02 · Accountability
One local manager, with national operating support
Cameron Tupper is the local contact for property assessment, pricing oversight and owner communication. He has more than 20 years of Queensland property experience and holds Queensland Real Estate Licence 4912167.
The Oasis Stay platform supplies the hosting infrastructure, distribution, guest-support capability and operating systems behind the local service. That combination is designed to give owners one accountable local contact without asking one person to perform every operational task alone.
03 · Demand Channels
Airbnb is one channel, not the whole market
Properties are listed and synced across 25+ booking platforms, including Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, Wotif, Webjet, Hotels.com and Vrbo, through the channel manager. Channel selection and listing settings still need to suit the property.
Oasis Stay also has partner channels involving relocation companies, insurance companies and corporate travel alliances. These are additional demand sources to assess, not promised placements or a guaranteed volume of bookings.
Read how mid-term, insurance and relocation stay enquiries are assessed, including the written terms to confirm before acceptance.
04 · Fees And Inclusions
A published fee, with the boundaries in writing
The ongoing management charge is 18% + GST on owner income. Owner income means booking revenue after booking platform fees, excluding guest-paid cleaning. The separate one-off $880 onboarding package includes professional photography, the initial deep clean, a key safe supplied and installed, a linen package and a guest supplies starter kit.
| Item | Published approach |
|---|---|
| Ongoing management | 18% + GST on owner income |
| Onboarding | One-off $880 package with the inclusions listed above |
| Linen and guest consumables | Included in management |
| Ongoing cleaning | Set as a guest-paid cleaning fee |
| Maintenance and property accounts | Responsibilities, approvals and charges follow the written management agreement |
What lower-fee management can include, and what ours covers
Do not compare percentages in isolation. Compare what is working for your property every day. Two publicly advertised full-service offers reviewed on 1 November 2026 started at 8% and 14%. Our 18% + GST covers active pricing, broader distribution, round-the-clock guest support, a 24/7 owner portal and a named local manager. A cheaper fee can be attractive, but it does not remove the cost of missed demand, weak presentation or your own time spent chasing answers.
| What to compare | Lower-fee offers reviewed | Brisbane Airbnb Management |
|---|---|---|
| Advertised ongoing fee | From 8% to 14%, depending on the property and package. | 18% + GST, with the active management, technology and support below included as standard. |
| Fee calculation | One offer stated gross booking revenue. The other described invoices using revenue collected by the host. Confirm the exact base in your quote. | Charged on owner income after the booking platform fee, excluding guest-paid cleaning. You are not charged management on guest-paid cleaning. |
| Dynamic pricing and booking strategy | Both published pricing. Ask whether rates are reviewed daily, who sets the strategy and how minimum stays and gap nights are handled. | Daily dynamic pricing guided by Cameron Tupper's property-specific strategy, including minimum-stay settings and selective gap management. The aim is not simply more nights. It is better-fit bookings at the right rates, with fewer unsuitable turnovers. |
| Multi-channel bookings | Confirm which channels are included, whether listings are synced and whether insurance, relocation and corporate enquiries are part of the service. | Distribution across 25+ booking platforms, with additional relocation, insurance and corporate channels assessed where suitable. More ways to be found, rather than relying on Airbnb alone. |
| Guest vetting and 24/7 support | Both published guest communication. One also specified 24/7 guest support. Confirm who responds and what happens outside office hours. | Guest vetting, 24/7 issue response and local operational support. Your property is not left waiting for office hours when a guest needs help. |
| Owner portal and reporting | One published an owner dashboard. Confirm whether you can see live bookings, rates, revenue and statements. | A 24/7 owner portal with a live calendar, booking activity, nightly rates, revenue and downloadable statements. See what is happening without chasing a monthly report. |
| Cleaning and presentation | Both included cleaning or cleaning coordination in their published service scope. Confirm charges and cleaning-team arrangements in writing. | Coordinated between stays by Oasis Stay's own employee cleaning team, giving us direct oversight of presentation and turnover standards. Ongoing cleaning is guest-paid. |
| Linen and guest consumables | The reviewed pages did not clearly state that ongoing linen and guest consumables were included in the management fee. | Included in ongoing management, so these essentials are not treated as optional extras. |
| Setup and photography | Both advertised professional photography and no setup or onboarding fee. | One-off $880 including GST: professional photography, initial deep clean, key safe, linen and guest-supplies starter kit. Your property is prepared for market, not simply given a listing. |
| Local accountability and flexibility | One published monthly agreements with one-month cancellation. The other published local support and an owner dashboard. | Cameron Tupper is your local manager, backed by Oasis Stay's operating team. Month to month, no lock-in and no exit fee. You get personal accountability without being trapped in a contract. |

Inner Brisbane property and suburb knowledge
Each property needs its own comparison set. A CBD apartment, a New Farm character home and a Milton unit near Suncorp Stadium do not have identical guest needs or booking patterns. Start with your suburb, then request an address-specific assessment.

Use these suburb averages as market context, then compare the individual property with similar homes, layouts and availability.

Owner revenue is after booking platform fees, before management fees and owner costs. Figures are suburb averages, not a forecast for one property. See the dataset methodology.

06 · Property Fit
Start with the property, not a market average
Suburb data is useful context, but it cannot predict one address. Cameron Tupper reviews the property type, bedding, presentation, access, parking, availability and likely owner costs before discussing a range. If short stay is not the right fit, he will say so.
Verified Bowen Hills case study
See what changed at a Bowen Hills apartment
A flat nightly rate and frequent one-night stays became a property-specific strategy with a three-night minimum, professional presentation and broader distribution. The verified six-month comparison recorded 89% occupancy, approximately $29,100 gross revenue and less than 15 minutes of owner involvement per month. Results are property-specific.

Short stay management, answered
What does short stay management include?
Pricing, listing copy and distribution, guest communication and vetting, 24/7 issue response, cleaning coordination, post-stay inspections, maintenance coordination and owner reporting. The written agreement sets the property-specific responsibilities.
Is Airbnb management the same as short stay management?
Airbnb is one booking channel. Short stay management covers the property, guests, pricing and operations across Airbnb and other suitable channels, rather than treating one platform as the whole service.
How much does short stay management cost?
The published ongoing charge is 18% + GST on owner income, plus a one-off $880 onboarding package. Ongoing cleaning is guest-paid. Owner costs and written-agreement terms remain separate.
Can I use my property for my own stays?
Yes, owner stays can be planned through the owner portal, subject to existing bookings and the agreed calendar arrangements.
Do you guarantee a particular income or occupancy?
No. Property features, availability, pricing, seasonality, guest demand and owner costs all affect the result. Cameron Tupper provides a property-specific estimate rather than a guaranteed return.
