Short-Term Rental Insights for Melbourne

With an ADR around A$233 and average occupancy of 66%, well-run Melbourne listings typically generate about A$56,159 in annual booking revenue. Demand is strongest in inner-city and tram-connected suburbs, with summer highs (Dec–Feb, January strongest) and spikes around the Australian Open, school holidays and bayside hotspots such as St Kilda/Port Melbourne. In peak weeks ADR usually runs ~30% above baseline (≈A$303). We optimise pricing, distribution and calendar strategy to keep calendars full; late autumn–winter is softer except during major events (e.g., Grand Prix, Moomba).
