Why the Gold Coast

A holiday market that pays you back.

One of Australia's most-booked leisure destinations. Strong nightly rates in peak, a property you can still enjoy yourself, and a local team running it all.

Use it yourself, whenever

Block out the dates you want in the owner portal and we keep them clear. Enjoy your place in peak season, let it earn the rest of the year.

Premium holiday demand

Beachfront and canal-front homes command strong nightly rates. We capture peak summer and event premiums most owners leave on the table.

Year-round visitor base

Summer holidays, winter escapes from the south, events and theme parks keep bookings coming well beyond the peak.

Real properties, real returns

Gold Coast homes we manage.

Net weekly return is after management, cleaning and channel fees. Long-term comparison is the equivalent long-term rental for the same property.

The switcher's view

Why Gold Coast owners switch to Lane.

Side by side with the national operators Gold Coast owners most often compare: MadeComfy, Hometime and Bedspoke.

Lane National operatorMadeComfy · Hometime · Bedspoke
Management fee 18% + GST, published Quote on request
Fee charged on Accommodation revenue Often total booking value
Lock-in contract 30-day rolling Fixed term
Gold Coast Based Property Manager Yes Limited
Owner-use blackout dates Easy, any time Limits amount per year
Director reachable Yes No

Based on publicly available information and a MadeComfy management agreement showing an 18% fee on total booking value. Some managers apply their percentage to the full booking value, which includes the cleaning fee. Lane charges on accommodation revenue only and bills cleaning to your guest at cost. Operator terms vary and can change, so confirm current terms with each provider.

Last questions before you commit

Gold Coast Airbnb management, answered.

How much does Airbnb management cost on the Gold Coast?
Lane charges 18% + GST of accommodation revenue, the amount guests pay for the stay itself, published upfront. No setup fees, no per-booking surcharges and no premium tiers. Cleaning is billed to your guest at cost, not added to our fee.
Can I still use the property myself?
Yes. It's your property. Block out the dates you want in the owner portal and we keep them clear of bookings, whether that's a long weekend or the whole summer. Plenty of Gold Coast owners holiday in their place through peak and let it earn the rest of the year.
How much can I earn from Airbnb on the Gold Coast?
It depends on location, size and presentation, but beachfront and canal-front properties earn well above a long-term lease, especially across summer and school holidays. Use the calculator above for a suburb and bedroom estimate, then get a free assessment for a property-specific forecast.
Which Gold Coast suburbs work best for Airbnb?
Beachfront and prime suburbs lead: Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Burleigh Heads, Palm Beach, Main Beach, Mermaid Beach and Miami. Canal and coastal areas like Mermaid Waters, Coolangatta, Currumbin, Hope Island and Paradise Point are strong, steady performers too.
What's the current Gold Coast short-stay rules position?
Short-stay letting is well established on the Gold Coast, with City of Gold Coast local laws plus body corporate by-laws that can apply in some buildings. Our Gold Coast regulations guide covers what applies to owners right now.
How long does onboarding take?
14 to 21 days from signed agreement to live listings across Airbnb, Stayz, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia. The process: free rental assessment (day 0 to 2), property visit and photography (day 2 to 7), styling and pricing setup (day 7 to 14), then listings go live (day 14 to 21).
How does Lane compare to MadeComfy, Hometime and Bedspoke?
A published 18% + GST fee rather than quote-on-request pricing. Director-led, with replies from the local team rather than a national call centre, and a manager who visits in person. A 30-day rolling agreement rather than fixed lock-ins. See the full MadeComfy comparison for detail.
What about damage, insurance and guest screening?
Every guest is screened and verified before they book. Stays are backed by Airbnb's AirCover host protection, and we can arrange short-stay specific cover through Terri Scheer for the gaps standard landlord insurance leaves. Any issue is handled by the local team, not an offshore queue.
Can I switch to Lane mid-lease with another manager?
Yes. We handle the changeover without taking your listing offline, so bookings transfer cleanly. The new agreement starts when your current one ends, usually within 30 days. Owners switching from MadeComfy, Hometime or Bedspoke often see their income improve within the first full month.
What occupancy can I expect on the Gold Coast?
Gold Coast is a leisure market, so occupancy peaks hard over summer, school holidays and events, and softens in quieter weeks. Our pricing balances high-season rates against occupancy to maximise total annual income rather than chasing one number.
How and when do I get paid?
Twice a month, straight to your account, not held back as one lump sum. Every payout comes with a line-item statement showing income, costs and our fee, and you can track bookings and earnings live in your owner portal any time.
