Sydney CBD and The Rocks sit at the top of Sydney's short-let market for nightly rate. Harbour views, proximity to the Opera House and Circular Quay, and strong corporate demand from the financial district drive consistent high-rate bookings. Summer peaks from December to February push rates well above the annual average.



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.
