The commission is based on the property type and location
We list on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo/Stayz and more, syncing calendars and pricing from one dashboard. Surfers Paradise has clear event-driven demand spikes worth pricing around: Schoolies week in November fills the strip at above-average nightly rates, Magic Millions in January draws a premium short-break crowd, and the GC500 in October drives sharp demand across the beachside suburbs. We set firm minimum nights and rate floors during each window, then price mid-week gaps competitively to keep occupancy moving between events.
A two-bedroom short-term rental in Surfers Paradise earns around A$389 a night at about 71% occupancy, which works out near A$101,000 a year before costs. Surfers Paradise is the Gold Coast's most iconic beach destination, drawing domestic and international visitors year-round with its beachfront strip, entertainment precinct and high-rise apartment skyline. Strong demand from major events including Schoolies Week in November, Magic Millions in January and the summer holiday period sustains occupancy above the Gold Coast average.
The team is professional, responsive, and truly understands what it takes to manage short-term rentals effectively.

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.

Before you list, check the local rules. On the Gold Coast, compliance usually comes down to zoning/approvals, building & fire safety, strata/lease permissions, and tax reporting. Use the full rules guide for details.

The Surfers Paradise market is predominantly high-rise apartments, and performance varies significantly by floor, view and building. Beachfront and ocean-view units command the strongest premiums.
