“Hobart has a summer peak and a very unusual winter one: Dark Mofo in June. The Sydney to Hobart yacht race brings the end of December alive, and MONA draws visitors all year. Tasmania also taxes short-stay accommodation in some cases, so costs need checking.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in Hobart books a session, and the errors he corrects most often. Every one is set up inside your own pricing tool, so it keeps working after the call.
Price Dark Mofo in June as a winter premium.
Price Sydney to Hobart race week.
Price December to February as the main season.
Add cruise days as short-stay opportunities.
Lower July to August floors outside Dark Mofo.

Summer is the core season, so I price the Taste of Tasmania period and yacht race week as premiums and keep three night minimums through January.
Autumn colours and food trails keep couples coming, so I hold weekends firm and offer gentle midweek value for longer touring stays around the state.
The festival creates a winter peak, so I lift rates for its dates, especially near the waterfront, and set two night minimums on the busiest nights.
Cold weather and fewer flights slow demand, so I lower floors carefully, focus on cosy amenities in listings and welcome longer winter stays from mainland visitors.
Spring brings more walkers and cruise ships, so I step rates up gradually and price cruise days as short-stay opportunities near the city.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in Hobart needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
For Hobart and Tasmanian owners I review approvals, tax settings and seasonal rates, then build a plan around summer, Dark Mofo and the quieter winter, with clear advice on minimum stays, touring guests heading to the east coast, and how to compete with the boutique hotels around the waterfront.
On Airbnb and Stayz I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with Tasmania's event dates, winter floors and summer premiums, and I make sure the listing explains heating, parking and touring routes that influence how long guests stay, because a Hobart base for day trips sells differently from a festival bed.
For Hobart hotels I focus on event fences for Dark Mofo and the yacht race, cruise-day pricing and balancing coach tour groups with independent travellers, so rates stay disciplined in summer and realistic in winter, and the small number of waterfront rooms is never sold too cheaply too early.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!
Airbnb host
Dark Mofo in June is a strong winter peak.
Yes, around its finish.
Yes for most homes. Dark Mofo lifts June, and mainland travellers still visit for food, whisky and quieter sightseeing. I lower floors for July and August but rarely suggest closing, because longer winter stays and returning guests often cover costs well.
Cruise passengers mostly sleep on board, but crew changes, embarking travellers and families meeting relatives can create one or two night demand near the city. I watch the published cruise schedule each season and allow shorter one night stays on those dates, while keeping longer minimums elsewhere.
Yes. Alaa has optimized 100+ properties in and around Hobart, from single Airbnb listings and small hotels to management companies running hundreds of units. Everything is remote on Zoom, scheduled in Australian Eastern Time (UTC+10 / +11).
