Host fees and what you receive
Hosts pay 0% host fees, so you keep 100% of your stay price. Founding Hosts have 0% guaranteed for 5 years, to 29 November 2031.
Booking a stay: the total price comes first
The price you see for your dates is the price you pay, service fee included. How search, the listing page and checkout fit together.
Short-stay registration by state
What each state and territory asks of short-stay hosts as at September 2026, and exactly what OzGetaways does and does not do about it.
Cancelling a booking and refunds
Every booking can be cancelled free within 24 hours when check-in is a week or more away. After that, the host's policy applies.
Getting started as a host
Create your account, build your first listing step by step and mark it ready for launch day.
$2 from every booking: OzGetaways Gives
$2 from every confirmed booking goes to a local cause, chosen by where you stay. It comes out of our fee, never your price.
