The Gold Coast holiday rental market is not just growing. It is separating the investors who treat it like a business from those who don’t.
In this episode of Buying Gold Coast, I sit down with Teliah and Halle from Khove, specialists in holiday letting across the Gold Coast and Northern New South Wales, to break down what actually makes a short term rental successful in 2026.
It is not just about buying the right property. It is about understanding occupancy rate, rental income strategy, and how to position your investment property to actually perform.
In this episode, we cover:
Why holiday rentals are a high risk, high reward strategy
The difference between short term rental income vs long term renting
Why occupancy rate matters more than nightly price
The best types of investment properties for rental income
Where to buy on the Gold Coast for stronger returns
Why most investors fail in the first 6 to 12 months
How to set up your property to stand out in a saturated market
The truth about passive income from property in 2026
