The commission is based on the property type and location
We multi-list on Airbnb, Booking.com, Stayz/VRBO and more, synced calendars and data-led pricing to maximise occupancy and ADR from one owner dashboard.
Across Australia’s major short-stay markets, well-run 1–3 bed homes typically achieve A$228–A$371 ADR and 59%–75% occupancy, delivering A$53.5k–A$92.1k annual gross. These are rolled-up city benchmarks; results vary by city, property and season.
Thousands of owners have handed over the day to day and kept the income. Here is what that looks like from the other side.
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.

Before you list, check state/council rules — requirements vary across Australia by location and building type.
• Planning/permissions: Confirm local planning with your council and any strata/Owners Corporation by-laws; some areas require registration (e.g., NSW STRA) or limit nights. Apartment buildings may restrict short-stays.
• Safety/building: Install compliant smoke alarms (AS 3786), provide evacuation info, maintain electrical and gas checks where applicable, and keep maintenance records.
• Tax/records: Keep ATO-ready income/expense records; the Victorian 7.5% short-stay levy applies to stays <28 nights. Review GST/ABN needs if operating commercially.
