We’ll send a custom appraisal within 24 hours, with grounded projections for your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the management fee include?

Everything it takes to run your property day to day: a dedicated area manager, listing and bookings management across all major platforms, dynamic pricing, guest vetting and 24/7 guest support, property inspections, maintenance coordination, household and toiletries packs, monthly account statements and payments, and EOFY statements.

How is my fee worked out?

Every quote is tailored to your property and what it needs. Your fee is a percentage of the income your property earns, so it’s only charged when you earn. We’ll set it out, along with any one-off setup costs and an earnings projection, before you sign anything.

Are there any upfront costs?

Only a few one-off setup costs before your first guest arrives: the first clean and bed setup (starting from $145, depending on the number of bedrooms), professional photography and profile creation, and any compliance your property needs, which we quote for your property. You’ll see all of these in your appraisal before you sign.

What isn’t included in the management fee?

Trade call-out fees and repairs, plus the usual owner costs like council rates and strata. We coordinate the trades for you and can pay these bills from your rental income, so you’re not chasing invoices. Every cost shows on your monthly account statement.

How am I charged?

Your management fee, and any costs we pay on your behalf, are deducted from your rental income before your monthly payment, so there are no separate bills to pay. The only exception is the one-off setup costs.

Do I pay anything if my property isn’t booked?

There’s no management fee. It’s only charged on income your property actually earns, so we only do well when you do. Costs like repairs or bills we pay for you still apply.

How do you price my property?

We use dynamic pricing. Nightly rates are benchmarked against similar listings near you, then adjusted as demand changes, factoring in seasonality, local events and how far ahead guests are booking. Our local team works alongside our pricing technology, so you’re not underpriced in busy periods or sitting empty in quiet ones.

When and how do I get paid?

Monthly. Each month you’ll receive an account statement showing your bookings, income, fees and any expenses, along with your payment. At the end of the financial year, we also send an EOFY statement to make tax time easier.
