How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Penola?
Gross bookings per Penola listing averaged A$35,591 over the 12 months to October 2026 (South Australia average: A$43,851), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Penola listing brings in A$3,950 in March, its best month, and A$2,240 in August, its slowest. January runs within 4% of March, 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 2.6 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn A$6,280+ a month, about 2.2 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn A$4,540 or more, roughly A$1,700 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about A$2,890 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn A$1,700 or less, about 59% 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.

Penola Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the October 2026 data. October's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to September.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in June 2026 and bookings in January 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, March is usually the strongest month.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.
The typical Penola listing earns about A$2,890 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb estimator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Is an Airbnb in Penola Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Penola Airbnb took in A$35,591 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$1,790 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$2,830 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$4,670 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$2,180 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$1,530 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 Penola's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Penola listings are booked on 52% or more of their nights, against 37% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of A$225 adds about A$2,270 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge A$315 a night or more, against a median of A$225. 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$3,090 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, March brings the average listing about A$3,950, against A$2,240 in August, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Penola listings average 4.81 stars, and 58% 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$4,660 a month, against A$2,970 for the average one.
