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 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
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.

“Our local team supports you through every step of managing your short-term rental, from preparing your property to looking after each guest.”
Our NSW team helps Blue Mountains owners prepare homes for their actual setting and season. We make heating, access and emergency information clear, and confirm local cleaning and maintenance arrangements. MadeComfy’s pricing and guest-support teams help manage bookings and the applicable day allowance, with updates through your owner dashboard.
A Katoomba cottage, a Leura garden home and a lower-mountains property offer different stays. We assess the practical details of your address, including heating, access and upkeep, before recommending a rental plan. Explore the local details we consider below.
Katoomba offers town cottages, apartments and homes closer to escarpment attractions. Guests need accurate information about location, heating and the practical route to shops or transport.
We show steps, room layouts and parking, and explain any fireplace or heating instructions. A clear description distinguishes the home’s own outlook from nearby lookouts and visitor attractions.
Leura includes village homes, garden cottages and larger properties on quieter streets. A garden setting can be appealing, but it also creates ongoing care and guest-information needs.
We describe indoor heating, outdoor access and the actual distance to the village. Photographs and arrival instructions make stairs, slopes and parking clear, with garden upkeep included in the property-care discussion.
Wentworth Falls properties range from village homes to addresses nearer bushland and walking areas. The property’s exact location and access matter more than a broad mountains description.
We explain driveway conditions, stairs and indoor comfort, and make emergency information easy to find. Listings describe the home’s real facilities without promising access to tracks or attractions that may change.
Blackheath has a distinct upper-mountains setting, with character homes and properties around village and bushland areas. Guests benefit from clear expectations about the home’s comfort and surroundings.
We prioritise heating instructions, bedding, arrival access and practical kitchens. Property care considers outdoor areas and seasonal maintenance, while pricing reflects the available calendar and actual demand.
Glenbrook and the lower-mountains villages offer a different base from the upper mountains. A property here should be presented around its own village, transport and residential setting.
We make parking, stairs and outdoor spaces clear, and assess the home’s appeal for family or longer visits as well as short breaks. The same address-specific planning and STRA checks remain necessary.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
