The Geelong STR Market

Geelong sits at the gateway to the Great Ocean Road and the Bellarine Peninsula, with a revitalised waterfront, wineries, Barwon Heads, Ocean Grove, and the surf beaches of Torquay and Bells Beach nearby. Melbourne weekenders, touring visitors, event-goers, and families book here, with demand peaking over summer and around major events.

Victoria introduced a 7.5% short stay levy on bookings under 28 nights from January 2025, collected automatically by platforms like Airbnb and Stayz. Councils also hold powers to introduce registration or night caps, and owners corporations can ban short-term rentals with a 75% vote, so it pays to confirm what applies to your property.

With visitors using Geelong as a base for the coast, presentation and location detail in your listing help you stand out from the crowd. AirKeeper helps Geelong investors turn short-term rentals into high-performing assets with a professionally managed, data-driven approach.
