Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Shire of Baw Baw?

Gross bookings per Shire of Baw Baw listing averaged A$40,143 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 Shire of Baw Baw listing brings in A$5,180 in July, its best month, and A$3,510 in February, its slowest. September runs within 4% of February, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 28% 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 4.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn A$9,700+ a month, about 3.6 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn A$5,500 or more, roughly A$2,800 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about A$2,730 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn A$1,280 or less, about half of the median.

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.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Shire of Baw Baw Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Shire of Baw Baw Airbnb took in A$40,143 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$2,310 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$4,710 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$2,360 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$2,510 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$2,000 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 Shire of Baw Baw's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Shire of Baw Baw listings are booked on 49% or more of their nights, against 30% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of A$270 adds about A$2,680 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge A$400 a night or more, against a median of A$270. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings.

  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about A$5,180, against A$3,510 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Shire of Baw Baw listings average 4.90 stars, and 62% 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$6,740 a month, against A$3,350 for the average one.
