Transparent Management Fees
One Fee. No Hidden Costs. No Franchise Margins.
16% + GST of booking revenue. That is the management fee. Everything included, clearly stated.
Priced to Align With Your Performance
Our Airbnb management fees are structured to align performance with property income… is straightforward by design. A single management fee — 16% + GST of booking revenue — covers the complete operational service. There are no additional charges for individual components, no franchise layers and no inflated margins on cleaning or maintenance.
A one-time setup fee of $600 + GST covers property onboarding, listing creation and full platform configuration. This is charged once at the commencement of management — not as an ongoing levy.
We earn when your property earns. That alignment is intentional.
We manage this process systematically. Owners are kept informed at each stage, and nothing goes live until setup is complete and reviewed.
Below is a clear account of how the process works — from initial assessment through to ongoing management.
