How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Shire of South Gippsland?

Gross bookings per Shire of South Gippsland listing averaged A$32,269 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 South Gippsland listing brings in A$5,970 in January, its best month, and A$2,690 in August, its slowest.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.6 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn A$6,820+ a month, about 2.7 times the typical property.

  • Typical properties (median) earn about A$2,560 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn A$1,290 or less, about half of the median.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Shire of South Gippsland Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Shire of South Gippsland Airbnb took in A$32,269 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$1,780 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$3,270 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$3,040 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$2,030 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$1,540 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.

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Shire of South Gippsland listings are booked on 52% or more of their nights, against 30% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of A$300 adds about A$3,020 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge A$380 a night or more, against a median of A$300.

  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about A$5,970, against A$2,690 in August, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Shire of South Gippsland listings average 4.80 stars, and 46% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
