List on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo/Stayz, Google and more. Our multi-platform approach reaches business and leisure guests across Melbourne CBD and wider Melbourne, keeping occupancy steady year-round.
Melbourne CBD is a thriving hub for short-let accommodation. The city attracts millions of visitors annually, from international tourists exploring iconic laneways and cultural institutions to corporate professionals attending conferences and business events. Summer brings festival season. Spring hosts the Australian Open and Cup Week. Winter draws theatre-goers and shoppers to the precinct. Property types vary widely here. You'll find modern apartments in converted warehouses, boutique studios in heritage buildings, and spacious multi-bedroom units. Most successful properties sit within walking distance of Flinders Street, the CBD shopping district, or key cultural venues. Typical guests split between leisure travellers seeking authentic Melbourne experiences and corporate clients requiring short-term accommodation during business visits. Event-driven demand peaks during major sporting fixtures and cultural festivals. The short-let market in Melbourne CBD operates year-round, though occupancy rates tend to spike during peak tourism seasons and special events. Properties that are well-positioned, professionally managed, and competitively priced perform strongest. For property owners, understanding local demand patterns and guest preferences is essential to maximising occupancy and rental rates.
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.
