Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Kiama?
Gross bookings per Kiama listing averaged A$56,509 over the 12 months to September 2026 (New South Wales average: A$46,850), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Kiama listing brings in A$8,850 in January, its best month, and A$4,260 in June, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: January leads December by 3%, and June sits just 4% below May, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 34% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 2.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn A$12,800+ a month, about 2.7 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn A$7,930 or more, roughly A$3,100 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about A$4,800 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn A$2,640 or less, about 55% of the median.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.
The typical Kiama listing earns about A$4,800 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb revenue calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Is an Airbnb in Kiama Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Kiama Airbnb took in A$56,509 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$2,910 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$4,840 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$7,230 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$3,510 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$2,490 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 Kiama's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Kiama listings are booked on 59% or more of their nights, against 36% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of A$480 adds about A$4,810 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge A$710 a night or more, against a median of A$480. 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$4,930 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about A$8,850, against A$4,260 in June, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Kiama listings average 4.78 stars, and 44% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
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$7,780 a month, against A$4,710 for the average one.
