Airbnb market data · 202612 months to October 2026
The average Airbnb in Nulkaba brought in A$84,369 over the 12 months through October 2026, about 68% more than the New South Wales average of A$50,323.
The short answer
Nulkaba earns on price rather than volume. Listings averaged A$801 a night and were booked on 30% of available nights, against A$470 and 41% for the New South Wales average.
Timing matters: in July, usually the best month, the average listing earns about twice as much as in May, usually the slowest. With only 46 active listings, a few bookings can reorder the months.
With 46 active listings, Nulkaba is the 167th-largest of 321 New South Wales markets AirROI tracks. From a year earlier, average revenue rose 16% while the number of active listings grew 15%.

Gross bookings per Nulkaba listing averaged A$84,369 over the 12 months to October 2026 (New South Wales average: A$50,323), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Nulkaba listing brings in A$10,900 in July, its best month, and A$5,680 in May, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: July leads January by 1%, and May sits just 5% below February, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 3.7 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.

Average revenue per active listing, by month, October 2024 to September 2026
The dashed line is the average of the months shown, A$8,480. 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.
Latest 12 months in the October 2026 data. October's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to September.
January 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in May 2026 and bookings in December 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, July is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Nulkaba Airbnb took in A$84,369 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$4,800 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$9,180 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$5,170 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$5,230 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$4,140 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.
