Short stay, mid stay or long lease. We'll find what earns you the most.
PlaceHosts manages short, medium and long-term rentals across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and Sydney. We handle pricing, guests, cleaning, linen and maintenance. You get the income and a clear report.
Why owners switch to us
Hosting is a 24/7 job. It shouldn't be yours.
Most owners come to us after running a listing themselves, or after a manager who went quiet. Guests message at midnight, cleaners cancel, prices sit flat through peak season, and a small repair turns into a big one because no one was checking.
PlaceHosts was started by a property owner who went looking for someone to manage his own apartment and found complicated pricing, hidden costs and managers who'd never owned a property. So we built the service we wanted as owners: clear costs, careful upkeep and honest advice.
We've hosted for over a decade, so we've seen most of what can go wrong. Our systems are built to stop it before it reaches you.
- Prices set daily by software, then checked by a real person on our team
- Every guest message answered by trained people, not bots
- Regular property inspections, with a written report
- One manager who can switch between short, medium and long-term leasing when the market changes

Owner FAQs
Questions owners ask us
How much does PlaceHosts charge to manage a property?
Fees depend on the location, the property and how it's leased (short, medium or long-term), so we give every owner a tailored quote with their free rental appraisal. Short-stay management covers pricing, guest communication, 24/7 guest support with security call-out cover, linen and guest supplies, and regular owner inspection reports.
Do you manage medium and long-term rentals too?
Yes. PlaceHosts is part of Letto Property Group, a licensed real estate agency in Queensland and New South Wales, so we manage short, medium and long-term rentals.
Who pays for linen, toiletries and cleaning?
Guests pay a cleaning and linen fee on each booking, which covers cleaning, laundry and restocking. We supply the linen and guest amenities, so you have no linen or supply costs.
What happens if a guest damages my property or causes a disturbance?
Every short-stay booking carries guest damage protection. Our 24/7 support line can also send local security to deal with noise or disturbances at any hour.
Can you help with just part of the hosting?
Yes. Full management suits most owners, but we can also take on part of the job, such as cleaning, linen and restocking, or getting a new property furnished and listed. Tell us what you need and we'll quote for it.
Can I still use my property myself?
Yes. Block out the dates you want and we'll work pricing around them.
How long is the management agreement?
There's a 6-month minimum term. After that, either party can end the agreement with 2 months' notice.
