Airbnb Co-Host Services in Cairns
One management plan at 18% of gross booking income, after cleaning and linen fees are deducted, GST inclusive.
The Guest Man acts as co-host on your Airbnb listing across Cairns, Palm Cove and the Northern Beaches — automated messaging, dynamic pricing, 24/7 guest support, housekeeping and linen coordination and owner reporting. We run one plan rather than a menu of part-service tiers, so there is nothing to compare and no upsell later.
Work With a Licensed Agent, Superhost & Guest-Favourite Hosting Specialist
The Guest Man is led by Ian Muir, a licensed real estate agent with more than four years of Airbnb Superhost experience. We understand listing performance, guest expectations and the systems needed to support Airbnb hosts across Cairns, Palm Cove and the Northern Beaches.

Added As Your Co-Host, On One Plan
In Airbnb's own language we become a co-host on your listing — you stay the owner on the account and we run the property. What we do not do is split that into part-service tiers. There is one plan: full management at 18% of gross booking income, after cleaning and linen fees are deducted, GST inclusive.
We took the cheaper part-service options off the table on purpose. Owners who paid less for guidance-only support still ended up handling the 10pm phone calls, and the listings that performed were always the ones where one party owned the whole result.
- ✔ Guest communication handled end to end, 24/7
- ✔ Dynamic pricing and calendar management
- ✔ Housekeeping, linen and turnover coordination
- ✔ Listing optimisation across Airbnb and Booking.com
- ✔ Owner reporting and ongoing performance review
Perfect For
Owners who want the property run properly without being on call themselves
Hosts who searched for a co-host and want one accountable party instead
Owners who want one clear fee rather than tiers to compare and upsells later

A Typical Co-Host vs Full Management
Shared Responsibility
- You stay the primary host and keep day-to-day control
- Advice on pricing, messaging and the listing
- Cheaper headline rate, often 10–13%
- You still field the late-night guest issues yourself
This is the arrangement most owners are picturing when they search for a co-host. It is not what we offer.
