Host

What responsibilities does a short-term rental host have in Australia?

As a host, you're responsible for ensuring your property meets safety standards, maintaining cleanliness, responding promptly to guest inquiries, and complying with local regulations like NSW's STRA register or Victoria's 90-day caps in certain areas.

How can hosts optimise their listing for better bookings?

We recommend professional photography, detailed descriptions highlighting unique features, and setting competitive rates using our dynamic pricing tools. Keeping your calendar updated and offering flexible cancellation policies can also boost conversion rates.

What’s the best way to handle guest communication?

Our team manages all guest inquiries and bookings 24/7, ensuring quick responses and seamless coordination. We provide hosts with regular updates, so you’re always informed without needing to manage day-to-day messages.

How do we ensure compliance with local regulations?

We stay up to date with council rules, strata bylaws, and tax requirements across Australia. Our team handles registrations, safety checks, and reporting, so your property remains compliant without extra effort from you.

How does MadeComfy coordinate bookings with the rental host?

We sync directly with your calendar to avoid double bookings and provide real-time notifications for new reservations. Our team handles guest check-ins, cleaning coordination, and maintenance, while you receive monthly performance reports and payout summaries—keeping you informed while we manage the details.
