How much does Airbnb management cost in Sydney, Melbourne and the Gold Coast?
Cosy Stays charges a transparent, performance-based fee of 18% (inclusive of GST) on your gross accommodation revenue across all our service regions. There are no lock-in contracts or hidden maintenance markups.
Are there any upfront setup fees?
We do not charge an agency onboarding fee. You cover the direct, at-cost expenses of making your property market-ready, including professional twilight photography, a digital smart-lock and mandatory safety compliance checks such as smoke alarms. We organise all of this at direct pass-through cost.
Who pays for the cleaning and linen?
The departing guest pays for turnover cleaning and commercial hotel-linen hire through the platform’s designated cleaning fee. This expense does not reduce your nightly accommodation revenue.
Am I locked into a 12-month contract?
No. We believe in earning your business every month through superior financial returns and immaculate property care. If your circumstances change, you can exit with standard professional notice to honour existing guest bookings.
