The commission is based on the property type and location
List on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo/Stayz, Google and more. Our multi-platform approach reaches business and leisure guests across Docklands and wider Melbourne, keeping occupancy steady year-round.
Docklands has become one of Melbourne's most sought-after short-let destinations. The precinct draws three distinct guest types: corporate professionals attending conferences and business meetings, international tourists exploring Victoria's cultural attractions, and event attendees visiting during peak seasons. The area's proximity to the CBD, riverside dining and entertainment venues makes it naturally appealing to these groups. Properties in Docklands range from modern one-bedroom apartments to spacious two and three-bedroom units. Most are newly built or recently renovated, with contemporary finishes that appeal to quality-conscious guests. High-rise developments dominate the landscape, offering city views and premium amenities like gyms, concierge services and secure parking. Demand remains strong throughout the year. Summer brings leisure tourists, whilst autumn and winter attract corporate bookings and conference attendees. The precinct hosts major events regularly, creating predictable spikes in bookings. Average stay lengths vary: corporates typically book 3-7 nights, whilst tourists stay longer at 5-10 nights. For property owners, Docklands offers reliable occupancy rates and higher nightly rates compared to many Melbourne suburbs. The professional demographic and tourism appeal provide a stable income foundation. Managing these guests effectively requires attention to detail, responsive communication and understanding what different traveller types need.

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.
