The choice is clear when you compare local expertise and lower fees against a national chain owned by an overseas corporation
MadeComfy charges between 20-30% in management fees. Lane Property charges just 18%, meaning you keep thousands more each year. On a property earning $120,000 annually, that's an extra $2,400-$14,400 in your pocket.
MadeComfy is a Sydney-based company recently acquired by OYO, an Indian multinational. Lane Property is 100% Queensland-owned and operated, with deep local knowledge of Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast markets. We understand Queensland tourism patterns, local regulations, and what guests want.
Our portfolio-wide occupancy rate of 84% significantly exceeds MadeComfy's reported average of around 53% in comparable markets. This means more bookings, more income, and less time with your property sitting empty. Our local expertise and dynamic pricing deliver results.
Say goodbye to call centres and generic support teams. Every Lane Property owner gets a dedicated account manager who knows your property intimately. You'll have their direct contact details and can expect same-day responses. We're a boutique service, not a corporate machine.

Everything you need to know about making the move to Lane Property
Switching is straightforward and we handle most of the work for you. We'll coordinate with MadeComfy to transfer your listings, manage the handover of keys and access codes, and ensure there's no gap in bookings. Most transitions are completed within 2-3 weeks. We'll also review your existing photos and listings to optimise them for better performance under our management.
All existing bookings are honoured and transferred seamlessly. We'll coordinate the transition date to occur between bookings when possible, or we'll manage the handover during an existing reservation to ensure guests experience no disruption. Your calendar, pricing, and house rules all transfer over, and we can make improvements from there.
No, your reviews stay with your property listing. When we take over management, all your existing reviews, ratings, and Superhost status (if applicable) remain intact. We'll maintain and improve upon this foundation with our commitment to 5-star guest experiences. Many properties see their ratings improve after switching due to our attention to detail and faster response times.
MadeComfy typically charges 20-30% depending on your property and service level. Lane Property charges a flat 18% for full-service management with no hidden fees. For a property earning $120,000 annually, switching from 25% to 18% saves you $8,400 per year. That's money back in your pocket for the same (or better) level of service, higher occupancy rates, and local expertise.
Everything you need: professional photography, listing creation and optimisation across all major platforms (Airbnb, Booking.com, Stayz), dynamic pricing, 24/7 guest communication, cleaning coordination, maintenance management, linen supply, guest check-in/check-out, monthly reporting, and a dedicated account manager. The only additional costs are the actual cleaning and maintenance expenses, which are passed through at cost.
Yes, we exclusively manage properties in Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast. This focused approach means we're true experts in Queensland's short-term rental markets. We understand local tourism patterns, regulatory requirements, seasonal demand, and what Queensland guests are looking for. Unlike national chains that spread their resources thin, we dedicate all our expertise to these three high-performing markets.
Our standard is same-day response for all owner enquiries during business hours. For urgent matters, your dedicated account manager is available via direct phone and email. This is a significant difference from larger corporate operations where you might wait days for a response from a general support queue. You'll have a real person who knows your property and can make decisions quickly.
Most property management contracts have termination clauses, typically requiring 30-90 days notice. We recommend reviewing your contract with MadeComfy to understand the terms. Even if you need to wait out a notice period, we can begin planning your transition, optimising your listing strategy, and preparing everything so you can switch as soon as your contract allows. The savings you'll make with Lane Property will quickly offset any wait time.
Our portfolio-wide occupancy rate of 84% speaks for itself. We achieve this through aggressive dynamic pricing, optimised listings across multiple platforms, fast response times to booking enquiries, and deep knowledge of Queensland tourism patterns. Many properties see occupancy improvements within their first few months with us. We'll analyse your current performance and provide a realistic projection during your free rental assessment.
