We take care of listing optimisation across every platform your property appears on, supported by dynamic pricing that adjusts nightly rates around demand, seasonality and local events. Our revenue optimisation approach keeps your calendar full without underselling your property during the periods Fitzroy guests are willing to pay a premium for; whether that’s a long weekend, a festival, or a sold-out show nearby.
Guest communication runs around the clock. Our 24/7 support means guests checking in late after dinner on Gertrude Street, or arriving early to explore the gallery strip near Smith Street, always have someone to reach. Messages are handled promptly and in a tone that fits the relaxed, creative character of the area, not a stiff, corporate script.
Between every stay, our professional cleaning and housekeeping team resets the property to a standard that supports 5-star reviews, with a dependable linen service so guests arrive to fresh sheets and towels regardless of how quickly bookings turn over.
Our property maintenance network covers everything from a leaking tap to an urgent lockout, so small issues get resolved before they show up in a review or put your Superhost status at risk.
Set-and-forget pricing leaves money on the table in a suburb like Fitzroy, where demand swings around festivals, long weekends and gig nights. Our dynamic pricing is reviewed daily, not monthly, so your rates respond to what’s actually happening in the market; not what was happening when the price was last set.
Fitzroy guests don’t all come from the same place. Some search Airbnb, others book through Booking.com, Stayz or VRBO and we manage your listing across all of them. As part of our short-term rental management Fitzroy service, every platform is kept in sync, so your calendar, pricing and photos are always consistent no matter where a guest finds you.
We charge a flat 15% management fee with no setup costs and no hidden add-ons. What you’re quoted is what you pay, whether your property is a one-bedroom apartment near Edinburgh Gardens or a converted warehouse off Smith Street. For owners weighing up Airbnb property management Fitzroy options, this kind of straightforward fee structure is the exception rather than the rule.
Fitzroy isn’t a suburb you can manage from a spreadsheet. Knowing which streets guests want to be close to, how noise and parking work around busy nightlife strips, and how to price a property during a festival weekend versus a quiet midweek stretch all come from being on the ground locally; which is exactly where our team operates.
Fitzroy’s identity as an inner-city suburb is built around a few key drawcards. Brunswick Street remains the suburb’s best-known strip: bars, restaurants and bookshops that guests specifically search for when choosing where to stay. A few blocks over, Gertrude Street has become known for its galleries, design stores and a slightly more refined dining scene, while Smith Street (shared with neighbouring Collingwood) is one of Melbourne’s go-to destinations for vintage shopping, live music venues and late-night food.
For guests wanting a quieter base, Edinburgh Gardens offers green space, weekend markets and a more residential feel, while still being a short walk from everything Fitzroy is known for. For almost every guest, the drawcard underneath all of this is proximity to the CBD. Fitzroy sits just minutes from the city centre by tram, making it an easy base for leisure travellers and business visitors who want to be close to the action without staying in the CBD itself.
Fitzroy’s guest mix reflects all of this: interstate and international tourists drawn to the gallery and nightlife scene, event-driven bookings around festivals and gigs, and a steady run of shorter business stays thanks to the CBD location. No single attraction explains it on its own. It’s the combination that makes vacation rental management in Fitzroy different from running a property in a purely residential or purely tourist-driven suburb.
While Fitzroy is a core focus, our short-term rental management Fitzroy clients also benefit from our coverage of neighbouring inner-north suburbs. We manage properties across Collingwood, Carlton, North Melbourne and Richmond, which means owners with properties across these areas can consolidate everything (pricing, cleaning, maintenance and guest communication) under a single management arrangement, with the same flat 15% fee and no setup costs no matter how many properties are involved.
This local cluster approach also means our cleaning and maintenance teams are never far away, which matters for fast turnarounds between bookings and for responding quickly if a guest reports an issue during their stay.
Our Airbnb management Fitzroy service is charged at a flat 15% of booking revenue, with no setup costs. There are no separate charges for cleaning coordination, guest communication or listing management. These are all included in the 15% fee.
Fitzroy is one of the stronger short-stay markets in inner Melbourne, supported by consistent demand from its nightlife, gallery and live music scene, plus its proximity to the CBD. Across the suburb’s 169 active listings, the average daily rate is currently $285 with an average occupancy level of 72%, which puts a well-run one or two-bedroom property at around $74,878 in annual revenue. Actual results depend on the specific property, how it’s presented, and how actively pricing is managed, which is where short-stay property management Fitzroy services like ours make the most difference.
Victoria’s short-stay levy applies to short-term rental bookings across the state, including in Fitzroy, and is something every host needs to understand and account for when setting prices. We’ve written a detailed guide on what the levy means in practice over on our Short-Stay Levy blog post, and as part of our short-term rental management Fitzroy service, we factor it into pricing and reporting so there are no surprises at tax time.
Yes. Many of our Fitzroy owners block out dates for personal use throughout the year. Our Airbnb management Fitzroy service is built around flexibility: let us know your dates in advance and we’ll manage the calendar around them, so you can still enjoy the property when you want to.
Yes. Our Airbnb manager Fitzroy team manages listings across Airbnb, Booking.com and Stayz / VRBO as standard, with no extra fee for multi-platform coverage. This matters in Fitzroy specifically, where a meaningful share of guests, particularly business travellers and longer-stay visitors, book through Booking.com rather than Airbnb.
Getting started is straightforward. Book a free property appraisal and we’ll walk through your property’s potential, talk through the flat 15% fee with no setup costs, and outline what onboarding looks like. Most Fitzroy properties can be fully set up and ready to list within a couple of weeks. You can also see how our Airbnb and short-term rental management service works across Melbourne more broadly.
