Average increase in net rental income compared to traditional rentals.
Your property in Newcastle 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.
Coastal breaks, events, work and family visits can require different lengths of stay. We assess those opportunities against the home’s location and costs, rather than applying beach-weekend rates to every night of the year.
City of Newcastle is outside the general Greater Sydney 180-day non-hosted STRA cap. Nearby Lake Macquarie properties require their own address-specific checks. 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 City of Newcastle.
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 combines Newcastle property care with MadeComfy’s marketing, pricing and guest-support teams. Clear arrival instructions, accurate parking information and dependable changeovers help the home work for guests. We assess the property and available dates first, with income and property updates in your owner dashboard.
A Newcastle city apartment, a Merewether beach home and a terrace in Cooks Hill each call for different presentation. We focus on what your address genuinely offers and the guest needs it can meet. Explore the local details we consider below.
The city centre and Newcastle East offer apartments and heritage streets close to different parts of the harbour and coast. Guests need accurate information about views, access and the building itself.
We clarify secure parking, lift access and key collection, and describe noise or stairs where relevant. Reliable internet and a workable kitchen help present the home for both short breaks and longer visits.
Cooks Hill’s terraces and dining streets differ from the homes and apartments around The Junction. Character and location are useful selling points when supported by clear practical details.
We show compact rooms, steps and outdoor spaces honestly. Parking restrictions, bedroom layouts and the route to shops or beaches help guests decide whether the property fits their stay.
Merewether and Bar Beach include coastal homes as well as properties set farther back from the sand. The actual outlook and beach access should guide the listing.
We highlight laundry, parking and storage for beach equipment where provided. Regular attention to outdoor furniture, salt exposure and entry areas helps keep coastal properties ready between stays.
Hamilton offers a neighbourhood base around dining, transport and residential streets. A house here may suit work or family visits as well as a weekend in Newcastle.
We present genuine kitchen, laundry and workspace facilities, and explain street parking or rail noise where relevant. Pricing considers the property’s location and guest fit rather than treating it as a beach listing.
Warners Bay provides a lake-side alternative to central Newcastle and sits in the Lake Macquarie council area. It should be assessed as its own location, with its own servicing and property checks.
We distinguish the actual lake outlook from nearby access, and describe parking, outdoor areas and travel needs. The property’s availability and facilities guide the balance between leisure and longer stays.

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.
Coastal breaks, events, work and family visits can require different lengths of stay. We assess those opportunities against the home’s location and costs, rather than applying beach-weekend rates to every night of 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 in Newcastle, considering condition, access, availability and local demand. Strata rules matter for city apartments; stairs, parking and maintenance can be priorities in terraces and coastal homes. Nearby Lake Macquarie addresses are checked with their own council. 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 City of Newcastle before listing. See the NSW short-term rental requirements.
City of Newcastle is outside the general Greater Sydney 180-day non-hosted STRA cap. Nearby Lake Macquarie properties require their own address-specific checks.
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 personal stays before guests book them, especially summer weekends and event periods you want to keep. Your forecast should use the calendar you actually intend to make available.
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.
