Airbnb Management in Brisbane

Airbnb management in Brisbane

We manage 50 short-stay properties in Brisbane. It is a smaller book than Melbourne and it behaves differently: the weather removes the winter trough that southern markets live with, and the demand profile leans more towards leisure and events than weekday corporate stays.

The rating category that catches owners out

Brisbane City Council rates short-stay properties under a separate transitory accommodation category, which applies once a whole property is offered for short stays for more than 60 days a year. Owner-occupiers letting a spare room are not affected. This is a change to your rates bill, not a permit, and it is the single number most Brisbane owners do not find out about until it arrives. We factor it into the figures we give you before you list.

On the permit question: in May 2026 the council decided not to proceed with its proposed short stay accommodation local law, so there is currently no council permit to hold in Brisbane. Body corporate by-laws still apply and are checked building by building.

What we do here

Listing and channel management across Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia and Agoda, dynamic pricing adjusted for events and school holidays, 24-hour guest communication, guest vetting, an exit check after every stay, cleaning and hotel-grade linen by our own cleaners, maintenance through our own trades, and insurance-backed damage claims lodged for you. Guests pay the cleaning fee.

Fees and terms

Same structure as every other city we operate in: 18% of rental income plus GST, a one-off $880 including GST to get the property listed, no minimum term, and unlimited free use of your own property. Full service detail is on property management.
