Your property on the Central Coast 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.
Beach holidays and weekend breaks need a different pricing approach from longer family or work stays. We review quieter midweek periods as well as school holidays, so an estimate does not rely on peak-season rates throughout the year.
Central Coast is excluded from the general Greater Sydney 180-day non-hosted STRA cap. Eligible homes may operate year-round under the state framework, subject to property restrictions. 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 Central Coast 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 Central Coast owners balance holiday letting with personal use. We plan practical details such as key collection, parking, beach equipment and changeovers, with pricing and guest support coordinated through MadeComfy. Your owner dashboard keeps bookings, income and property updates together.
A Terrigal apartment, an Umina family home and a quieter coastal retreat need different preparation. We assess the property’s access, presentation and availability before recommending a short-term rental strategy. Explore the local details we consider below.
Terrigal’s beach and dining area differs from the residential streets and larger homes around Wamberal. A property can be close to the coast without offering an easy, level walk to the sand.
We describe the actual route, parking and stairs, and show outdoor areas accurately. Cooling, laundry and storage for beach gear help guests compare a short break with a longer family stay.
Avoca Beach and Copacabana include family holiday homes, apartments and hillside properties. Layout and access can be as important to a booking decision as the number of bedrooms.
We make split levels, driveway gradients, balcony access and sleeping arrangements clear. Owner-use dates and cleaning turnaround are planned around the home’s capacity rather than a generic coastal listing.
Ettalong’s village and waterfront accommodation offers a different setting from Umina’s beachside streets and family homes. Guests need to know which shops, transport and beach access are practical from the address.
Listings distinguish private homes from apartments with shared facilities. We confirm parking and access instructions, and only describe pool or other complex facilities that guests are permitted to use.
The Entrance’s lakefront and holiday apartments differ from the residential and coastal pockets around Bateau Bay. The right presentation depends on whether the property suits couples, families or longer visits.
We explain the actual outlook, traffic or street noise, and the route to the beach or lake. Pricing and minimum stays can change with demand while accounting for cleaning and changeover costs.
Gosford and East Gosford can suit guests visiting for work, family or appointments as well as leisure. A useful kitchen, reliable internet and easy arrival can matter more than a holiday-style presentation.
We describe access to transport and local services from the actual address. Apartment listings explain lift access, parking height and key collection so guests can plan a practical stay.

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.
Beach holidays and weekend breaks need a different pricing approach from longer family or work stays. We review quieter midweek periods as well as school holidays, so an estimate does not rely on peak-season rates throughout the year.
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 across the Central Coast. Beach access, parking, cooling, outdoor areas and the practicality of changeovers all matter. For apartments, we also check the relevant strata by-laws and building access before recommending preparation or furnishing work. 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 Central Coast Council before listing. See the NSW short-term rental requirements.
Central Coast is excluded from the general Greater Sydney 180-day non-hosted STRA cap. Eligible homes may operate year-round under the state framework, subject to property restrictions.
Being outside that general cap does not remove registration, safety or planning obligations, or guarantee bookings. We assess year-round availability, seasonal demand and suitable longer stays for the individual home.
Yes. You can arrange personal stays through the owner dashboard, subject to existing guest bookings. Reserve school-holiday dates and summer weekends you want to use before guests book them. Your forecast should reflect those blocked dates and the income opportunities that remain.
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.
