Gross bookings per Golden Beach listing averaged A$20,396 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Victoria average: A$36,652), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Golden Beach listing brings in A$4,180 in January, its best month, and A$1,480 in August, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 35% 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 2.8 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.
These are market-wide figures. To see what one particular Golden Beach home could earn, enter its address, bedrooms and guests in the Airbnb revenue calculator; it compares the home with similar listings nearby.
Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Golden Beach Airbnb took in A$20,396 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$1,130 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$1,940 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$1,850 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$980 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.
