The commission is based on the property type and location
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 Victoria’s rules — no state night cap, but building and council requirements apply.
• Planning/permissions: Confirm your use with City of Greater Geelong; apartments must follow Owners Corporation rules (some OCs ban short-stays by 75% special resolution). Note PPR exemptions where relevant.
• Safety/building: Fit compliant smoke alarms (AS 3786), provide evacuation info, maintain EICR-style electrical checks and gas safety where applicable; keep maintenance records.
• Tax/records: From Victoria’s short-stay levy, 7.5% applies to stays <28 nights (often remitted by platforms). Keep ATO records for income/expenses; check GST/ABN needs if operating commercially.
