Be everywhere your guests are

Your property in the Blue Mountains can reach guests through leading booking platforms, MadeComfy’s direct booking site and our corporate travel network. We manage the listings, pricing and bookings in one place.

Weekend escapes and holiday travel can differ from quieter weekday demand. We consider the available STRA allowance, qualifying longer bookings and owner stays alongside heating, upkeep and changeover costs when assessing rental potential.

Blue Mountains Airbnb regulations and rental planning

Blue Mountains is included in Greater Sydney’s non-hosted STRA area, with a general limit of 180 days per registration year. Registration, fire safety, the Code of Conduct and any planning or strata restrictions still apply. Read the NSW STRA planning guidance and confirm property-specific requirements with Blue Mountains City Council.

How MadeComfy supports your property

  • Support with STRA registration, fire safety and property-specific checks.
  • Monitor the non-hosted day allowance and plan qualifying longer bookings.
  • Coordinate guest information, house rules and practical property care.
  • Adapt pricing and minimum stays to seasonality, demand and changeover costs.

We help you plan short stays and suitable medium-term bookings around the rules that apply to your property. Eligibility depends on the address and its approvals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fees, earnings and service

How much does Airbnb management in the Blue Mountains cost?

Management fees vary based on service level and property. Your personalised quote explains GST, the one-time onboarding fee and any separate property costs.

The service includes listing optimisation, pricing, guest support and cleaning and maintenance coordination. Review your management inclusions before deciding.

Can I earn more than with a long-term rental?

Weekend escapes and holiday travel can differ from quieter weekday demand. We consider the available STRA allowance, qualifying longer bookings and owner stays alongside heating, upkeep and changeover costs when assessing rental potential.

Your personalised rental forecast compares expected income and operating costs with a long-term lease. MadeComfy’s reported 34% average net uplift is a portfolio-wide result for the 12 months preceding September 2026, not a forecast for your property. Individual results vary.

What does your Airbnb management service include?

MadeComfy’s NSW 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.

When do I get paid, and how can I track my income?

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.

Your property and local rental rules

Is my property in the Blue Mountains suitable?

We assess entire homes and apartments, with attention to heating, stairs, driveways, outdoor areas and service coverage. Bushfire-related planning requirements and the property’s approved use must be checked. A cottage or rural building is not automatically eligible just because similar homes appear on booking platforms. We can also discuss furnishing and styling where needed.

What rules apply to Airbnb in the Blue Mountains?

Register eligible residential STRA before advertising, meet fire-safety standards and follow the NSW Code of Conduct. Planning conditions and strata by-laws can restrict a property even where the state framework permits STRA. Check your address with Blue Mountains City Council before listing. See the NSW short-term rental requirements.

How does the 180-day Airbnb cap affect my property?

Blue Mountains is included in Greater Sydney’s non-hosted STRA area, with a general limit of 180 days per registration year.

Qualifying bookings of at least 21 consecutive days do not count towards that limit. We assess short and medium-term stays together, monitor the allowance and adjust pricing to your available calendar. Registration, safety and property restrictions still apply.

Can I stay in my property?

Yes. You can arrange personal stays through the owner dashboard, subject to existing guest bookings. Reserve the weekends and holiday periods you want before guests book. Private owner stays do not use the non-hosted STRA day allowance, but they reduce the dates available to earn rental income.

Can I switch from another property manager?

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.

Property care and getting started

Who handles cleaning and linen, and who pays?

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.

Who handles repairs and emergencies?

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.

How do you screen guests and handle damage?

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.

How do I get started, and what happens next?

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.
