REVENUE

Revenue from Cottesloe properties

A Cottesloe host asks about $380 a night, a hundred dollars more than we average across Perth, and the median home is still empty seven nights in ten. At that rate a home passes $78,000 once it fills 56% of the year. Summer takes care of itself. The work is in June.

Results vary with property type, condition, availability, pricing and demand, and past performance is not a revenue guarantee.

SHORT-TERM VS LONG-TERM

Cottesloe short-term vs long-term rental

A Cottesloe apartment on a long lease brings in about $44,200 a year. Our Perth properties gross 1.8 times that on short-term lets, before the higher running costs that come with guests. REIWA’s house median for Cottesloe is much higher, so this table compares apartment to apartment, which is what most of the suburb’s listings are.

Apartment $44,200 $78,000
Gross revenue uplift Baseline 76% higher (1.8 times)
Data sources

The long-term median comes from the REIWA Cottesloe suburb profile (unit median, retrieved 15 September 2026), weekly rent multiplied by 52. The Sepal Stays column is the rounded average of our Perth properties; both columns show gross rental revenue before operating costs, which are usually higher for short-term rentals.
