Minimum Night Stay

The minimum stay refers to the shortest duration for which a property can be booked.

Why do short-term rentals have minimum night stay requirements?

Minimum stays help property managers maintain operational efficiency and maximise returns. They're commonly used to:

  • Offset cleaning costs
  • Reduce guest turnover
  • Comply with local council regulations
  • Manage seasonal demand

What is MadeComfy's policy on minimum night stays?

MadeComfy implements flexible minimum stays based on:

  • Property type (3-7 nights for houses, 2-5 for apartments)
  • Seasonal demand (longer in peak periods)
  • Location requirements (some councils mandate 5+ nights)

Exact requirements are shown on each property listing.

Can minimum stay requirements be negotiated?

During off-peak periods, some MadeComfy properties may offer shorter stays if there's availability. Guests can inquire through the booking platform, but approval depends on cleaning schedules and existing reservations.

How do minimum stays vary across Australian locations?

Popular holiday destinations often require:

  • 7+ nights during school holidays
  • 3-5 nights for long weekends
    Urban properties typically have 2-3 night minimums year-round, except for major events.

Are there exceptions to minimum stay policies?

MadeComfy may waive requirements for:

  • Last-minute bookings (within 48 hours)
  • Repeat guests
  • Special circumstances (subject to approval)

All MadeComfy properties clearly display their minimum stay requirements, which are automatically enforced by booking platforms. These policies help maintain fair pricing while ensuring properties meet Australian accommodation standards.
