A well-run two-bedroom in Sydney CBD earns around $609 a night at about 84% occupancy, which works out near $186,800 a year before costs. Sydney CBD and The Rocks sit at the top of the Sydney short-term rental market for nightly rate, driven by Harbour views, proximity to the Opera House and Circular Quay, and consistent demand from the financial district's business traveller base.
New Year's Eve pushes rates to their annual peak as Harbour foreground properties become among the most sought-after short-term rentals in Australia. Summer from December through February delivers the highest leisure demand, while corporate weekday occupancy keeps booking volume steady through the shoulder months and into winter.
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.

Short-term rentals in Sydney CBD are regulated under New South Wales planning rules and the NSW Short-Term Rental Accommodation framework. Properties used for short-term stays as non-hosted accommodation are subject to a 180-night cap in Greater Sydney unless an exemption applies. Properties must meet fire safety and amenity standards, and owners in strata buildings should check by-law restrictions before listing. Rental income is taxable under Australian income tax rules and must be declared to the ATO. Our team manages compliance as part of the service, and you can read the full detail in our guide to Sydney's short-term rental rules.
Sydney CBD and The Rocks sit at the top of Sydney's short-term rental market for nightly rate.

New Year's Eve pushes rates to the annual peak, and corporate weekday demand sustains strong occupancy year-round. The highest ADR in the Sydney cluster at A$574 reflects consistent premium demand across both leisure and business segments.
