Gross bookings per Port Stephens Council listing averaged A$52,294 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 Port Stephens Council listing brings in A$10,500 in January, its best month, and A$3,860 in August, its slowest.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.8 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn A$13,600+ a month, about 3.5 times the typical property.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Port Stephens Council Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Port Stephens Council Airbnb took in A$52,294 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$2,640 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$5,090 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$7,120 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$3,240 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$2,270 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 Port Stephens Council's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Port Stephens Council listings are booked on 48% or more of their nights, against 30% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of A$510 adds about A$5,110 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge A$765 a night or more, against a median of A$510. 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$4,520 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about A$10,500, against A$3,860 in August, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Port Stephens Council listings average 4.66 stars, and 29% 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$8,300 a month, against A$4,360 for the average one.
