About the Business
Established Blue Mountains short-term rental and accommodation management business for sale.
The business currently includes 3 fully operated short-term rental properties, 1 managed property under the UM Hosting brand earning a 17% management fee, and live-in base/accommodation option for the incoming operator with alot of value.
The 3 fully operated properties are income-producing short-stay homes where the operator receives the full operating benefit, not management percentage. The managed property shows the next stage of growth: building UM Hosting into a broader short-term rental management company for other local property owners.
Revenue has grown strongly over more than 3 years, from approx. $36,000 in the first year to approx. $86,000 in 2024, approx. $238,000 in 2025 and projected 2026 revenue of approx. $250,000. The business has hundreds of 5-star reviews, Guest Favourite status, strong guest history and current booking momentum.
Included in the sale is approx. $90,000 original furniture/setup investment across the accommodation portfolio, including guest-ready furnishings, styling, bedding, linen, kitchenware and household items. Also included are the UM Hosting brand, website, cleaning app, pricing engine, guest communication templates, check-in/check-out processes, supplier contacts, operating procedures and handover support.
This is not simply a furniture sale. The value is in the proven revenue, guest reputation, systems, technology, local market knowledge, furnished properties and future growth opportunity.
The business would suit a hands-on owner-operator, couple, property manager, short-stay host, cleaner or hospitality operator wanting to step into an established Blue Mountains accommodation business rather than starting from scratch.
Growth potential includes adding more managed properties, using the brand and website to attract owners, improving direct bookings, expanding the UM Hosting management model and continuing to use the existing pricing and cleaning systems to drive performance.
Transition can be structured through a full-access co-host/primary host arrangement where permitted, with the buyer receiving the economic benefit of the listings and operating the business day to day, subject to platform rules, property approvals, insurance, compliance and final legal documentation.
History
Built over more than 3 years, the business started with one small short-term rental generating approx. $36,000 in its first year. Revenue grew to approx. $86,000 in 2024 and approx. $238,000 in 2025, with 2026 projected around $250,000. UM Hosting was later created to expand into managing other owners’ properties, with one managed property recently added.
