Sound familiar?
- Your calendar is too quiet
Bookings are harder to win this year. We price every night from live market data and sharpen the listing so it shows up and gets booked, not just in peak season.
- Your prices get set and forgotten
Ours change every day with demand, events and school holidays, and you can see every change in your live portal without asking.
- You keep chasing your manager for answers
One team with set hours, and a live portal showing every booking and every dollar, so you can see what’s happening at any time.
- You’re worried about guests
Every guest is ID-checked and screened before they arrive, house rules are clear, and every stay gets a review from us.
- You’re giving away a big cut
Most managers charge 15% to 30% plus GST, usually of the full booking. Ours is 12.5% falling to 3%, GST included, worked out after Airbnb’s fees and cleaning.
- You don’t want to be locked in
Your listing, reviews and booking system stay in your name. No setup fee, one month’s notice to leave in your first year (three months after that), and everything goes with you.
Still with another manager? Join our Renovation tier while you give notice, and we start your setup when you’re ready.

Renovating, furnishing, still building, or waiting to leave your current property manager? Join now and we help you design and set it up for guests, then move you onto full management when you’re about 2 weeks from going live. Homes we help design from the start are far more likely to reach the results we expect. When owners come to us after it’s finished, we have to work with what’s there.
- We help design it with you
Layout, furniture, styling, linen and setup, all chosen for what guests book. Working with a designer? We work with them.
- Advice whenever you need it
Call or message us with questions while the work is going on.
- A check-in every 2 weeks
One email, two buttons: “Still renovating” keeps you on $200, “We’re about 2 weeks from going live” starts your setup.
- Join within 7 days and keep the 10%
Sign up within 7 days of your call and the 7-day offer ($340 a month for 3 months, then 10% for the next 9 months) is kept. It starts the day you go live, not when you join.
We don’t list the home during the Renovation tier. When you’re ready, the normal full management price (or your 7-day offer price) starts that day, charged for the rest of that month.

Is Launceston worth it? Running an Airbnb in Launceston
Understanding the Launceston short-stay market
Launceston City Council sits within the Launceston And North East Airbnb and short-term rental market. The verified service area includes Bangor, Blessington (part), Burns Creek, Dilston, East Launceston, Golconda (part), Invermay, Karoola and surrounding localities.
Demand can change across weekends, school holidays, public holidays, local events and quieter periods. Pricing and minimum-stay settings should be reviewed throughout the year rather than treated as fixed.
Could an Airbnb in Launceston make money?
A suitable Launceston City Council property can perform strongly when its layout, condition, amenities, guest capacity and location match the local short-stay market. Results are property-specific and should be assessed using comparable listings, current booking demand, operating costs and the property’s lawful use.
Use the Check Your Property analyser and book a call so Wealth Through Property can review the address, likely guest market and management requirements without making an income guarantee.
