Bilinga is a narrow beach suburb on the southern Gold Coast, wedged between the ocean and Gold Coast Airport, with Kirra and Coolangatta just to the south. Houst manages short-stay homes across the suburb, from beachfront apartments on Pacific Parade to low-rise units and beach houses on the streets behind, 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, couples, airline crews, work travellers and longer winter stays looking for a beachfront base minutes from the terminal.
Our pricing data puts a two-bedroom, one-bathroom short stay in Bilinga at an average of A$450 a night with 70% occupancy. That works out at around A$115,000 a year before costs. We took four readings across the suburb, on Pacific Parade, Golden Four Drive, Oriana Street and Wollumbin Street, and averaged them. Nightly rates ran from A$395 on Pacific Parade to A$498 on Oriana Street and Wollumbin Street.
Demand peaks over the summer school holidays from December to January, when families fill the beachfront. Easter and the winter months bring visitors escaping the cold in the southern states, and airport travellers and work stays keep midweek demand 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.

Bilinga suits short stays because guests can land and be on the beach within minutes. The patrolled beach runs the length of the suburb, the surf at Kirra is a short walk south, and the university campus beside the airport brings visiting staff and students through the year.
Housing ranges from beachfront apartments on Pacific Parade to low-rise units and beach houses on the streets between the beach and the airport, which suit families, couples, work travellers and longer winter stays. We manage across Bilinga and the suburbs around it, including Coolangatta, Tugun, Currumbin and Palm Beach. For the wider city, see Airbnb management on the Gold Coast.

It depends on how much of the work you hand over. Our pricing data puts a two-bedroom short stay in Bilinga at around A$115,000 a year before costs. At Houst's 14% full-time rate that is about A$16,100 a year in fees, or about A$23,000 at the 20% part-time rate, and the fee moves with what the property actually earns.
It is the idea that most of your results come from a small share of the work: pricing, photos, fast replies and clean, well-reviewed stays. In Bilinga, where guests range from beach holidays to one-night airport stays, pricing short midweek stays as carefully as summer weeks drives most of your bookings. Houst handles all of it for you.
Most full-service managers charge a percentage of booking revenue, and fees vary with how much of the work they take on. Check what the percentage covers and whether setup, cleaning or maintenance are charged on top. Houst charges 14% for full-time management and 20% for part-time in Bilinga.
Common red flags include a new account with no reviews or verification, requests to pay or talk outside the platform, vague answers about the purpose of the stay, and last-minute bookings for large groups in a small home. Houst screens every guest before check-in and keeps all messages on the platform.
Running a short stay takes work: pricing, guest messages, cleans and repairs between every booking. Income moves with the seasons, and costs such as cleaning, furnishing and insurance come out before profit. Homes near the airport see more one-night stays, which means more cleans per month. Houst handles the day-to-day work for you.
