Highton offers a residential base for visits towards Deakin University's Waurn Ponds campus and Epworth Geelong in neighbouring Waurn Ponds. Academic commitments, appointments and time supporting family can involve several nights in the area. Guests can combine those plans with neighbourhood time and outings across Geelong during their stay.
Highton's 2026 market rate benchmark is around A$201 per night. We help your property's Highton appeal connect with visitors whose plans bring them to this part of Geelong. MadeComfy guides presentation and useful local information, then tailors promotion, rates and booking lengths to academic and extended visits through a strategy designed to outperform the market benchmark.

Your property reaches holidaymakers, business travellers and longer-staying guests through leading booking platforms, MadeComfy’s direct booking site and our extensive corporate travel network.
As part of the PRISM Group, a global hospitality business, we combine an extensive international booking network with local expertise. Your MadeComfy team manages listings, pricing and bookings to help turn that reach into rental income throughout the year.

Our percentage-based management fee is tailored to your property, availability and service needs, and calculated on booking revenue after booking-platform fees. It covers listing optimisation, smart pricing, 24/7 guest support, compliance support, and cleaning and maintenance coordination.
Your personalised quote sets out what’s included, the one-time onboarding fee for property preparation and any separate property costs, so you know what to expect before getting started.
MadeComfy’s portfolio-wide results, reported in September 2026, showed 34% more net rental income on average than long-term rentals over the preceding 12 months.

MadeComfy’s team manages your property’s listings, pricing, bookings, 24/7 guest support, cleaning, linen and maintenance coordination. We market your home across leading booking platforms and our corporate travel network. Your owner dashboard keeps bookings, income and property updates in one place, and you can contact our team on 1800 526 133.
We pay your rental earnings monthly by bank transfer to your nominated account. Your owner dashboard brings together bookings, income, financial statements and property updates, with service charges itemised on your statement. You can also compare your property’s performance with the local short-term rental market.
Highton can suit guests who prefer a residential Geelong base with neighbourhood parks and access to the Barwon River area. A comfortable family home benefits from a full kitchen, laundry and parking. Hills and split-level layouts can affect usability, so check steps and driveway access, and only promote views or easy walking access where the particular property supports them.
MadeComfy can help you understand the short-term rental requirements for your Highton property, including any planning conditions from the City of Greater Geelong and applicable owners corporation rules. Victoria's 7.5% levy applies to eligible bookings of less than 28 consecutive days, with exclusions including a principal place of residence. Platforms handle the levy for their bookings; direct bookings may require separate registration and payment. We'll help you understand how this applies to your rental plans and guide you through the relevant property and safety preparations, so you can get started with confidence.
We assess local demand, your availability and any applicable stay limits to recommend a suitable mix of short and medium-term bookings. Our revenue team adjusts pricing and the mix of stays around your property, supported by leading booking platforms and our corporate travel network.
Yes. You can book personal stays through your MadeComfy owner dashboard, subject to existing guest bookings. Reserve the dates you want before they’re booked by guests.
Yes. We can help you plan the move to MadeComfy, with a handover tailored to your current agreement and upcoming bookings. Before you switch, we’ll confirm the arrangements for your listing, existing reservations and property access, so you know what to expect.
We arrange cleaning, fresh linen and towels, and restocking between guest stays. Regular changeover cleans are covered by the guest cleaning fee. Housekeepers complete MadeComfy’s training and certification program, with photographic reporting and quality checks helping keep your property ready for each arrival.
Our team coordinates repairs with trusted trades and keeps you informed through your owner dashboard. Our support team is available 24/7 for urgent property issues and arranges the appropriate response. Repair approval limits are agreed with you in advance, and repair costs are separate from the management fee.
We use guest ID checks and screening, house rules and property inspections to help protect your home. If damage is identified, we document it, keep you informed and coordinate any required repairs within your agreed approval limits. Any claim depends on the relevant booking-platform or insurance terms, so you should maintain insurance suitable for short-term letting.
We assess your property and its rental potential, then an onboarding specialist guides you through property preparation, photography, listing creation and pricing. You can review and approve your listing before it goes live, with launch timing based on your property’s readiness.
Once bookings begin, our team monitors guest feedback and local demand, refining pricing and your listing as the property becomes established.
