Kiama sits on the NSW South Coast around two hours south of Sydney, with its harbour, the Kiama Blowhole and a string of beaches running down to Gerringong. Houst manages short lets across the area, from apartments and cottages near Terralong Street and the harbour to family houses near Werri Beach in Gerringong, and handles pricing, guests and cleaning so you earn without the day-to-day work.

List on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Stayz and more. Listing on several platforms reaches Sydney families on weekends away, couples on coastal breaks, summer holidaymakers and visitors driving the South Coast.
Our pricing data puts a two-bedroom, one-bathroom short let in Kiama at an average of A$536 a night with 70% occupancy. That works out at around A$137,000 a year before costs. We took four readings across the area, on Terralong Street, Manning Street and Bong Bong Street in Kiama and Belinda Street in Gerringong, and averaged them. Nightly rates ran from A$494 on Belinda Street in Gerringong to A$562 on Terralong Street in Kiama.
Demand peaks in December and January with summer and the school holidays, and long weekends bring Sydney visitors south all year. Weekdays are quieter in winter, so weekend and weekly rates matter. Figures will vary with size, finish and distance from the beach.

Kiama is a classic coastal weekend from Sydney, and demand follows the weather and the school calendar. The Kiama Blowhole and the harbour draw day-trippers into town, the Kiama Coast Walk and the beaches at Gerringong and Gerroa bring walkers and families, and Jamberoo Action Park keeps children busy in summer. Trains on the South Coast Line run straight to Kiama, and summer, Easter and long weekends are the busiest times.
We also manage across NSW, including the Central Coast, the Hunter Valley, Bondi and Coogee. For the rest of the state, see Airbnb management in New South Wales.
