Professional Airbnb & Short-Let Management in Cardiff from Just 5%

As the capital of Wales, Cardiff is the strongest Welsh city on Airbnb, with a robust short-let market driven by tourism and major events. With around 1,200-1,700 active Airbnb listings, it’s a smaller but competitive market, where hosts can earn between £27,000 and £32,000 a year if their Airbnbs are managed correctly.

Ovitzia offers flexible management packages for properties across Cardiff city centre, Cardiff Bay, Pontcanna, Canton and surrounding areas. Our charges begin at 5%.

Cardiff’s STR market is being shaped by more than just big weekends

Cardiff’s short-let market has grown rapidly, with high rental demand (77/100) over the last 12 months, driving +30.4% growth in active Airbnb listings and a +11.8 % rise in average nightly rates.

So, while the market is highlighting new growth opportunities, it’s also becoming more difficult to stand out and host casually, necessitating stronger revenue management and a dynamic pricing strategy.

At Ovitzia, we don’t just take care of the guests, but also cleaning and maintenance. We manage your revenue, marketing and digital positioning, combining data, experience and local insight to outperform the average host.

Cardiff occupancy rates

Cardiff is one of the UK’s more event-driven short-term rental markets, enjoying:

  • Average Cardiff occupancies sit around 55-65% annually
  • Well-managed properties exceed 70-80% during peak periods
  • Our Airbnb managed properties achieve 90+% occupancy rates
  • Earn up to £110-£120 per night or higher for central properties
  • The city centre and Cardiff Bay achieve the highest occupancy levels
  • Areas like Pontcanna and Canton attract longer stays and returning guests
  • Cardiff Bay appeals to leisure travellers and weekend breaks

Cardiff is powered by tourism and major events. Demand is consistent throughout the year but peaks around larger events, concerts and international fixtures at the Principality Stadium. As one of the UK’s leading Airbnb management companies, we use a data-led approach to help STRs achieve higher occupancy, higher nightly rates, and more consistent, year-round revenue.
