Lesson: Kitchens and Dining – Equipping for Groups, Families and Long Stays

Module 4: Designing & Setting Up Your Airbnb

In short

Equip the kitchen and dining area for the largest group you list, not the average one. That means enough cookware, place settings and fridge space to cook and serve one meal for everyone at once, a seat at the table for every guest, reliable matching appliances including a dishwasher, safe storage, and a simple system to keep it stocked between stays.

Questions people ask

How many plates and glasses should an Airbnb have?

A common approach is the maximum guest count plus about 25 to 50 percent, so breakages and extra use don't leave guests short.

Should an Airbnb dining table seat every guest?

Ideally yes. Groups book holiday homes to eat together, and a table that seats only part of the group is a frequent cause of disappointment.

Do short-term rentals need a fire blanket and extinguisher?

Rules vary by state and property type. In NSW, the short-term rental fire safety standard requires both in apartment kitchens, and many hosts provide them in every property.
