Profit
Is an Airbnb in Alstonville Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Alstonville Airbnb took in A$42,700 in the 12 months to October 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$2,600 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about A$3,700 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How Alstonville's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Alstonville listings are booked on 84% or more of their nights, against 68% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of A$205 adds about A$2,070 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge A$365 a night or more, against a median of A$205. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about A$4,270 a year.
- Open for the busy months. January brought the average listing about A$5,590, against A$3,820 in June, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about A$5,030 a month, against A$3,560 for the average one.
