Best Airbnb Management Companies in Surf Coast - Bellarine Peninsula, Australia
Updated October, 2026Based on data from Airbtics, this page lists leading Airbnb management companies ranked by the Host Score, a score out of 100 combining guest reviews, Guest Favorite share, occupancy, and local operating experience. Verified operators with a public website include a link to their full profile.
Companies are ranked by the Host Score, a score out of 100 based on guest satisfaction, occupancy and operating scale.
How the score works
| Factor | Maximum points |
|---|---|
| Guest rating | 30 |
| Guest Favorite share | 30 |
| Occupancy | 30 |
| Operating scale | 10 |
Guest ratings earn 0 points at 4.3 or below, increasing evenly to 30 points at 4.8 or above.
Guest Favorite share and occupancy each earn 0.3 points per percentage point. For example, 75% occupancy earns 22.5 points. The occupancy comparison against the median does not affect the score.
Operating scale
We add together the days each company’s listings were live in this market over the past 12 months, converted to listing-months (days / 30). For example, 10 listings live every day of the past year contribute 120 listing-months.
- Small: fewer than 120 listing-months — 0 points.
- Medium: 120–240 listing-months — 5 points.
- Large: more than 240 listing-months — 10 points.
These labels reflect last-12-month portfolio activity, rather than the company’s age.
How to read the table
- Occupancy and daily rate are listing-weighted averages for the company’s Airbnb listings in this market over the past 12 months.
- Guest Favorites shows the percentage of its listings currently carrying Airbnb’s Guest Favorite badge.
- The +/− occupancy figure shows the difference in percentage points from the median occupancy of the companies in this table.
- Rating highlights identify scores of 4.8 or above as standouts and scores below 4.4 as low.
