Your property on the Northern Beaches 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, city-linked visits and family stays can call for different pricing and lengths of stay. We account for seasonality, owner-use dates and the 180-day allowance, with qualifying longer stays considered where the property suits them.
Non-hosted short-term rentals on the Northern Beaches generally fall under Greater Sydney’s 180-day limit 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 Northern Beaches 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 Sydney team supports Northern Beaches owners with local property-care coordination and central pricing, marketing and guest support. We make ferry or road access, parking, stairs and beach arrangements clear, and plan changeovers around the home. Your owner dashboard keeps the operational details visible.
Manly apartments, Dee Why units and larger homes around Pittwater offer different guest experiences. We prepare and market each property around its actual access, facilities and coastal setting. Explore the local details we consider below.
Manly’s beach and ferry setting differs from the residential streets and harbour-side pockets around Fairlight. Views, hills and building access can vary even between neighbouring properties.
We show the actual outlook and describe the route to ferries, shops or beaches. Apartment listings make lift access, parking and key collection clear, with strata requirements checked first.
Dee Why and Curl Curl include coastal apartments and family homes, with different access to dining, transport and the sand. A suburb name alone does not describe the guest experience.
We explain walking routes, steps, parking and sleeping layouts. Cooling, laundry and outdoor space are presented accurately, with cleaning and maintenance planned for the home’s size and coastal exposure.
Freshwater and Queenscliff offer apartments and homes across village, hillside and beach settings. Guests need practical detail about the property’s location and arrival.
We clarify stairs, driveway or street parking and the actual view. Listings distinguish a compact couples’ stay from a family home, and provide clear guidance for residential noise and shared access.
Narrabeen and Collaroy cover beach, lagoon-side and residential locations. A home’s relationship to the water and major roads should be described precisely.
We highlight genuine parking, laundry and outdoor facilities, and set expectations about access and noise. Pricing considers the available calendar and guest fit rather than assuming every address performs like a beachfront property.
The northern peninsula includes village apartments, larger holiday homes and steep or secluded addresses. These properties often need more detailed arrival and servicing plans.
We describe driveways, steps, parking and distances to shops or transport. Owner-use dates, outdoor maintenance and changeover logistics are agreed before launch, with the property’s rules and facilities clearly explained.

Sydney · NSW head office
3/55 Pyrmont Bridge Rd, Pyrmont NSW 2009
Our NSW head office in Pyrmont supports owners on the Northern Beaches. Speak with our team about your property, service coverage and a personalised rental assessment.
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, city-linked visits and family stays can call for different pricing and lengths of stay. We account for seasonality, owner-use dates and the 180-day allowance, with qualifying longer stays considered where the property suits them.
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 apartments and homes. Strata rules and lift access matter in Manly and Dee Why; hillside homes may need clearer arrival information, while larger beach houses need a plan for gardens, pools and outdoor upkeep. The forecast reflects the property’s real facilities and calendar. 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 Northern Beaches Council before listing. See the NSW short-term rental requirements.
Non-hosted short-term rentals on the Northern Beaches generally fall under Greater Sydney’s 180-day limit 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 summer holidays and the weekends you want to spend at the beach before guests book. Private owner use does not count towards the STRA allowance, but keeping peak dates will affect rental potential.
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.
