Short-Stay Management in Perth: What We Handle for You
Running a short-stay or holiday rental yourself means answering guest messages at all hours, organising a clean after every stay, adjusting prices and keeping on top of the rules. It's a lot. With short-stay management in Perth, a local team takes on that work, and you keep the decisions that matter to you.
Here's exactly what we handle, what you still control, and how to get started.

What owners worry about, and who handles it
| What owners worry about | What we do |
|---|---|
| Getting the listing right | Professional photos, a clear description and listings on booking platforms such as Airbnb, Booking.com, or Stayz |
| Setting the right price | Adjust nightly rates for the season, events and demand, then review them regularly |
| Guest messages and check-in | Answer enquiries, screen bookings, send check-in details and stay on call during each stay |
| Cleaning and linen | Provide clean linens and organise a professional clean and fresh linen after every stay |
| Repairs and maintenance | Arrange repairs and let you know about anything significant before we spend |
| Rules and registration | Help with WA short-term rental registration and checking your strata rules |
| Knowing how it's going | Send monthly statements showing bookings, income and costs |
What you still control
Handing over the day-to-day work doesn't mean handing over the property. You still choose:
- The dates you want to block out for your own use
- House rules, such as whether pets or children are allowed
- Spending limits for repairs before we check with you
- Whether to stay with short-stay, or switch to a long-term tenant later
Apartments, houses and holiday homes
We manage short-stay accommodation in and around the Perth CBD. If you own a holiday home you use for part of the year, see our short-stay management page.
Because we know the Perth inner-city market building by building, we can tell you how your building's location, layout and amenities are likely to affect demand.
The rules, handled with you
In WA, short-term rental accommodation must be registered, and many strata buildings have their own by-laws on short-stay use. Some councils also require approval. We'll help you work through each step before your first guest arrives. Our short-stay team can explain registration in more detail.
What it costs
Short-stay management is usually charged as a percentage of booking income, with cleaning often charged per stay.
Our team also keeps an eye on demand all year. We suggest nightly rates to suit the season, school holidays and major Perth events, and adjust them as bookings come in, so your pricing keeps pace with the market. You always have the final say.
How to get started
- Free earnings estimate. We look at your property, your building's rules and demand nearby.
- Set-up. Furnish the property yourself, or we can help with furnishing it to suit guests. We also take care of photos, registration and the listing.
- Guest Management. We handle bookings, guest communication, check-ins/outs and cleaning from day one.
- Ongoing reporting. You get regular statements and direct contact with our team.
