Why Australian Property Owners Choose Housala Over Other Companies

There is no shortage of Airbnb management companies operating across Australia. Some big names, some small businesses and others in-between — but they all make the same promise: hand over your property and earn more*.

So why do property owners across Sydney, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Perth and Adelaide consistently achieve better results with Housala?

The difference comes down to the standard we hold ourselves to.

Every other Airbnb management company in Australia compares their performance to self-managing owners, or worse yet – to other properties in their own portfolio.

This is a baseline that is, frankly, easy to beat.

Housala compares its performance to every other professional management company in the market.

Our properties earn 30 to 76% more than competitor-managed properties of equivalent quality and location. We collect this data, we stand behind it, and we invite any property owner to test us against whoever is currently managing their property, we promise you’ll love the Housala difference ❤️

More Reasons to Love Housala

Australian-Owned, Australian-Built, Australia-Focused

Did you know that many of the large Airbnb management companies are actually owned and managed overseas? Some are even owned entirely by investment firms. In any of these scenario’s, you and your property are just seen as a number in a spreadsheet.

Housala was built in Australia for Australian property owners and the Australian short-term rental market.

We understand the seasonal rhythms, regulatory landscape, guest expectations and local market dynamics of every city we operate in.

Australia is not a secondary market for us – it is our only market and our home. That level of focus makes a measurable difference.

Guest Ratings That Drive Rankings, Bookings and Higher Rates

Housala-managed properties achieve guest ratings between 4.8 and 4.95 stars. On Airbnb and other booking platforms, higher ratings mean higher search placement, more bookings and the ability to command better nightly rates.

Our obsessive attention to presentation standards, professional cleaning, accurate listings and proactive guest communication isn’t just about hospitality – it is a core part of our income maximisation strategy.

Better ratings equal better rankings equal better income.

The Occupancy Pricing Strategy That Maximises Total Income — Not Just Occupancy

Housala targets 85 to 95% occupancy across our managed portfolio. This is a deliberate strategic choice.

A property above 95% occupancy is almost certainly underpriced – those cheap nights are income that can never be recovered.

Our human-reviewed dynamic pricing team adjusts your nightly rate continuously across all platforms, targeting the highest achievable rate for every night of the year.

The result: Much higher total annual income than managers who simply try to fill every night at any price.

Complete Fee Transparency — You Only Pay When You Earn

Housala charges a straightforward percentage of your rental revenue. No setup fees*, no monthly retainers, no lock-in contracts, no hidden charges.

In an industry where competitors somtimes advertise a headline percentage but attach conditions and additional costs,

Housala’s fee structure is genuinely simple and genuinely aligned with your success.

We only earn when you earn, and we want you to earn as much as possible! – That alignment drives everything we do.

We Don’t Just Beat Self-Management – We Beat the Other Managers too!

Every Airbnb management company in Australia will tell you they’ll earn you more than managing your property yourself.

Housala goes much further: our managed properties earn 33 to 76% more than competitor-managed properties, depending on the month and local market.

We are the only Airbnb Management Company in Australia that makes this comparison – because we are the only company who has the data to back it up.

If your property is currently with another manager, we’ll show you exactly what the income gap looks like before you make any decision to switch.

And when you decide to join Housala – switching is quick, easy and hassle free, we handle everything for you.

Housala's Transparent Airbnb Management Fees

Airbnb Management Fees That Are Actually Transparent

Housala charges a straightforward percentage of your Airbnb rental revenue. Nothing else. No monthly retainers. No hidden extras. You pay us a percentage of what your property earns.

We are deliberate about this transparency.

The short-term rental management industry in Australia has a reputation for opaque pricing — headline percentages that exclude photography costs, linen fees, maintenance margins or account management charges that appear on your monthly statement.

Housala’s fee structure is genuinely all-inclusive, and we invite any property owner to compare it directly against any alternative.

Because we only earn when you earn, our entire business is built around maximising your income. Every pricing decision, every cleaning standard we hold, every review we manage — all of it serves one purpose: the highest possible return on your property.

Our interests and your interests are completely and permanently aligned.

What Australian Property Owners Say About Housala

Property owners across Sydney, the Gold Coast, Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Perth and Adelaide have switched to Housala and experienced a genuine transformation in their Airbnb income. Here is what they say.

“I had been with another national management company for 18 months and assumed my property was performing as well as it could.

After six months with Housala, my income was 41% higher than the same period the previous year. The seasonal conditions were comparable.

The difference was entirely down to management quality.”

Testimonial for Airbnb Management Service Housala - Michael T

Michael T. - Sydney NSW

Result: 41% income increase vs previous management company in first 6 months

“What convinced me to switch to Housala wasn’t a sales pitch – it was that they showed me actual data upfront. They pulled comparable Gold Coast properties managed by our previous company and showed me what they were earning versus what Housala-managed properties in the same area were earning.

No other company I’d spoken to was willing or able to do that.“

Testimonial for Airbnb Management Service Housala - Renee P

Renee & Jason P. - Gold Coast QLD

Result: 38% income uplift in first full year, 4.91-star average guest rating

“I own a property in Brisbane and live in Perth, so finding a management company I could genuinely trust from a distance was critical. Housala has been completely seamless from day one.

I haven’t dealt with a single guest issue, maintenance call or operational problem. The income is great, and my property sits at 4.89 stars after more than 70 bookings.”

Testimonial for Airbnb Management Service Housala - Elaine K

Elaine K. - Brisbane QLD (owner based in Perth WA)

Result: 4.89-star average over 70+ bookings. Zero owner-managed operational issues.

Housala stepped in with their professional Airbnb Management Team and took care of EVERYTHING! It freed up our time and they even managed to make us more revenue after their fees. Couldn’t be happier with their service and highly recommend”

Housala provides expert Airbnb management across six of Australia’s most in-demand short-term rental markets. Each city has its own seasonal dynamics, guest profile and income drivers — and our team brings deep, verified local knowledge to every market we operate in.

You’ve got questions and we’ve got answers!

Everything you need to know about how Housala works, what makes our approach different from other Australian Airbnb management companies, and how to get started.

Frequently Asked Questions About Airbnb Management in Australia

Do I need to live in the same city as my property?
No. A significant proportion of Housala’s owners are interstate investors or Australian property owners who live overseas.

Our fully remote management model means your property is completely taken care of regardless of your location. We manage all local operations, coordinate tradespeople, handle every guest interaction and report to you monthly — with no requirement for your involvement in day-to-day operations.
Can I still use my property myself if Housala manages it?
Yes, absolutely! We encourage our clients to use your property whenever it suits you. You retain complete flexibility to block out dates for personal use at any time through your owner dashboard.

There are no restrictions on how often you use your own property. Housala manages the available dates around your personal bookings seamlessly – with no penalties, no minimum availability requirements* and no impact on your fee structure.
How do Housala's fees compare to MadeComfy, Hometime or AirKeeper?
Housala charges a straightforward percentage of your rental revenue — with no setup fees*, no monthly retainers, and no hidden charges. Many competing companies advertise a headline management percentage but attach additional costs for photography, linen, account management or maintenance margins that inflate the effective fee. We recommend any property owner to compare the all-in cost across Airbnb management Australia options rather than the headline percentage alone. Contact us and we will give you a clear, direct comparison for your specific property and market.
How quickly can Housala get my property live on Airbnb?
Most properties are fully set up and live across all platforms within 5 to 7 business days of signing up. This includes the photography session, listing creation and optimisation, platform setup and pricing configuration.

In some circumstances we can move faster and have properties fully listed within 48 hours.

Contact us and we will give you a specific, realistic timeline based on your property and its location.
How much do Airbnb Managers Charge?
How many days per year can I Airbnb my house?
In Australia you can generally rent your house out as a short-term rental (Airbnb) year round – 365 days for most locations and cities.

This however can change for a few certain locations where the local council has implemented restrictions for how many days or months of the year you can operate as a short-term rental.

Feel free to contact our expert team and we will be happy to give you the latest, accurate information.
Is Owning an Airbnb worth it in Australia?
Yes it is! Property investors who choose to rent their house out as a short-term rental can expect to earn anywhere from 30%-80% more in net revenue when compared to long-term rental.

Short-term rentals also give you the flexibility to use the home for your own personal use from time to time as you like. This is PERFECT for investors who want to use their holiday home a few weeks or months of the year and want to earn money when it would normally be sitting vacant.
