The Nest, Leichhardt
"Tejas and the UniqueStays team have been fantastic. They handle everything from guests to maintenance. It's the most hands-off, stress-free property investment I've had. Highly recommended for any owner wanting to earn more with less work."

"I switched to UniqueStays Yield+ because I wanted to maximize my returns. The transparency is incredible — I can see every booking, every guest review, and every A$ earned. Their premium listings strategy has driven occupancy beyond what I expected. Real professionals."
UniqueStays Direct is a 12–24 month lease where UniqueStays pays you above-market guaranteed rent fortnightly, regardless of how many guests book. It's predictable passive income with zero management required — no revenue sharing, no complexity, and no management fees (saving you the 6–8% a traditional property manager would charge).
UniqueStays Yield+ is a flexible management partnership where you keep 80–85% of booking revenue. We charge a 15–20% management fee based on property quality, support level, and STR availability. Cleaning, consumables, and utilities are billed to you separately each month. Higher earning potential, but returns are not guaranteed and vary with occupancy, seasonality, and market conditions.
Choose UniqueStays Direct if you prioritize certainty and hands-off income. Choose UniqueStays Yield+ if you want maximum returns and are comfortable with variable revenue and operational costs.
UniqueStays Direct agreements are 12–24 month fixed leases, so switching during this period requires negotiation. UniqueStays Yield+ is flexible — you can switch or cancel with 30 days' notice.
We recommend discussing your goals with our team before signing to choose the right model from the start.
