Our home suburb,
and the top earner

Rated 4.98/5 on Airbnb

Palm Beach earns more than any of the ten Gold Coast suburbs we track: $87,693 a year on average, up 11.5%, at the highest nightly rate ($435). Listings are growing slowly, up 7.8%, so new competition is limited.

Hauz Management is based in Palm Beach and manages short-stays across the suburb: pricing, listings, guests, cleaning and maintenance, so your property earns more with less effort.

What Palm Beach guests want, and how we deliver it

Who stays

Families with children, couples, guests after a relaxing beach getaway, water-sports lovers and pet owners. Guests book about 60 days ahead and stay around 5 nights.

What they love

A short walk to the beach, cafés and restaurants, parks and walking paths along Tallebudgera Creek, a family-friendly feel and ocean views.

What they complain about, and how we fix it

Limited parking in some streets, construction noise, cleanliness in some homes, maintenance and inconsistent communication from hosts. Parking and construction come with a growing suburb. Cleanliness, maintenance and slow replies are management problems: hotel-standard cleaning, regular upkeep and fast guest messaging fix them, and they show up in your reviews.

What guests expect

Air-conditioning (91% of listings) and parking (85%) are standard in Palm Beach. Only 63% of homes have a pool and 13% a spa, so either one helps you stand out with families.
