Low Season

The low season refers to the period of the year when demand for short-term rentals in a specific location is at its lowest.

When is low season for short-term rentals in Australia?

Low season typically falls during winter months (June-August) in most areas, except ski destinations. For tropical regions like North Queensland, it's the wet season (November-April). School term times also see reduced demand in family-oriented locations.

How does MadeComfy manage properties during low seasons?

MadeComfy implements dynamic pricing strategies and targeted marketing to maintain occupancy. They may offer special promotions, highlight unique property features, or adjust minimum stay requirements to attract guests during quieter periods.

Are there advantages to booking during low season?

Absolutely. Guests can enjoy:

  • Significant discounts (often 20-40% off peak rates)
  • Greater availability and flexibility with dates
  • Less crowded attractions and local amenities
  • More responsive service from property managers

Do property owners earn less during low season?

While returns may be lower than peak periods, professional managers like MadeComfy work to minimise vacancies through strategic pricing and marketing. Many owners appreciate the balance between high-season profits and low-season maintenance opportunities.

How can owners prepare their properties for low season?

MadeComfy recommends:

  • Scheduling maintenance and upgrades
  • Adjusting decor for seasonal appeal (e.g., cozy winter themes)
  • Offering flexible cancellation policies
  • Highlighting year-round attractions in listings

MadeComfy's data-driven approach helps property owners navigate seasonal fluctuations while maximising annual returns across Australia's varied markets.
