Gross bookings per Torquay listing averaged A$21,062 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Queensland average: A$48,565), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Torquay listing brought in A$4,380 in July, its best month, and A$2,170 in November, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 2.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Torquay Airbnb took in A$21,062 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$1,080 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$1,750 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$2,580 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$1,290 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$920 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.

Permits
None of the 45 active listings in Torquay display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
