We're a real Australian family who lists our home during school holidays to fund our travel. This is the guide we wish we'd had from day one.
When we first thought about listing our place on Airbnb, we didn't know where to start. Council rules? Tax? Photos that actually get bookings? We Googled everything, pieced together advice from forums, and made more mistakes than we'd like to admit. This guide is everything we learned, written so you don't have to do it the hard way.
What's inside:
Australian rules, explained simply ~ what to check with your council before you list, state-by-state differences, and the bits people usually get wrong
Tax basics ~ what the ATO actually wants from you, in plain English
A pricing strategy built around school holidays ~ so you're not guessing what to charge
Photography tips ~ simple ways to make your home look its best, no photographer needed
Guest communication, sorted ~ what to say and when, so you're not scrambling mid-holiday
How to manage it all while you're away ~ because the whole point is funding your holiday, not spending it glued to your phone
Plus three ready-to-use templates: an Essentials Checklist, a Cleaning Checklist, and a House Rules template ~ so you're not starting from a blank page.
No agent fees. No overwhelm. Just the guide from a family who actually does this ourselves, season after season. 🌴
