List on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo/Stayz, Google and more. Our multi-platform approach reaches business and leisure guests across Richmond and wider Melbourne, keeping occupancy steady year-round.
Richmond sits just 4km from Melbourne's CBD and punches well above its weight as a short-let hotspot. The suburb attracts three distinct guest types: international tourists exploring Melbourne's coffee culture and street art, corporate travellers needing flexible accommodation, and event-goers attending festivals and conferences across the city. Swan Street is the main drawcard, lined with independent restaurants, vintage shops, and bars that keep guests entertained without leaving the neighbourhood. The area has evolved significantly over the past decade, making it one of the most desirable inner-city suburbs. Most successful Richmond short-lets are one to three-bedroom apartments and renovated terrace houses. Period properties with character do particularly well, as do modern apartments with good natural light. Winter and summer see strong occupancy rates, though demand remains steady year-round. Event seasons push prices up noticeably. Corporate guests tend to book mid-week, whilst tourists favour weekends and school holidays. The rental market here is competitive but rewarding. Properties that are well-maintained, properly positioned, and actively managed consistently achieve high occupancy and strong nightly rates. Richmond offers the authenticity guests want without the premium prices of trendy inner-city suburbs.
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.
