Earn 40–80% More Than Long-Term Rental with Professional Airbnb Management

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.

Your property is listed on professional short-term rental — listing your property on platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com for nightly or weekly stays, rather than a traditional 12-month lease — platforms. Guests are vetted through platform reviews, verification systems, and host communication. UniqueStays has strict guest screening and cancellation policies to minimize risk.

For both UniqueStays Direct and UniqueStays Yield+, we handle all guest communication and dispute resolution. You're protected by platform guarantees and our comprehensive insurance.

Professional short-term rental properties experience normal wear equivalent to 2-3 traditional rental years. UniqueStays manages this through:

• Professional cleaning between every guest
• Regular maintenance inspections
• High-quality furnishings and fixtures
• Guest damage insurance coverage
• Proactive maintenance, not reactive

Many owners find their properties better maintained under professional short-term rental management than in traditional long-term leases.

Short-term rental guests differ from long-term tenants. UniqueStays minimizes noise and neighbour issues through:

• Clear house rules communicated to every guest
• Guest reviews highlight responsible guests
• Swift response to any noise complaints
• No all-night parties or disruptive bookings
• Strict guest vetting and communication

Most properties experience minimal disruption. Our strata management coordination ensures neighbours are informed and issues are resolved quickly.

Short-term rental regulations vary by suburb, council, and strata scheme. Common rules include:

• Maximum days per year (often 180-365)
• Registration or approval requirements
• Strata by-laws and owner approval
• Zoning and land use restrictions

UniqueStays reviews local regulations for every property before listing. We handle strata notifications and compliance documentation. Speak with our team to confirm your property is eligible.

UniqueStays carries comprehensive insurance covering guest damage, theft, and liability. We handle all issues 24/7:

• Guest disputes resolved through platform mediation
• Damage claims processed via insurance
• Emergency repairs coordinated immediately
• Guest communication and support
• Local council/neighbour issues managed

With our experience across 175+ bookings, we handle every scenario professionally. You're protected by platform guarantees, insurance, and our operational expertise.
