Be everywhere your guests are

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.

Northern Beaches Airbnb regulations and rental planning

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

  • 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 on the Northern Beaches 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?

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.

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 on the Northern Beaches suitable?

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.

What rules apply to Airbnb on the Northern Beaches?

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.

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

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.

Can I stay in my property?

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.

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.
