The Real Numbers Behind Brisbane Short-Stay Income
No hypotheticals. These are real Brisbane properties under Laurea Stays management — what they earned on a long-term lease versus what they earn now.
Case Study 01
From $995 a Week to $9,800 a Month
This two-bedroom apartment in the Brisbane CBD was earning $995 per week on a standard long-term lease — around $51,740 a year before a single expense.
Under Laurea Stays management, the same apartment now averages $9,800 per month in short-stay revenue at 91% occupancy — that's $117,600 a year, a 127% increase on its long-term figure.
In one December, another of our Brisbane CBD apartments — a two-bed, two-bath unit previously leased at $4,000 per month — generated $14,000 in revenue, with the owner taking home $12,461.04 after all expenses. That's more than three times the old lease in a single month.

Why Short-Stay Out-Earns a Lease
Dynamic Nightly Pricing
Rates are adjusted daily across every platform. A fixed weekly rent can never capture what your property is worth on its best nights.
Peak Event Periods
Riverfire, New Year's Eve, school holidays, and major events push Brisbane nightly rates far above what a lease ever pays. Long-term tenants pay the same rent that week — short-stay doesn't.
Multi-Platform Distribution
Your property is listed on Airbnb, Booking.com, Stayz, and VRBO simultaneously — more demand competing for the same calendar.
Professional Presentation
Professional photography, styling, and hotel-quality amenities lift both the nightly rate a property commands and its occupancy.
