Brisbane's short-term rental market

Brisbane’s booming tourism sector added $12.1 billion to the economy in the year to June 2024, a 12.3% jump, driven by its rising profile, buzzing precincts, blockbuster events and growing direct flight connections. The Brisbane rental market is also expected to grow further with the 2031 Olympic & Paralympic Games are on the horizon, which is expected to boost the experience economy by 41%.

  • Average occupancy rate: 77%
  • Average daily rate (ADR): $230
  • Annual revenue: $64,640

Brisbane Airbnb rules & regulations:

  • No night cap, no mandatory register, and no state-wide levy.
  • Your rates category matters: Brisbane charges a different rate on homes used for short stays, so your property needs to sit in the correct category.
  • Safety requirements: If your property has a pool or spa, it needs a current certificate. You'll also need photoelectric smoke alarms by 1 January 2027.
  • $10 million public liability insurance is required: This comes from Council's local law covering short-stay letting, and it's the obligation owners most often miss.

While Brisbane's Short Stay Accommodation Local Law has been paused indefinitely, it can still be enforced in the future. We track it and we'll tell you before it affects your property.

Reviews

This townhouse is massive and everyone had their own space. Inside was spotlessly clean! The location is amazing and walking distance to all of the wonderful restaurants of Bulimba.

Luke

Rudi is terrific to work with and I suspect the Hometime algorithms work really well to optimise overall returns. We're very happy with the service we've received so far.

Robert

The apartment is in such a great location. The botanic garden is steps away from the building. The views from the apartment were amazing. Communication was clear and timely. Overall we had a great stay!

Meg

Hosting partners are amazing. They've got great marketing ideas. It would benefit Hometime if you would consider working with them on these improvements.

Peter

Lovely apartment right in the heart of Hamilton. Simple check-in and check-out. We were visiting friends living nearby so we were out and about most of the time. It's the perfect place for a base when exploring the area. The airport is super-close, too.

Robbie

Rudi is a true partner - it feels like the house is in very safe hands. He ensures only quality guests stay at the property and that it is well maintained. He has my best interests at heart.

Frequently Asked Questions

We take care of every aspect that comes with managing a property in the short-term rental market. Below are some of the questions we’re asked most frequently

Is Airbnb profitable in Brisbane? Can I earn more compared to long-term rentals?

Yes, Airbnbs in Brisbane are profitable as there is consistent demand for travel to the area due steady visitor numbers year-round. Travellers flock to Brisbane to explore various local attractions such as Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and Moreton Island. Brisbane is also anticipated to have a tourism and infrastructure boom due to the upcoming 2032 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games, making it an ideal location for short-term rentals.

Homeowners can earn more with Airbnb vs renting if they optimise pricing strategies to maximise earnings from peak seasons such as summer and during local events.

Are Airbnbs legal in Brisbane? Do I need council approval?

Yes, Airbnbs are legal in Brisbane, and there's no permit scheme in place. While the Short Stay Accommodation Local Law has been paused indefinitely, the existing Airbnb rules in Brisbane haven't changed. Your council rates category, planning approval under City Plan 2014 where your zone calls for it, your body corporate by-laws and Queensland's smoke alarm standard all still apply. Council also kept its existing enforcement powers, and it's described the decision as a pause rather than a withdrawal, so this could return.

How much are Airbnb management fees in Brisbane?

Airbnb management fees in Brisbane vary depending the specific company and the services included. With Hometime, you'll get charged a one-off onboarding fee to get your listing set up, along with a percentage-based commission for every booking. There is a separate cleaning fee, however this is paid for by the guest.

Assuming an average nightly rate of $260 and 67-76% occupancy, you could bring home $64,532-72,124 annually from your Airbnb in Brisbane (excluding Airbnb platform fees, cleaning, and other upkeep costs).
