~ and it completely changed how we looked at travel.

Read Our Story

We're an ordinary Australian family who figured out how to list our home, earn real income during school holidays and long weekends, to fund the holidays we thought weren't possible.

These days we're also tracking every other bit of extra income that gets us closer to the next trip ~ you can see how below.

Made for Australians.

Australian beach day — the kind of family holiday Host & Holiday helps everyday Aussie homeowners fund through Airbnb hosting. Host and Holiday is made specifically for Australians who want to rent their home out and travel Australia and overseas.

Most hosting resources online are generic. The rules in Australia are different than overseas. The tax system is different. The terminology is different.

Everything at Host & Holiday is built specifically for the Australian context . State-by-state rules, ATO-aligned tax guidance, Australian emergency services, and advice that comes from actually doing this ourselves.

Every guide, template and tool we sell comes from real experience. We built the resources we wished existed when we started listing our home.

Airbnb started as a platform for everyday people.

Not investors. Not property managers. Regular people with a spare room or a family home and a reason to travel.

Host & Holiday exists to help you do exactly that ~ simply, confidently, and without handing a percentage of your income to someone else.

But we know hosting isn't for everyone. Plenty of families we talk to are stacking a few smaller income streams instead, or alongside it ~ that's what the Holiday Fund is all about.
