Our Story

How Short Stay Property Management transformed from listing a spare bedroom to a thriving national management business.

It all started with a simple idea, sharing a spare bedroom on Airbnb. What seemed like a small leap turned into a life-changing journey.

'Super Host' status was just the beginning

What began as an experiment quickly transformed into a passion. Within months we had earned Super Host status, a reward for hosting dozens of satisfied guests and one that we proudly maintain to this day despite managing dozens of properties nationally.

We didn’t stop there, the more we dove into the world of short stays, the more we realized there was a pressing demand for something different: a seamless, reliable, and high-quality hosting experience.

Birth of a business

That’s when everything clicked. By joining the Airbnb co-host program, we discovered the untapped potential for property owners who needed a trustworthy, hands-on team to manage their investments. There was a gap, and we were uniquely positioned to fill it.

Armed with a team of seasoned professionals—dedicated cleaners, top-tier tradespeople, and local experts—we were able to offer a one-stop property management solution and Short Stay Property Management was born.

Melbourne to national

We didn’t stop at just managing one property. Soon we expanded our service across Melbourne’s inner city and beyond taking on properties interstate. What set us apart? Our un-rivalled local knowledge. Our team isn’t just a group of property managers; we’re area experts. We know every hidden café, every corner of the city, and every local experience in the cities we operate in that make a stay unforgettable.

Our mission is clear: Maximize rental returns for property owners while offering guests an authentic local experience. No more cookie-cutter stays but exceptional homes and unforgettable memories from their stay with us.

The Secret to Our Success? Impeccable service

For us property management isn’t just about booking guests or cleaning houses—it’s about crafting experiences, building relationships, and delivering on promises. We have a dedicated guest service team that ensures we provide impeccable customer service. Whether it’s a guest experiencing their first night in Melbourne, sailing on the Great Barrier Reef or an owner looking to maximize the return on their investment, we go the extra mile.

Let's partner up

As a boutique property management business our clients will always deal with one of the owners of the business when it comes to their property. We don’t have a turnover of property managers and are proud to still manage properties we took on when we started.

As property owners who manage our own properties, so we understand how important it is to deliver strong returns and maintain properties to a high standard.

We’d love to partner with like minded owners who value exceptional personal service, to unlock the full potential of your most prized investment.

Get in touch because your property deserves the kind of attention that only Short Stay Property Management can provide.
