Profit
Is an Airbnb in Atherton Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Atherton Airbnb took in A$28,962 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$1,640 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$2,910 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$1,740 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$1,790 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$1,410 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 Atherton's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Atherton listings are booked on 58% or more of their nights, against 38% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of A$190 adds about A$1,880 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge A$260 a night or more, against a median of A$190. 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$2,720 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about A$4,040, against A$1,560 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Atherton listings average 4.70 stars, and 35% 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$4,240 a month, against A$2,410 for the average one.

Yes, when it's run well. The average Atherton Airbnb grossed A$28,962 in the 12 months to September 2026, 40% below the Queensland average of A$48,565.
