"Gabriel and his team are excellent Airbnb managers. We have used their team to manage our property on several occasions, and each time the results have been excellent, and I couldn’t recommend HomeHost more highly."

"Gabriel and the Homehost team have managed our property for 5 years and came recommended from friends. It feels like good teamwork that builds the success as we come and go from the property too. They are always up for discussions and we make adjustments as to what will work best. The Homehost team are reliable and house always clean and welcoming when we return."

"We used HomeHost to rent out our property while we were on an extended trip overseas and I could not recommend Gabriel and the rest of the team more highly. Gabriel was super responsive throughout, extremely proactive in finding tenants and generally managed the whole process seamlessly. We didn’t have any issues to deal with for the 5 months+ that HomeHost was managing the rental. Great company and great service. Highly recommended. 5/5"

Peak weekly income
This Melbourne-based owner wanted stronger returns from his investment while still being able to stay in the apartment when visiting Sydney. By switching from a traditional lease to HomeHost's professionally managed short-term rental model, he increased his average weekly income while retaining complete flexibility over when the property was available.
"Wonderful to deal with, over-delivers on promises. If you want to be well cared for as a tenant or the landlord, look no further."

In most cases, you won't need council approval to offer short-term accommodation in Balmain, but your property must comply with NSW short-term rental accommodation (STRA) regulations and any applicable strata by-laws. As part of our Airbnb hosting service, HomeHost can help you understand the requirements before you get started.
Every property is different, but many professionally managed short-term rentals can generate higher returns than a traditional lease, particularly during peak demand periods. We offer a free property appraisal to estimate your property's earning potential based on its location, size, features and current market conditions.
Balmain's heritage terraces, waterfront homes, apartments and character-filled cottages are all popular with guests seeking an authentic Sydney stay. Combined with professional Airbnb guest management, compelling listings and dynamic pricing, well-presented properties are well positioned to attract strong occupancy and premium nightly rates.
We make the transition as straightforward as possible. From preparing your property and creating a high-performing listing to Airbnb guest service management, cleaning, pricing and ongoing operations, HomeHost manages the entire process so you can start earning with confidence.
We are a licensed property-management company specialising in short-term rental accommodation (think Airbnb-style stays) in Sydney. We manage everything from marketing your property online, styling, cleaning, supplying the linen, guest enquiries, organising any maintenance issues and everything in between so property owners don’t have to worry about the daily operational details.
We’ll introduce ourselves as HomeHost, the on-call concierge for their stay. Once guests are aware that we’re a dedicated host, they’re more likely to call or email us with any questions.
If any damage occurs, we document it immediately and notify you. We handle guest communication and, if necessary, lodge a claim through Airbnb’s AirCover for Hosts. Repairs or replacements are arranged quickly to minimise disruption and protect your property. We handle the process.
We collect all the funds from the bookings, pay the channels their commission and send you your payout the first week of the new month.
