The Gold Coast's short-term rental market
With 5,200 active listings in 2025 (up 8% year-on-year), the Gold Coast remains one of Australia’s most vibrant STR markets. With year-round demand for travel that consistently peaks in summer, along with major events such as the Gold Coast Marathon and Surfers Paradise festivals to help drive bookings, the Gold Coast's stable short-term rental market performance makes it an ideal investment option for homeowners.
- Average occupancy rate: 71%
- Average daily rate: $376
- Annual revenue: $97,440
Gold Coast Airbnb rules and regulations:
- No night cap, no mandatory register, and no state-wide levy.
- Your rates category matters: The Gold Coast 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.

Reviews
This place is so refreshingly spacious. Very required relaxing time. Hiking in the near vicinity. Nerang shops are only 10-15 mins away. If you are looking for peace and quiet and privacy, it's fantastic. Would be amazing in summer with the pool and outdoor BBQ.
Simone
Overall great experience with plenty of things to walk to, especially Kirra Beach. Loved being close to coffee and breakfast cafes. Very close to the Gold Coast Airport as well.
Colin
Everything was taken care of. Hometime's Hosting Partners really looked after my guests, which shows in the reviews I get. Faultless housekeeping, plus my net investment income has never even been as close to what I am receiving now in all of the 12 years I have owned the property.
Kathryn
I love everything about the way Hometime operates. They are very professional and have a superior understanding of how the Airbnb market operates. Their housekeeping is faultless, plus my net investment income has never even been close to what I am receiving now.
Kathryn
We had a great time staying at Belinda's place. Bright, clean, spacious, airy. What more could you ask for from a home that is close walking distance to Mermaid Beach, Pacific Fair and the Broadbeach restaurants!
Mark
Ben Eldred has been excellent all around! He's very accommodating to my needs to block out days for family and friends over the on-again-off-again Covid period. We look forward to working with Ben and Hometime in the months to come. I would highly recommend Ben!
