About this listen

This week on Airbnb Superhosts Down Under, we welcome Catharine, a seasoned Airbnb guest, devoted mum of two, and a voice every host should hear. With more than a decade of travel experience using Airbnb, Catharine shares what truly matters for families when booking a stay—from the small comforts that make a space feel like home, to the subtle touches that turn first-timers into repeat guests.

🎙️ In this episode:

  • ​What families prioritize when choosing Airbnbs over hotels
  • ​The emotional impact of thoughtful amenities like toys, kids’ cutlery, and practical layouts
  • ​How Catharine’s daughter chose a familiar Airbnb over a birthday party
  • ​Why smart locks and check-in simplicity can shape a guest’s first impression
  • ​Dealing with “too much charm” — when quirkiness affects function
  • ​Balancing honest reviews with empathy: how guests really think

This episode offers a refreshing flip of the mic—putting the guest’s voice front and center to inspire better hosting.

  • ​South Yarra Property
