How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Nimbin?
Gross bookings per Nimbin listing averaged A$29,801 over the 12 months to September 2026 (New South Wales average: A$46,850), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Nimbin listing brings in A$3,790 in July, its best month, and A$1,920 in February, its slowest. June runs within 5% of July, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 3.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn A$6,520+ a month, about 2.8 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn A$4,110 or more, roughly A$1,800 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about A$2,350 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn A$1,290 or less, about 55% 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 Nimbin Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Nimbin Airbnb took in A$29,801 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$1,730 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$3,060 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$1,540 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$1,500 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 Nimbin's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Nimbin listings are booked on 61% or more of their nights, against 36% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of A$200 adds about A$2,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge A$250 a night or more, against a median of A$200. 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$2,830 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about A$3,790, against A$1,920 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Nimbin listings average 4.88 stars, and 68% 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$4,350 a month, against A$2,480 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Nimbin?

Is Airbnb profitable in Nimbin?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Nimbin Airbnb grossed A$29,801 in the 12 months to September 2026, 36% 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$20,811 a year (about A$1,730 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about A$3,060 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
