — from jewellery-making to textured art and interiors, Emma has a love for design that shines through in every property we present. Her warmth, eye for detail, and genuine care are behind everything we do — and it shows.

As long-time landlords, we know the highs and lows — from late rent and leaky taps to the frustration of homes not being properly cared for. That’s exactly why we built Barefoot & Board: to do things differently.

We’re parents. We’re professionals. And we’ve built a business on honesty, consistency, and quality, where properties are looked after properly, guests feel right at home, and landlords can finally take a step back — knowing everything’s in good hands.

Wow what a gem of a place! Beautifully newly decorated, super clean with everything you need. The kitchen had a lot of gadgets and utensils and a great coffee machine. The beds were super comfy with gorgeous bedding. Lots of lovely touches such as USB chargers next to the bed, books and games etc. all in all, a very classy place and I would have no hesitation recommending to others - you won't be disappointed! - Thanks Emma!
