Professional Airbnb management Hervey Bay

Management fees vary based on service level and property. The service covers listing optimisation, smart pricing, 24/7 guest support, compliance support, and cleaning and maintenance coordination.

Your personalised quote sets out your rate, GST treatment, what’s included, the one-time onboarding fee for property preparation and any separate property costs, so you know what to expect before getting started.

It can, but the comparison needs to use net income over the same period. We forecast your available dates and expected booking pattern, then allow for platform and management fees and separate operating costs. Personal stays and quieter months matter as much as peak holiday rates. Your property-specific forecast helps you compare the options; income and occupancy are not guaranteed.

We coordinate preparation, photography and listings, then manage pricing, reservations, guest communication and property care. Cleaning, linen and maintenance are organised around bookings, with financial and property updates in your owner dashboard. Before launch, we agree on the home’s available dates, access arrangements and maintenance approval limits, and set out fees and separate costs in your quote.

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 the location, condition, layout, permitted use and dates you make available. Parking, cooling, a useful kitchen and laundry can be as important as a water view, particularly for families and longer visits. We discuss any furnishing or safety work and expected preparation costs before recommending whether the property is a good fit.

That depends on the property’s lawful use, existing approvals and what you plan to operate. Fraser Coast Regional Council or a qualified planner should confirm the requirements for the address. An existing online listing is not evidence of approval. We help coordinate the checks and property preparation, including relevant building, fire, pool and body corporate requirements.

Hervey Bay’s whale-watching season typically runs from mid-July to late October, with timing dependent on the season and operators. We review demand around those dates, school holidays and weekends, then assess suitable family, work and longer stays for other periods. We do not project peak-season rates across the whole year or promise that every week will book.

Yes. Reserve personal stays through your MadeComfy owner dashboard, subject to existing guest bookings. Let us know your preferred dates early, particularly if you want to use the home during whale-watching season or school holidays, when your own plans may overlap with popular guest travel periods.

We factor those stays into your income forecast and plan around the dates left available. That gives you a clearer picture of the trade-off between enjoying the home yourself and making it available to guests.

Yes, subject to the property assessment and a workable handover. We review your existing agreement, notice period, reservations, listing ownership, keys and supplier arrangements. Bookings cannot always transfer between platform accounts, so we confirm what can be retained and when new reservations can begin before agreeing the changeover date.

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.

Guest screening, identity checks and clear house rules help set expectations. We explain occupancy limits, parking, rubbish and quiet hours, including relevant building or approval conditions. If an issue or damage is reported, we document it, keep you informed and coordinate the response within agreed limits. Platform claims and insurance remain subject to their terms.

We first assess the property, its rental potential and the requirements that need to be addressed. An onboarding specialist then coordinates preparation, photography, listing creation and pricing. You can review and approve the listing before launch. Timing depends on the home’s readiness, any required approvals and the handover arrangements. Once bookings begin, we use guest feedback and booking performance to refine the listing and rates.
