Before you list

On the Gold Coast, your building matters more than a permit.

What decides whether you can let is where the property sits. Many towers in Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach were built for holiday letting. A house on a quiet residential street can be a different story.

No night capNo state levyNo state register
Worth checking before you list
Zoning and approvalDepending on your zone, a material change of use approval can apply. Council or a town planner can confirm for your address.
Body corporate and onsite managerRead your by-laws and check whether your building's letting agreement affects you.
Pool safetyIf the property has a pool, check whether you need a pool safety certificate before guests arrive.
InsuranceStandard landlord policies can exclude short stays. Ask your insurer about short-stay cover.

In a letting pool or with an agent?

Your apartment doesn't have to stay in the building's letting pool.

A lot of Gold Coast apartments sit with the onsite manager by default. Many owners can let privately instead. Check your by-laws first.

Questions Gold Coast owners ask

Gold Coast Airbnb management, answered.

How much does Airbnb management cost on the Gold Coast?

18% + GST of accommodation revenue, or 15% + GST if you have two or more properties. Cleaning is charged to the guest, not to you. There's no per-booking surcharge and no lock-in.

Can I still use my place for my own holidays?

Yes, whenever you want. Block any dates in your owner portal and we keep them clear of bookings.

Do I need council approval to Airbnb on the Gold Coast?

It depends on the property. Short-term accommodation is a use under the City Plan, and depending on your zone a material change of use approval can apply. Many holiday towers already allow it. Council or a town planner can confirm for your address.

My building has an onsite manager. Can I still use Lane?

Often, yes. Many owners can let privately instead of through the building's letting pool, but check your by-laws and any letting agreement first. Send us both and we'll take a look.

Which Gold Coast suburbs earn the most on Airbnb?

Across the properties we manage, the strongest weekly figures come from Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Burleigh Heads, Palm Beach and Miami. Two-beds there net $1,150 to $1,350 a week, averaged across the year.

What happens in the quieter months?

Prices drop to keep the place booked, and minimum stays sit at 2 nights so short winter trips fill the gaps.

How and when do I get paid?

Twice a month, on the 1st and the 16th, with a statement showing every booking, every cost and our fee.
