Profit
Is an Airbnb in Woolloomooloo Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Woolloomooloo Airbnb took in A$89,500 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$4,820 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$6,710 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$8,770 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$5,550 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$4,150 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.

- Open for the busy months. December brought the average listing about A$12,400, against A$7,680 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Woolloomooloo listings average 4.80 stars, and 41% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
