The commission is based on the property type and location
We list your Perth property on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Google, then optimise each listing and sync the calendars so you capture demand across every channel and avoid double bookings, right through the year.
A two-bed short let in central Perth earns around A$360 a night at about 77% occupancy, which works out near A$101,000 a year before costs. Those are among the strongest short-let returns in the country, helped by limited quality supply and steady visitor demand. A professionally managed listing tends to pull ahead of a self-managed one through dynamic pricing, faster guest response and the review volume that lifts a property up the rankings on Airbnb and Booking.com. Houst’s pricing system adjusts your rates daily against live demand, local events and competitor supply, which is where much of that gap opens up.
Perth’s short-let demand peaks over the warmer months from roughly October to April, when the city’s beaches, festivals and events draw the heaviest visitor numbers and nightly rates climb. The cooler months hold up better than many markets, propped up by business travel and a steady flow of interstate visitors. Major events through summer, from sport to live music, create reliable spikes that sharp pricing can capture.
That mix matters for owners. Bookings come from holidaymakers, corporate and longer-stay project workers, and interstate visitors, so a Perth property rarely leans on a single type of guest, and occupancy holds steadier across the year than in purely seasonal destinations. It also means there is rarely a long quiet stretch to absorb, which protects annual yield and makes income easier to forecast.

Houst works on a single commission, starting from 14% and set according to your property and its location. There are no upfront fees and no monthly charges. You only pay when we earn you a booking, so our income is tied directly to yours. That rate covers the full service: dynamic pricing, professional photography, listings across multiple platforms, guest vetting and communication, check-ins, cleaning and turnover coordination, and a dashboard that shows your performance in real time. No hidden extras, no surprise line items, just one transparent percentage on the revenue we generate. For owners weighing up management against doing it themselves, or running more than one property, that structure keeps the maths simple: you can see your likely net return after our fee before committing a cent. If you already manage your own listing, we can model the difference our pricing and occupancy typically make, so the call rests on numbers rather than guesswork. Get your free estimate
Short lets in Perth fall under Western Australia’s Short-Term Rental Accommodation (STRA) rules. Hosts must register their property on the state STRA register and display the registration number, and unhosted rentals may need development approval from the local council, with some areas applying night caps or planning conditions. Standard requirements around safety, insurance and guest records apply, and income is assessable for tax. The rules have tightened in recent years and continue to evolve, so it pays to stay current. Our team manages compliance as part of the service, and you can read the detail in our guide to Perth’s short-term rental rules.
We manage short lets right across Perth and the surrounding suburbs. In the centre that covers the apartments and nightlife of the Perth CBD and Northbridge, where business travel and event demand run close to year-round. Along the coast, Scarborough and Cottesloe pull strong holiday bookings through the warmer months, with beachside stays commanding some of the highest nightly rates in the city. Inland, Fremantle’s port-city character and heritage streets draw tourists and weekend visitors, while Subiaco’s restaurants, shopping and sport keep demand ticking over outside peak season. Wherever your property sits, our local team handles Airbnb management in Perth from end to end, from listing and pricing through to cleaning and turnover.
Houst also manages properties in other Australian cities. See our pages for Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, or our full Airbnb management in Australia coverage.
