Coolangatta sits at the southern tip of the Gold Coast on the New South Wales border, with Greenmount Beach, Rainbow Bay and Kirra along its shoreline and Gold Coast Airport a short drive north. Houst manages short-stay homes across the suburb, from beachfront apartments on Marine Parade to units and 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, surfers, couples and fly-in weekend visitors looking for a beachfront base at the southern end of the coast.
Our pricing data puts a two-bedroom, one-bathroom short stay in Coolangatta at an average of A$481 a night with 71% occupancy. That works out at around A$124,500 a year before costs. We took four readings across the suburb, on Griffith Street, Marine Parade, McLean Street and Dutton Street, and averaged them. Nightly rates ran from A$383 on McLean Street to A$547 on Marine Parade.
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 the airport keeps weekend and short-break 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.

Coolangatta suits short stays because guests get patrolled beaches, well-known surf breaks and an easy airport transfer in one place. Snapper Rocks and Kirra draw surfers through the year, Point Danger looks out over the border to Tweed Heads, and Griffith Street runs behind the beachfront with cafes, restaurants and shops.
Housing ranges from beachfront apartment towers on Marine Parade to low-rise units and older houses on the streets behind, which suit families, couples and longer winter stays. We manage across Coolangatta and the suburbs along the coast, including Palm Beach, Burleigh Heads, Mermaid Beach and Broadbeach. For the wider city, see Airbnb management on the Gold Coast.
