A two-bedroom short-term rental in Carlton earns around $282 a night at about 72% occupancy, which works out near $74,200 a year before costs. Carlton combines the international profile of Lygon Street -- Melbourne's famous Italian restaurant precinct -- with the academic demand generated by the University of Melbourne campus directly adjacent to the suburb. A professionally managed listing consistently outperforms self-managed properties through dynamic pricing, faster guest response and the review volume that lifts it up the rankings on Airbnb and Booking.com.
Visiting academics, prospective students and their families make up a significant share of bookings year-round, alongside leisure visitors drawn by the food culture and the Royal Exhibition Building. Demand holds steadily outside the summer peak given the university-driven base, making Carlton one of Melbourne's more consistent short-term rental markets across the calendar year.
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.
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.

Short-term rentals in Carlton are regulated under Victoria's short-term rental accommodation framework. All properties used for short-term stays must be registered with the Victorian government's short-term rental portal and meet the safety and amenity standards in the Short-Term Rental Accommodation Code of Conduct. Body corporate rules in apartment buildings may restrict or prohibit short-term letting. Rental income is taxable under Australian income tax rules and must be declared to the ATO. Our team manages compliance as part of the service, and you can read the full detail in our guide to Melbourne's short-term rental rules.
We manage short-term rentals across Carlton, from the Italian restaurants and cafes of Lygon Street to the Victorian terraces in the quieter residential streets closer to the university. Carlton's academic and culinary profile gives it a broader year-round booking base than many comparable inner suburbs. Houst also manages nearby in Fitzroy, Brunswick and across Melbourne.
