Brunswick East sits in Melbourne's inner north, between Lygon Street and Merri Creek, with cafes, restaurants and newer apartment blocks along its main road. Houst manages short-stay homes across the suburb, from Edwardian cottages to modern apartments, 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 couples, gig-goers, visiting families and longer work stays looking for a base in the inner north.
Our pricing data puts a two-bedroom, one-bathroom short stay in Brunswick East at an average of A$302 a night with 70% occupancy. That works out at around A$77,500 a year before costs. We took four readings across the suburb, on Lygon Street, Albert Street, Glenlyon Road and Stewart Street, and averaged them. Nightly rates ran from A$276 on Glenlyon Road to A$318 on Stewart Street.
Demand peaks in summer, from December to February, when the Australian Open and festival season fill the city. Melbourne Cup week in November and the AFL finals in September bring further spikes, and the cafes and restaurants of Lygon Street keep weekends busy through the year. 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.

Before you list, check the rules that apply to your property. Brunswick East sits in the City of Merri-bek, 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 Merri-bek 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.
Brunswick East suits short stays because guests get a lively local strip and an easy run into the city. Trams on Lygon Street and Nicholson Street run to the CBD, and the Merri Creek Trail follows the eastern edge of the suburb for walkers and cyclists. CERES Community Environment Park, with its market and cafe, sits beside the creek.
Housing ranges from Victorian and Edwardian cottages on the side streets to newer apartments along Lygon Street, which suit couples, families and longer work stays. We manage across Brunswick East and the suburbs around it, including Brunswick, Fitzroy North, Carlton North and Thornbury. For the wider city, see Airbnb management in Melbourne.
