Common Questions

We’re here to answer all your questions and make sure you feel confident and informed every step of the way.

What is short-term rental management?

Short-term rental management means a manager runs your furnished property as a holiday or short-stay rental for you. As your Airbnb management company, we handle listings, pricing, guest messages, cleaning, maintenance and payouts, so you earn from your property without the day-to-day work.

Should I manage my Airbnb myself or hire an Airbnb property manager?

Managing it yourself saves the fee, but it means pricing every night, answering guests at all hours, and organising cleaners and repairs. An Airbnb property manager handles all of that for a share of each booking. Ours is 15%, all in, and good pricing and reviews usually earn back more than the fee. If you have the time and live nearby, self-managing can work. If not, a manager is usually the better return.

How much are Airbnb management fees on the Gold Coast?

Our fee is 15% of each booking, all in. Guests pay a cleaning fee on top, which depends on the size of the property. When you compare managers, check whether their percentage includes GST, linen, restocking and setup, as these are often charged on top of the headline rate.

How will you market my property? What platforms do you use?

We list your property across all the major booking channels, including Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Google, plus direct bookings and corporate and mid-term stays. Every listing gets professional photography and a description written to stand out, and our pricing is updated daily for each channel. Being visible in more places means more bookings, especially in the quieter months, and less reliance on any single platform.

What costs are involved in setting up the property for rental?

Apart from professional photography (about $200–$300), there are no setup costs. We set everything up for you. The property needs to be well furnished, and we'll advise you on that at our first inspection.

What types of property do you manage?

Apartments and units from studios to sub-penthouses, plus holiday homes, townhouses and waterfront houses across the Gold Coast. We also manage apartments in hotel-branded and on-site managed buildings for owners who want to leave the letting pool.

Do I need council approval?

Apartments in buildings approved for short stays usually don't need anything extra, and body corporate by-laws can't ban short stays in most schemes. Houses often need council approval for short-term accommodation. You can look up existing approvals for an address on the City of Gold Coast's Development.i, and check whether you need a development application. Or ask us for a free check with your rental estimate.

Can I still use my property?

Yes. Block your dates in the owner portal any time. Many owners keep a few weeks a year for themselves and let the rest.

What areas do you service?

We manage short-term rentals across the Gold Coast, including Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Southport, Mermaid Beach, Miami, Burleigh Heads, Palm Beach and Coolangatta. See how they compare for rental demand in our Gold Coast suburb guide.
