Benowa is a leafy residential suburb inland from Surfers Paradise, set along the Nerang River with canal-front streets and the RACV Royal Pines Resort and golf course on its western side. Houst manages short-stay homes across the suburb, from river-front houses with pools to townhouses and low-rise units, and handles pricing, guests and cleaning so you earn without the day-to-day work.

The commission is based on the property type and location
List on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo/Stayz, Google and more. Listing on several platforms reaches holidaying families, golf groups, larger parties and longer winter stays looking for more space and a quieter base a short drive from the beach.
Our pricing data puts a two-bedroom, one-bathroom short stay in Benowa at an average of A$311 a night with 71% occupancy. That works out at around A$80,000 a year before costs. We took four readings across the suburb, on Ashmore Road, Benowa Road, Ross Street and Heeb Street, and averaged them. Nightly rates ran from A$263 on Ashmore Road to A$372 on Heeb Street.
Demand peaks over the summer school holidays from December to January, when families book larger homes close to the beach. Easter and the winter months bring visitors escaping the cold in the southern states, and golf breaks and group stays keep weekends steady through the rest of the year. Figures will vary with size, finish and exact location. See how the suburb compares in our Gold Coast Airbnb earnings guide.

Benowa suits short stays because guests get bigger homes, quiet streets and river views, with Surfers Paradise and the beach a short drive east. The resort golf course draws golf breaks and events through the year, and the river and canals give many homes a waterfront outlook and space for families to spread out.
Housing is mostly detached family homes, many on the river or canals, with townhouses and low-rise units on the main roads through the suburb. These suit families, larger groups and longer winter stays. We manage across Benowa and the suburbs around it, including Bundall, Surfers Paradise, Southport and Mermaid Waters.
