Albert Park sits between the city and the bay, with Albert Park Lake, a long stretch of beach and the shops and cafes of Bridport Street and Victoria Avenue. Houst manages short-stay homes across the suburb, from Victorian terraces to bayside apartments, and handles pricing, guests and cleaning so you earn without the day-to-day work.

Our pricing data puts a two-bedroom, one-bathroom short stay in Albert Park at an average of A$328 a night with 70% occupancy. That works out at around A$83,500 a year before costs. We took four readings across the suburb, on Victoria Avenue, Bridport Street, Dundas Place and Page Street, and averaged them. Nightly rates ran from A$289 on Victoria Avenue to A$368 on Bridport Street.
Demand peaks in summer, from December to February, when the Australian Open and festival season fill the city and the beach is at its busiest. The Grand Prix at Albert Park in March is the standout week here, and Melbourne Cup week in November and the AFL finals in September bring further spikes. Figures will vary with size, finish and exact location. See how the suburb compares in our Melbourne Airbnb earnings guide.



The team is professional, responsive, and truly understands what it takes to manage short-term rentals effectively.


I’ve been incredibly lucky with Alex Taylor: professional, friendly, and always helpful. He’s handled everything brilliantly - I’d give him 6 stars if I could.


For the past year, my Houst contact has been incredibly helpful - coordinating repairs, upgrades, and even being on-site when needed. Super reliable and accommodating.


The staff is available 24/7. Messages sent are replied to very quickly. The information about the properties is detailed and clear. Everything goes very smoothly.


The house is well maintained and clean, the dashboard provides up to date and historical information & the guests are taken care of.

Managing an Airbnb in Albert Park means pricing, guest messages, cleans and maintenance, every week. Houst handles all of it from 14% for full-time management or 20% for part-time, so you keep the income without the workload.
Before you list, check the rules that apply to your property. Albert Park sits in the City of Port Phillip, and Victoria's statewide rules apply in full.
Levy. Victoria charges a 7.5% short-stay levy on stays of under 28 nights. Platforms such as Airbnb usually collect it, and your principal place of residence is exempt. Read our guide to the Victorian short-stay levy.
No night cap. Victoria has no statewide limit on how many nights a year you can let a home.
Owners corporations. Apartment buildings can ban short stays by special resolution, with 75% of lot owners in favour. A ban cannot apply to a lot that is the owner's or occupier's principal place of residence. Check your building's rules before you list.
Planning and tax. Confirm your address against the Port Phillip planning scheme, especially in heritage overlay areas, and declare your rental income to the ATO. Full detail is in our Melbourne short-term rental rules guide.
Albert Park suits short stays because guests get the beach, the lake and the city in one place. The 96 light rail stops in the suburb on its way into the CBD, and the beach along Beaconsfield Parade is a short walk from most streets. The Australian Grand Prix brings the biggest crowds each March, and the lake and the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre draw visitors through the year. Weekends fill with guests heading to the cafes around Dundas Place and the foreshore.
Housing ranges from Victorian terraces and Italianate villas in the heritage streets to apartments along the foreshore, which suit couples, families and longer work stays alike. We manage across Albert Park and its neighbours, including South Melbourne, Port Melbourne, St Kilda and Southbank. For the wider city, see Airbnb management in Melbourne.
