Rockhampton's hotels usually book out. Your spare room doesn't have to sit empty.
Every couple of years, tens of thousands of people flood into Rocky, Yeppoon & Gladstone for Beef 2027 — and every year, there aren't enough beds.
This year, that's your opportunity.
Join us for a free community information night where Airbnb will share average host earnings from previous Beef events, and what you can potentially earn — whether you have a spare room, a granny flat, or the whole house to offer while you're away.
Here's what you'll walk away knowing:
• What Rockhampton/Yeppoon/Gladstone homes are realistically earning during these events.
• How to get your home ready in time — even if you've never hosted before
• What Airbnb does to protect you, your home, and your belongings — at no extra cost to you
• How to choose your guests, set your own rules, and stay in control
• Who to call if something goes wrong (spoiler: you won't be on your own)
Hosted by Airbnb and Beef Australia, come and learn how hosts got started and how you can too.
Whether you're curious, keen, or just want to know if it's worth the effort, come along and ask your questions face to face. There's no obligation, and no experience required.
🍺 Light refreshments provided. Seats are limited — register now to secure your spot.
