We prepare and lodge itFloor plan with occupancy per bedroom, on-site parking and your local contact, lodged with Noosa Council on your behalf.
We set it up on siteThe approval sign goes up at the front, and the occupancy and parking rules go into every guest's house rules.

How much does Airbnb management cost in Noosa?

18% + GST of accommodation revenue, or 15% + GST if you have two or more properties, plus a $500 one-off setup fee. Cleaning is charged to the guest. Noosa Council's own application and renewal fees are paid to council, separate from our fee. There's no lock-in.

Is Hastings Street exempt from the Noosa short-stay approval?
