Case Study – Hometime South Australia

Reece and Leah owned a 2-bedroom unit just five minutes from the beach, which they hoped would generate extra income for their growing family. Initially listed with a real estate agent at $250 per week, the property sat vacant for 10 weeks, causing significant financial and emotional stress—especially with a baby on the way.

Within the first week of Hometime taking over, the property generated $700 in gross rental income. After six months, it had achieved 91% occupancy and a 392% return on the originally expected weekly income.

While researching other options, they discovered Hometime South Australia. Local partner Jessica and her team stepped in, professionally styling the home and positioning it for short-term rental on Airbnb, ensuring it was both attractive and guest-ready.

Thanks to the improved income, Reece and Leah could focus on family life instead of finances. Their improved cash flow even allowed them to buy a new car—turning a stressful situation into a success story.

Blackbird On Partridge

Within walking distance to Glenelg beach, cafes and shops, Blackbird is a luxurious property one could only dream of staying in. Prior to coming on board with Hometime South Australia, Michelle had the property listed on Gumtree in search of a long-term tenant. In the hopes of receiving a reasonable amount of $550 per week unfurnished. After meeting with Michelle and viewing the property we were able to provide a holistic approach on short-term rental for Airbnb to increase the expected income if tenanted as a rental property. We additionally offered advice on how to present the property to maximise the return in the Short-term market while ensuring guests have a welcoming and enjoyable stay.

With nightly rates ranging from $150 - $400 per night, we were able to increase Michelle's income significantly over her asking price of $550 per week. Achieving an occupancy of over 90% with average nightly rates and consistent 5 star reviews.With the proven success of this property Michelle is now looking at bringing on her other investment properties with Hometime South Australia.

Deciding to make the switch from rental property to the AirBNB sector when we live interstate was a nervous decision but from the initial consultation with the team, all of our nerves went away. The change was so seamless and hassle free. The team manage everything for us from buying furniture, photographing and listing our property, arranging cleaners, managing bookings plus so much more. We believe their responsiveness and attention to detail have been the key to our units success so far. We couldn’t recommend the team at Hometime South Australia enough and are so happy we made the change.

Hometime South Australia have been instrumental in the success of our Airbnb. They have guided us through every step of getting it ready and our reviews have been very positive. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they are very professional and great communicators. I would highly recommend their service.
