The relevant comparison is not the headline percentage. It is what you actually receive for that fee, and what you pay in total including sign-up costs, photography, and any features not covered by the standard package.
With AU Smart Rentals, the 18% fee includes everything in the table above from day one. There are no setup charges and no features locked behind a premium tier.
What Does Airbnb Management Cost in Sydney?
Management fees across Sydney typically range from 15% to 25% of revenue depending on the operator and what is included. Headline rates are not the full picture. Some companies charge 15% but add $599 in sign-up fees, $600 for photography, and exclude maintenance coordination, dynamic pricing, and linen.
When comparing options, calculate total cost across a full year of operation including all setup costs and any services charged separately. A 25% net rate with $1,200 in setup fees costs significantly more in year one than an 18% accommodation fare rate with no setup costs at all.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Our fee is commission-based on accommodation fare earned. If there are no bookings in a given month, there is no management fee for that month.
Everything listed in the inclusions above. There are no add-ons and no features available only at a higher tier.
We document property condition with photos before and after every stay. Damage claims are managed through the relevant platform’s protection policies and, where applicable, your landlord insurance. We assist you through the claims process.
Yes. You retain full control over your property’s availability. Block-out dates are managed through your owner portal and take effect immediately.
The 180-night cap is an NSW government restriction that limits non-hosted short-term rentals in most Sydney council areas to 180 nights per calendar year. We take care of this entirely — managing your calendar to optimise revenue within the cap, and filling the remaining days with medium-term bookings of at least 21 nights so your property never sits idle.
We manage properties across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs and Inner City, including Bondi Beach, Surry Hills, Paddington, and Coogee. Contact us to confirm coverage for your specific suburb.
