About this app
For property managers running short-term rentals alongside the rent roll. Short-Stay Manager tracks each listing's STRA register status and safety checklist. You record each booking yourself and tag the platform it came from (Airbnb, Stayz, Booking.com, direct or other); nothing is imported from those platforms and there is no channel connection. From the bookings you enter it calculates the short-stay levy (for example Victoria's 7.5 percent) and the non-hosted night cap, and compiles the levy figures for a quarter or a year so you can see the total. It does not lodge anything: you lodge and pay with your state revenue office yourself. Off-platform bookings are flagged for self-reporting. Rates and caps vary by state and change often, so confirm current figures with your state revenue office.

About OneBookPlus apps
How Short-Stay (STRA) Manager fits into the rest of OneBookPlus
Most OneBookPlus apps are not external integrations wired up between separate products. They are native modules installed inside the same platform you already use for invoicing, bookings, CRM, and accounting. That means Short-Stay (STRA) Manager reads from and writes to the same customer records, financial entries, and calendar events as every other module, with no scheduled sync delays and no risk of data drift between systems.
Because the marketplace runs inside OneBookPlus, billing is consolidated. Short-Stay (STRA) Manager appears as a single line on the same OneBookPlus invoice as your plan, so you don't end up reconciling separate vendor charges across three or four different SaaS subscriptions. Cancellation is one click and never reaches into your data. Uninstalling an app removes the feature from the UI but preserves the underlying customer, invoice, and booking records, so reinstalling later picks up exactly where you left off.
Every app in the marketplace is built specifically for the Australian small and medium business context: GST and ABN handling are first-class concerns, dates render as DD/MM/YYYY, currency defaults to AUD, and the underlying compliance plumbing (BAS summaries, ATO-friendly records, AHPRA / NDIS / Fair Work checkpoints where relevant) is shared across modules.
