Experience summary
Gabriel Sarajinsky is the founder and operator of HomeHost, Australia's first Airbnb property management company, which he established in Sydney in 2015. The business grew organically from Gabriel's own experience managing his Bondi apartment on Airbnb while overseas — proving short-term rental returns could consistently outperform long-term letting — before friends and colleagues began seeking his help with their own properties. Over the past decade, Gabriel has built HomeHost into Sydney's best-rated Airbnb management company, covering the full short-term rental lifecycle including listing creation, photography, guest vetting, cleaning, linen, key handover, property styling, maintenance, and STRA compliance. The company operates across a wide footprint of Sydney's most sought-after suburbs — including Bondi, Manly, Double Bay, Vaucluse, and Byron Bay — serving property owners who want higher rental returns without the day-to-day management burden. Gabriel remains personally hands-on, as evidenced by his direct mention in multiple client testimonials, and has cultivated a team of dedicated property and guest managers, cleaners, stylists, and maintenance professionals to deliver consistently high guest ratings.

Airbnb Property Management in Sydney
Gabriel built Australia's first Airbnb property management company from scratch, growing it into Sydney's best-rated service over a decade. He covers the full short-term rental lifecycle — listing, photography, guest vetting, cleaning, styling, maintenance, and STRA compliance — so owners earn more without the day-to-day burden. If you own a Sydney property and want to maximise short-term rental returns hands-free, Gabriel is the go-to operator.
Maximising Rental Returns with Short-Term Letting
Gabriel proved that short-term rental via Airbnb can consistently outperform long-term letting — first with his own Bondi apartment, then across a wide portfolio of Sydney properties. He can help property owners understand whether short-term rental is right for their asset, how to price and position it, and what returns to realistically expect versus a traditional lease.
Launching & Scaling a Property Services Business
Gabriel grew HomeHost from a solo side project — managing his own apartment while overseas — into a full-service company with dedicated property managers, guest managers, cleaners, stylists, and maintenance teams. His journey from founder-operator to building a reliable service business offers practical insight for anyone looking to launch or scale in the property services or hospitality space.

Operating in Sydney's tightly regulated short-term rental environment since 2015, Gabriel has first-hand experience navigating STRA compliance requirements that catch many property owners off-guard. He can guide owners through what Sydney's regulatory framework means for their property, how to stay compliant, and how to structure their setup to avoid costly mistakes.
