How Boulevard works for property owners
As a property owner, you want reliability, professionalism, and peace of mind. Whether you're based overseas, frustrated with traditional rental challenges, or simply want hassle-free income from your investment, Boulevard offers a straightforward proposition: we lease your property and you receive guaranteed on-time rent.
As your tenant, we handle all day-to-day operations and ongoing care of the property, keeping it in show-home condition.
The benefits for you
Pristine property care
Your property is professionally cleaned and prepared after each guest departure, and maintained to the high standards expected by discerning short-stay guests. Bathrooms, kitchens, floors, and all surfaces are kept meticulously clean - maintaining show-home presentation year-round, not just at lease end. This delivers a level of ongoing care well beyond typical rental arrangements.
Simple maintenance without the hassle
We handle issues like dripping taps, blocked sinks, loose fittings, etc., covering associated costs up to $500 per year - quickly and without bothering you. Our regular inspections catch problems early before they escalate, while specialist repairs or building matters are coordinated with you or your agent.
Thoughtful guest management
Proactive oversight helps ensure our stays run smoothly, and gives you confidence your property is being treated with care.
Guest screening:
ID verification, and review history checks for each booking.
Strict house rules:
No pets, no parties, and no smoking - all enforceable under our model.
Real-time noise monitoring:
Privacy-safe sensors notify us if noise levels rise, helping ensure guests remain considerate of neighbours.
Standards that protect your investment
Our 100% 5-star reviews, Superhost status, Guest Favourite recognition, and top 5% platform rankings reflect the care and consistency we bring to every property - delivering reliability and peace of mind.
Long-term stability
We seek 12+ month leases initially, aiming for long-term tenancies with the option to renew. This provides stability for you, fewer turnovers, and a tenant committed to caring for your property.
Completely hands-off
You receive reliable fixed rent every month. You're not impacted by bookings, pricing, or seasonality.
Our guest profile
Where are our guests from?
Approximately half of our guests have been international - from countries including Denmark, the Netherlands, New Zealand, China, the UK, and Canada - and nearly a third have been interstate visitors. The balance of our guests have been from regional Victoria and Melbourne, booking for long weekend getaways, anniversaries, or visiting friends while maintaining their own space.
What's the reason for their visit?
Business trips and conferences have accounted for around a third of our bookings. The remaining stays have been for travel and tours (such as Australia-wide visits), planned leisure, as well as major events such as the Australian Open tennis, the F1 Grand Prix, and arts and theatre shows.
What are our guest demographics?
Over 50% of our guests have been in the 30–50 age range, with a further 30% in the 50+ age group.
