Worth it
Is an Airbnb Manager Worth It in South Australia?
In Adelaide, the only South Australia city AirROI compares, the typical company-run home earned 58% more Airbnb revenue than a similar owner-run home (same bedrooms and room type) over the 12 months to September 2026. A 20% fee needs a 25% lead to leave the owner level on revenue. Managers choose which homes they take on, so part of any lead reflects the homes.

About This Data
- Listings
- Active Airbnb listings over the 12 months to September 2026: open to bookings through the year, each counted once per company for its host and for every co-host. Airbnb only: homes listed only on Vrbo, Booking.com or a company's own site are not counted.
- Companies
- A company's Airbnb accounts with 5 or more active listings are joined into one company, so counts and shares are floors. Companies that manage homes for owners are ranked; hotels, resorts and booking platforms are counted in the totals but not ranked.
- Ratings
- Airbnb's guest rating, averaged across a company's listings and weighted by their reviews. Shown from 4.7 over 100 or more reviews; the best-rated order needs 25+ listings and 500+ reviews.
- Growth
- Listings added on a company's own Airbnb accounts over 12 months, for companies that ran 10 or more a year ago. Co-hosted listings from a year ago are not fully recorded, and a takeover or a rename shows as growth.
- Comparison
- The typical company-run home against the median owner-run home with the same bedrooms and room type, on homes listed all year, in the 1 South Australia cities with a management page and 50 or more homes in each group.
- Fees
- Published owner terms on company websites, checked September 29, 2026, pooled across the companies checked. No company's fee is shown.
- Independence
- No company can pay to be listed or ranked, and nothing is self-reported. The ranking is updated every quarter; this edition on October 20, 2026, the next in January 2027.
