"Sydney is brutal without data. The competition is intense and pricing wrong is expensive. The AussiStay report showed me where my suburb sat in the city-wide distribution — I was in the top quartile for location but not pricing accordingly."

Frequently Asked Questions — Sydney

What are Sydney's short-term rental regulations?

NSW has a state-wide STR framework. In Greater Sydney, unhosted STR is capped at 180 nights per year in many council areas. Some councils have a lower cap. Hosted STR (where the owner lives on-site) has different rules. Non-compliance carries significant penalties.

Which Sydney suburbs perform best for Airbnb?

Manly, Bondi Beach, the CBD, and Darlinghurst consistently achieve strong ADRs and occupancy. Harbour-view properties in Mosman and Kirribilli also command premium rates. Our report includes suburb-level benchmarks.

What is the average ADR for Airbnb in Sydney?

Sydney ADRs vary considerably by suburb, property type, and season. Inner-eastern beach suburbs typically average $200–$400+ per night for entire homes. Our report provides current benchmarks by property size and type.
