A Brisbane homeowner’s holiday home made hassle-free with Hometime

First-time STR investors delighted with their stress-free experience with Hometime.

Hosted by Rudi and Isil

About the Homeowner

Tired of staying in poorly furnished Airbnbs, this homeowner wanted a place that felt like home when visiting the city that doubled as an investment. As a passionate Brisbane Broncos fan, being close to Suncorp Stadium was a must. 

The goal: To enjoy long weekends in a comfortable, well-located property, and rent it out when not in use to earn extra income.

The Challenge

The homeowner needed flexibility to enjoy their property for personal stays without the stress of managing it as a short-term rental.

The homeowner had:

  • No desire to handle bookings or guest communication
  • Concerns about maintenance and urgent issues
  • Difficulty finding a responsive, trustworthy management partner

How Hometime Helped

Hometime stood out with clear communication and a hands-on approach. After meeting Local Hosts Rudi and Ish in person, the homeowner felt confident in their responsiveness and local knowledge.

The Hometime team:

  • Guided the homeowner through the setup process
  • Managed guest bookings, reviews, and property maintenance
  • Offered timely advice and market insight
  • Ensured the homeowner always felt in control without doing the day-to-day

The Results

Full flexibility to book personal stays whenever needed
Peace of mind knowing the property is cared for and generating income
81% occupancy rate, even with frequent owner stays

It's been hands-free, we haven't dealt with any issues or problems… There was a problem with the dishwasher once, and they got someone there straight away, fixed it, and the person left us a great review. Overall, it's been very good, very informative, very hassle-free, and accommodating from the start with Rudy and Ish.”
