Our Airbnb Management Services
Complete Airbnb management in Melbourne
At Holiday House Manager our Airbnb Management offers a fully-managed hosting solution that takes care of everything, so you don’t have to. We managed everything from 24/7 guest messaging to dynamic pricing and cleaning, making your property completely hands off.
Free Property Onboarding
Getting started costs you nothing. We handle the full setup of your property from day one, including lockbox installation, listing creation across Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and Stayz, check-in and check-out configuration, house manuals, guest communication templates and initial pricing setup. By the time your first guest books, everything is in place and running.
Revenue Maximisation
We use specialist short-stay pricing software to make sure your property earns what it should, every night. Rates are adjusted daily based on seasonality, local demand, suburb-level competitor performance and upcoming events like the AFL Grand Final or major concerts. Minimum night settings are also managed strategically to avoid low-value gaps and protect your returns. The result is a pricing strategy that responds to the market in real time, not one set and forgotten.
Guest Communication & Support
Our team of five, Rebecca, Bruno, Nicholas, Angel and Babelyn, handles all guest communication around the clock. From the first enquiry through to check-out, every message is responded to promptly and every issue resolved professionally. We combine local, on-the-ground support with dedicated virtual assistants to make sure nothing falls through the cracks, regardless of the time or day.
Professional Cleaning & Linen
After every stay, your property is reset by our trusted professional cleaning partners to a consistent hotel standard. Fresh linen is provided for each turnover alongside a thorough damage inspection. We have worked with our cleaning partners over a long period and hold them to the same standard we hold ourselves.
Listing Optimisation & Photography
Your listing is your shopfront. We create and maintain fully optimised listings across Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and Stays, written for both platform search visibility and guest conversion. Professional photography is arranged for every property we onboard, presenting your home in the best possible light and giving it a competitive edge from the moment it goes live.
Owner Dashboard & Transparent Reporting
You have full visibility over how your property is performing at all times through our management software dashboard, which tracks occupancy, pricing and revenue. Monthly invoicing covers management and cleaning fees clearly and without surprises. Maintenance issues are handled swiftly when they arise, and in the rare event something unexpected happens, we resolve it fast.

Do you manage properties on other platforms besides Airbnb?
Yes. We list your property across Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO. Listing across multiple platforms significantly increases your property’s visibility and leads to more bookings and higher occupancy rates throughout the year.
Can I still use my property when I want?
Absolutely, your property is yours. We use a management platform that gives you full access to your property’s calendar, allowing you to block out any dates you’d like to use the property at any time. Your access and enjoyment of your own home is never compromised.
How does guest check-in and check-out work?
We operate a same-day turnover model, which means checkout is at 10:00 am and check-in is at 3:00 pm. This allows your property to be cleaned, inspected, and reset between guests on the same day, maximising the number of bookable nights and your overall revenue.
How do I track my bookings and income?
We use property management software that gives you visibility over all incoming bookings. At the end of each month, we provide you with invoices from both Airbnb and Booking.com so you have a clear record of all revenue generated for that period.
What are your occupancy rates in Melbourne?
Our occupancy rates are among the highest in the industry, consistently outperforming market averages across Melbourne. Depending on the strategy we implement, we’ve achieved up to 92% occupancy over a six-month period for select properties.
We tailor our approach based on your goals, whether that’s maximising occupancy, driving higher nightly rates, or striking the optimal balance for overall revenue. Using dynamic pricing, real-time market data, and continuous calendar optimisation, we ensure your property is positioned to perform at its peak.
Every property is different, which is why we work closely with you to define the right strategy and refine it over time, so you achieve the strongest possible occupancy and return.
How much can I earn from short-term rental in Melbourne?
Earnings vary depending on a number of factors including your property’s location, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, interior styling, and seasonal demand. To get a clear picture of what your property could earn, get in touch and we’ll prepare a free property earnings report, comparing similar properties in your area so you can see realistic income potential before committing to anything.
