What does Airbnb management actually
earn you in Sydney?

Sydney consistently records the highest average nightly rates of any Australian city, according to AirDNA's short-term rental market data. The market rewards well-managed properties significantly more than self-managed ones, for a straightforward reason: professional management removes the gaps.

Those gaps are where revenue leaks. Slow guest responses that drop your search ranking. Static pricing that misses peak demand. Single-platform listings that leave bookings on the table. Cleary & Co closes all of them.

‍What professional management typically adds

Occupancy Uplift

Dynamic pricing and multi-platform distribution consistently lift occupancy rates above the Sydney market average

Dynamic pricing gains

Nightly rates are reviewed continuously against local demand signals, events calendars and competitor positioning

Multi-platform reach

Distribution across Airbnb, Booking.com and Stayz means your property is visible to guests who never open Airbnb

The fee is a revenue share, not a cost

Cleary & Co earns when you earn. There is no incentive to underperform.

Airbnb rules and short-term rental
compliance in Sydney

NSW has a mandatory registration scheme for all short-term rental accommodation. Understanding
what applies to your property is not optional — it's a condition of listing. Here's what you need to know.
Man with giant magnifying glass

NSW STRA registration

All short-term rental properties in NSW must be registered with the NSW Government's Short-Term Rental Accommodation (STRA) Register. Registration costs A$65 for a new application and A$25 for renewal. Your registration number (PID-STRA) must appear on every listing.

The 180-night cap

For non-hosted properties (where the owner does not live on-site) in Greater Sydney, a 180-night annual cap applies. Cleary & Co tracks your nights against this threshold and advises you well in advance if you're approaching it.

Strata considerations

If your property is in a strata scheme, your owners corporation may have passed a by-law restricting or prohibiting short-term letting. This needs to be confirmed before you list. We can help you navigate this as part of onboarding.

We handle STRA registration and compliance as part of your onboarding — one less thing to worry about.

For the full regulatory framework, refer to the NSW Planning Portal directly.
