Airbnb cleaning in Melbourne, Docklands and Southbank
Turnover housekeeping, linen and maintenance for Melbourne tower apartments, from a team already running a building in Docklands every day.
Melbourne is a tower market with its own rulebook
Short-stay in Melbourne means Docklands, Southbank and the CBD towers: lift-booked docks, building managers who induct contractors, and calendars driven by the MCG, the tennis, the Grand Prix and the show. Guests arrive in waves around events and leave the same way, and a housekeeping operation that cannot turn over a whole floor on a Monday morning after a Grand Final weekend does not survive here.
Opera already runs a serviced apartment building in Docklands seven days a week. Our Melbourne teams know the docks, the lifts and the building managers, and are scheduled against your calendar rather than a roster, so event-weekend volume is planned in advance.

- Faults raised as maintenance jobs the same day
- Optional meet and greet for corporate and event arrivals
Short-stay rules in Melbourne
Victoria’s framework is different from NSW. There is no state registration portal or night cap, but there is a 7.5 per cent short-stay levy on bookings, and owners corporations can prohibit short-stay letting in their building by a 75 per cent vote. Fire-safety and essential-safety-measures obligations apply through the building, not the apartment, so working with the building manager matters more than in Sydney. Opera coordinates that on your behalf.
Melbourne questions
How much does Airbnb cleaning cost in Melbourne?
Melbourne CBD, Docklands and Southbank short-stays are mostly one and two-bedroom tower apartments, which sit at the lower end of our per-job range. Linen is quoted per bed. Send the building and apartment for a fixed rate within one business day.
Which parts of Melbourne do you cover?
Melbourne CBD, Docklands, Southbank, South Melbourne, Port Melbourne, Carlton, Fitzroy, Collingwood, Richmond, South Yarra, Prahran, St Kilda and North Melbourne. We already run a serviced apartment building in Docklands every day.
How does the Victorian short-stay levy affect me?
Victoria charges a 7.5 per cent levy on short-stay bookings, collected by the platform or the owner. It squeezes margin, which is exactly why fixed per-job housekeeping beats a percentage-based manager in Melbourne: your cost per turnover does not rise when the levy pushes your nightly rate up.
Can my owners corporation ban short-stays?
In Victoria, owners corporations now have the power to prohibit short-stay accommodation by a 75 per cent vote. Check your building’s rules before listing. Opera cannot change that, but we will tell you plainly if a building we service is moving to a ban.
