Bundall sits just west of Surfers Paradise across the Nerang River, with canal-front homes, a busy business district along Bundall Road and the Gold Coast Turf Club at its centre. Houst manages short-stay homes across the suburb, from waterfront houses to modern apartments and townhouses, 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, racegoers, business travellers and longer stays looking for a quieter base a short drive from the beach.
Our pricing data puts a two-bedroom, one-bathroom short stay in Bundall at an average of A$339 a night with 73% occupancy. That works out at around A$90,000 a year before costs. We took four readings across the suburb, on Bundall Road, Crombie Avenue, Slatyer Avenue and Racecourse Drive, and averaged them. Nightly rates ran from A$314 on Slatyer Avenue to A$361 on Crombie Avenue.
Demand peaks over the summer school holidays from December to January, when the Magic Millions carnival also fills the suburb. Easter and the winter months bring visitors escaping the cold in the southern states, and midweek business travel keeps the calendar 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.

Bundall suits short stays because guests get a quiet, central base a few minutes from the beaches and nightlife of Surfers Paradise. The Gold Coast Turf Club hosts race meetings through the year, including the Magic Millions carnival every January, and the offices along Bundall Road bring business travellers during the week. Canal-front homes give larger groups space, a pool and water views away from the high-rise strip.
Housing ranges from canal-front family homes to newer apartments and townhouses near the business district, which suit families, groups, couples and longer work stays. We manage across Bundall and the suburbs around it, including Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Southport and Mermaid Beach. For the wider city, see Airbnb management on the Gold Coast.

Most full-service Airbnb managers charge a percentage of booking revenue rather than a flat fee. Houst charges 14% for full-time management and 20% for part-time in Bundall. That covers listing setup, professional photography, dynamic pricing, guest messaging and cleaning coordination.
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 Bundall, where guests compare listings across the Gold Coast, getting those few things right drives most of your bookings. Houst handles all of them for you.
Not always. On the Gold Coast, most low-impact short stays in dwelling houses are generally acceptable, but some properties and uses may need a planning approval. Check your property's zone and overlays in the City of Gold Coast Planning Scheme. If your property is in a body corporate, check the by-laws and get written approval where short-term letting is restricted.
Some markets have more listings than demand, but results vary by suburb and by how well a listing is run. In Bundall, our pricing data puts a two-bedroom short stay at A$339 a night with 73% occupancy, or around A$90,000 a year before costs. Well-priced listings with strong photos and good reviews hold their own.
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.
