Profit
Is an Airbnb in Hawks Nest Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Hawks Nest Airbnb took in A$23,586 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$1,200 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$2,060 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$3,060 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$1,460 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$1,030 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 Hawks Nest's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Hawks Nest listings are booked on 39% or more of their nights, against 24% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of A$340 adds about A$3,380 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge A$455 a night or more, against a median of A$340. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about A$2,050 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about A$5,940, against A$1,840 in August, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Hawks Nest listings average 4.66 stars, and 16% 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$3,330 a month, against A$1,970 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Hawks Nest?
The average booked night in Hawks Nest cost A$378 before fees. Half of listings charge between A$255 and A$455, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Hawks Nest?
All active Hawks Nest listings display a registration, permit or license number. The share shows what hosts display, not what the rules allow, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Hawks Nest?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Hawks Nest Airbnb grossed A$23,586 in the 12 months to September 2026, 50% below the New South Wales average of A$46,850. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, A$14,416 a year (about A$1,200 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent.
