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.
I have had a brilliant experience renting my property through Houst. Everyone has been very hands on and contactable which has really put me at ease.

Managing an Airbnb in Blackburn 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. Blackburn sits in the City of Whitehorse, 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 Melbourne 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.
Houst manages short-term rentals across Blackburn, from the townhouses and units near the station and the Whitehorse Road shops to the family homes on the leafy streets around Blackburn Lake Sanctuary. Family stays, business trips and visits to nearby Box Hill keep demand steady through the year.
