HOW HAVING A CO-HOST CAN HELP

INSPIRING HOST STORIES TO GET YOU STARTED

9/9/2026 12:53:50 AM

Hosting on Airbnb is designed to suit you, your time and your space. Getting ready for guests could be easier than you think – and could unlock your home’s earning potential**.

here are lots of great reasons to make ongoing improvements to your home, whether it’s transforming your garage into a recreational space, taking your spare room from messy to cosy, or simply making your home work better for the way you live. And what if those improvements could unlock even more potential? These kinds of projects might inspire you to look at your home a little differently. Ever thought about listing on Airbnb? As well as enhancing the way you live in your home, a space that’s stylish, functional and well cared for can also appeal to visitors. If you’ve been meaning to add a little character or tackle a DIY project, a trip to Bunnings and a little time on the tools could help bring that vision to life while making your property stand out. When it comes to hosting on Airbnb, all kinds of spaces could work. From a backyard studio to a spare room or even an entire home while you’re away, hosting could help turn underutilised space into an opportunity to earn extra income**. We’ve taken the guesswork out of it, so here’s everything you need to know.

WHAT COULD I EARN?** This depends on a few things, including your location, type of space, how often you host, and demand. Events like a big concert or a sports grand final could bring extra visitors to your area. Your ability to host may also depend on local laws. Estimate your earnings potential using the earnings calculator on airbnb.com.au/host**. DO I HAVE TO DO ALL THE WORK MYSELF? If you don’t have time to host – for instance, if you are too busy, or if you’re planning to travel for a while – you can find a co-host to help look after your listing (see Adam’s story on page 8). Co-hosts on the Co-Host Network^ are experienced hosts who can help support you and your home. Hosts and co-hosts agree between themselves what support is provided and on what terms. This can include things like messaging guests, handling check-in and organising things like cleaning and maintenance.

Hosting this character-filled rural retreat creates special moments for lucky guests.

Amy, four-bed country home, New South Wales Amy, a co-host for this Northern Rivers home, takes a guest-centric approach to hosting on Airbnb.

my’s hosting journey started with hosting at her own former home, a winery near Canberra. She and her husband, a licensed builder, renovated a cottage on the property and listed it on Airbnb. Before long, they were booked out nine months ahead, and people were asking for her advice. Now, as a co-host, Amy helps others with their listings on Airbnb. During her hosting journey, she’s learned many lessons – for example, that every element of a home needs to be guest-ready. “My number one thing is that if there is an amenity in a property, it needs to be working at its full capacity,” she says. “Different properties have all these different nuances, but if we’re including a TV, it has to work.” Preparing this lovely old home for guests meant respecting the character while enhancing the experience. “We didn’t necessarily want to turn a vintage-style property into a modern new

build,” says Amy. “It was about creating and celebrating the character it had, considering how we could use some of the features the guests were going to use – so obviously the beautiful outdoor fire pit area with festoon lights, and the barbecue.” Amy was also keen to give the place a premium feel. “That was about layering certain elements,” she says – items like quality bedding and towels, and warm lighting. Beyond simply making the property photograph well, Amy thinks through the functional elements that she knows help enhance the guest experience. “Bedside tables, cushions, full-length mirrors, those kind of things,” she lists. “Making sure all the bedrooms have blockout blinds; even going as far as hooks for towels. A guest is never going to say, ‘Oh I loved the hooks,’ but they’re definitely going to notice it from a functional point of view!” Functionality is an important factor when the couple renovate; hard-wearing finishes and durable products are high on

AMY’S TOP HOSTING TIPS

● Aim for fresh paintwork.

“There’s nothing worse than going into a house and there being marks and chips and whatever in the paintwork,” she says. ● Think about first impressions. “As a guest arrives, that’s when they’re clocking, ‘Hey, does this match the photos that I’ve seen,’” says Amy, noting the importance of the initial view of a tidy garden, clipped grass and neat entrance.

Bright, fresh paint and well-chosen tiles enhance the light flooding into this spacious bathroom through pretty coloured-glass windows.

Luxe effect Timber finishes and linens in muted blue give this bedroom its warm feel.

the upgrade list. “The way we look at it when we’re painting, renovating or styling a property is always – can you clean it, will it withstand a turnover, is it easily replaceable and will it still look good in 12 months’ time?” Amy explains. As an interior designer, Amy also often helps owners set up their place in preparation for listing on Airbnb, with her husband jumping in to help with the bigger changes when needed. Amy loves the insights she gets when reading reviews from guests. “What it is that they love about the property, my hosting, the ways we could improve different things,” she says. Amy shares this advice: “I always say that the guest experience comes first,” she says. Any extra income** they receive on the back end? “It’s just a by-product for creating memorable stays for people,” she says. Want to host but don’t have the time?

The 19th-century terrace boasts a full kitchen, three comfortable bedrooms and a roof terrace with city skyline views. Owners Georgia and James bought the property in 2021 and gave it a full renovation. When they recently left on a long overseas trip, Georgia turned to the Co-Host Network, where homeowners can find an experienced local host to take care of their home and guests. That’s how she found Adam. A former tennis coach, Adam began hosting his own place on Airbnb before becoming a co-host. He has plenty of hosting experience to share. Good photography is important, as is the listing: include the number of beds, a description of the house, its location – such as CBD proximity – and extras such as a barbecue or coffee machine. “A big one is the size of the bed – for example, if you have three king beds, and an ensuite,” he says. “The description means a lot, and the first five photos. You’ve got to really capture the imagination!” As well as being a co-host, Adam is also a volunteer community leader for a local host club in the Melbourne area. It’s a place for hosts to gather, connect, and share insights and experiences with community leaders and other

Very user-friendly,” he says. People have the flexiblity to choose when they host, and can manage their calendar to suit their schedule. Some people host year-round but others might only host for a weekend or when they are away travelling. The extra income could be used to help pay for flights or accommodation**. As a co-host, Adam puts in a stellar effort; in addition to tasks like cleaning and check-ins, he also arranges a welcome gift. “When guests tell you that you’ve made their holiday so special, that’s probably the best part,” he says.

you host it. “Spend a night, a weekend, cook some instant noodles!” says Bree. “Do whatever you want to do, but just make a little list of the stuff that you went to grab that you don’t have.” ● Think like a guest. “When I travel, I really want to eat where the locals eat, so I think providing that kind of information is great.” ● Include a thorough welcome guide. “I love a hard-copy welcome book with some beautiful photos and all the information that you could need. Wi-fi details, recommendations for restaurants, how to use the oven... If you are receiving the same message from guests over and over again, then that is something you definitely need to put in a welcome book and have available for them.”

This pretty listing on the Sunshine Coast was the starting point for Superhost Ambassador Bree’s journey hosting on Airbnb.

ree initially hadn’t considered becoming a host on Airbnb. “I had never stayed in one, I didn’t know anybody who had hosted,” she says. “I said I’d give it six months. So I threw everything that I had into it and I absolutely fell in love with it!” After years of hosting, Bree is now a Superhost Ambassador and shares her tips based on her experience, to help new hosts get started. The benefits of hosting on Airbnb have included helping to support the mortgage and contributing to ongoing home improvements**. “It’s been very successful,” says Bree. This two-bedroom apartment – the first Airbnb listing Bree tackled – wasn’t always so beachy chic. Bree bought the property along with its neighbouring twin in 2017, in “awful condition”, before carrying out a lot

of the work herself. “I became very familiar with the Bunnings process,” says Bree. “We bought everything there. I knew the aisles so well that I joked that once I’d finished hosting on Airbnb, I would make an excellent Bunnings employee!” The process had Bree working from a guest’s perspective. “I was thinking about how people would actually use the space,” she says. “Where would they put their suitcases, what would they use in the kitchen, was the lighting good?” Bree helps guide other hosts in the finer points of preparing a space for listing. She has developed a well-honed routine that includes a 10am check-out and 2pm check-in, a cleaner for most same-day turnarounds and thoroughly organised lockable storage.

“Good communication is really important; being as transparent as possible, and under-promising and over-delivering,” says Bree.

“I have three sets of linen for all the beds – one set on the bed, one in the wash and an extra set in case we have a week of rain and can’t get the stuff dry,” she explains. Bree says while you don’t have to have the most incredible place to be a host, little touches matter. “In so many of my reviews, guests have written, ‘Bree has thought of everything’ – like ear plugs and an eye mask for Friday or Saturday night, if you know there’s an event in town. I love little luxurious body washes and shampoos. I think you can really pick and choose where you save money and where you go a little bit all-out, and have a point of difference from everybody else. I am a sucker for quality linen!” If you’re curious about how to start hosting on Airbnb, or want to chat to a Superhost Ambassador to help you get started, head to airbnb.com.au/host. ●

1 2

Chat with a Superhost Ambassador for free one-on-one help. They have tips from their own experiences to help you get started.

Check your short-term renting rules. Regulations differ by area – check your state or territory, council, or strata rules before you start hosting. See ‘Responsible hosting in Australia’ in the Airbnb Help Centre.

Draw up a budget. Explore the earnings calculator on the Airbnb site to estimate your earnings potential**. Work out likely expenses, including Airbnb host service fees, cleaning, laundry and maintenance.

4 5 6

Check your place for safety hazards, and ensure that it is fully compliant with all local regulations.

Look into Airbnb’s AirCover for Hosts program. Think about whether you want additional short-term rental insurance, too.

Tackle any repairs and cosmetic upgrades so that your place looks its absolute best and is in perfect working order. Remember that any electrical or plumbing work needs to be done by licensed professionals.

List your space – good photography can show your place in its best light. Be honest about your space, its location and amenities.

Put together a welcome book (digital or otherwise). Include guides on appliances and things like accessing the wi-fi, and what’s available in the local area. Personal suggestions, such as for local cafes or restaurants, are a thoughtful addition.

Work out what you plan to supply – towels, shampoo, soap, tea and coffee, for example – and remember to factor the cost into your budget.

Decide who’ll handle cleaning, and work out how much time you’ll need between check-out and check-in on a sameday turnaround. If you need help managing guests, get a co-host.

Consult your calendar – hosting on Airbnb is flexible and you could host for a weekend, a week or longer. Check out the finer points on the Airbnb website, and complete your listing!
