Profit
Is an Airbnb in Sussex Inlet Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sussex Inlet Airbnb took in A$25,610 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$1,310 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$2,250 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$3,280 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$1,590 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$1,130 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 Sussex Inlet's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Sussex Inlet listings are booked on 43% or more of their nights, against 27% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of A$315 adds about A$3,140 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge A$415 a night or more, against a median of A$315. 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$2,230 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about A$6,630, against A$1,820 in August, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Sussex Inlet listings average 4.78 stars, and 29% 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$3,620 a month, against A$2,130 for the average one.
