Gross bookings per Heathcote listing averaged A$29,784 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 Heathcote listing brings in A$3,470 in July, its best month, and A$1,800 in February, its slowest. January runs within 1% of July, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 29% 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 3.6 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.

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, A$2,960. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.

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.
Location, size and how a home is run move its income far more than a city average shows. For a range on one Heathcote address, run it through the Airbnb profit calculator.
Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Heathcote Airbnb took in A$29,784 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$1,750 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$3,440 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$1,370 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$1,860 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$1,510 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.

None of the 31 active listings in Heathcote 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.
Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Heathcote.
