professionally managed.
We operate in Melbourne's most sought-after precincts — delivering 5-star short-stay experiences that protect and enhance your property's value.

Passive income,
without the passive stress.
Long-term leases
We become your
long-term tenant
Guaranteed Rent, Every Month
We pay you a fixed lease amount each month — regardless of occupancy. No vacancies, no gaps, no chasing tenants.
Minimum 12-Month Lease
We commit to a minimum 12-month lease agreement, giving you long-term certainty and peace of mind.
Professionally Cleaned After Every Stay
Your property is professionally cleaned after each and every guest stay — presented to the highest standard, every single time. Our 5-star reputation depends on it.
Routine Inspections & Proactive Maintenance
We carry out regular property inspections to identify and fix minor issues before they become costly problems. Catching a leaking tap early saves an owner far more than an emergency plumber ever would.
We Take On All the Risk
Guest vetting, Airbnb management, cleaning coordination — all handled by us. Your property is in safe, experienced hands.
Agents & Referrers — Earn a Referral Fee
Real estate agencies and anyone who refers a property owner to us can earn a referral fee on a signed lease. Agents keep their management fee too.
Property care
Your property, kept in
exceptional condition.
Our reputation is built on 5-star guest experiences. That means your property is professionally cleaned, regularly inspected, and proactively maintained — not just when something breaks, but before it ever does. The result? Lower long-term costs for you, and a property that holds its value.
Professional clean after every stay
A dedicated cleaning team prepares your property to hotel standard between every single guest. Spotless presentation is non-negotiable — our 5-star rating depends on it.
Routine property inspections
We inspect your property regularly — not just when something goes wrong. Every visit is documented so nothing slips through the cracks.
Proactive maintenance saves you money
A dripping tap caught early costs next to nothing. Left unattended, it can mean water damage, mould, and a bill that runs into thousands. We find and fix small issues before they become expensive ones.
Your 5-star standard is our standard
Our business model only works when properties are presented at the highest possible level. That means your asset is consistently maintained — and consistently earning.
"A well-maintained property earns more, costs less, and holds its value longer. That's not a bonus — it's the whole point."

For real estate agents
Your management agreement
stays exactly as it is.
If you currently manage a property through a lease agreement with the owner, that arrangement doesn't change. The Guest House Co becomes the tenant — we sign the lease directly with the owner and sublease to short-stay guests. You keep managing the property, keep your fee, and your client continues to receive guaranteed rent. We simply operate in the background.
Your management agreement stays in place
Nothing changes between you, your client, and their property. The Guest House Co simply becomes the tenant — we sign the lease directly with the owner, and you continue to manage that relationship and collect your management fee as normal.
We sublease and run the short-stay
Once the lease is signed, we sublease the property to short-stay guests via Airbnb and other platforms. Guest management, cleaning, maintenance, and all day-to-day operations are entirely our responsibility — not yours.
Your client relationship stays yours
You remain your client's property manager and trusted advisor. We operate as the tenant and short-stay operator in the background. Your client deals with you; we deal with the guests.
Earn a referral fee for your agency
Introduce us to a property owner whose property is a good fit for short-stay. If we execute a signed lease, your real estate agency earns a referral fee — on top of your ongoing management income.
