Ratings and home counts are across each manager's public listings over the last 12 months. Fees are as published by the manager; unclaimed profiles haven't been confirmed by them. “On CoHostCompare” means the manager has claimed their profile and replies to quote requests here; it doesn't change the order.

How this list is made
- Included: every published manager running at least one short-term rental within 4 km of an area we cover in regional NSW holiday areas (45 managers), with at least 3 homes near one of those areas and at least 20 public guest reviews (41 managers).
- Order: a blend of guest rating (50%, each rating pulled toward the regional NSW holiday areas average of 4.66 ★ as if it had 50 more average reviews, so a handful of perfect scores can't beat thousands of near-perfect ones), homes they run near one area here (30%, on a log scale), being on CoHostCompare to reply to owners (10%, free to every manager) and owner reviews here (10%). Ties go to the manager with more homes nearby.
- Left out: hotels, resorts, motels and serviced-apartment operators, which take bookings rather than manage homes for owners. Their profiles stay on the site.
- Nothing a manager pays for is used, and we never reorder by hand. A manager can't ask to be moved up or removed for a better spot.
- The list rebuilds automatically from the latest data. Last worked out on 15 November 2026. More market figures.
