01The LTPM approach

Your investment.
Their Melbourne home.
Every detail matters.

Good hospitality begins long before a guest opens the door.

LTPM brings property care and the guest experience together. We manage Melbourne short-stay apartments with careful presentation, daily pricing and clear communication with owners.

For guests, the Agarwood Collection is a place to settle in. For owners, it is a property looked after with purpose, by the same team and systems we use for our own apartments.

A considered service.

From the first listing to the finishing touches, we take care of the work behind every welcome.

01Prepare and present

Furnishing and styling to a consistent standard, professional photography, and listing copy written to win the booking.

04Clean and replenish

A full turnover clean, commercial linen and restocked essentials after every stay, finished with a photographed condition check.

05Care and coordinate

Trades on call for hot water, locks, wi-fi and appliances. Repairs above an agreed amount come to you first with a quote.

06Report and reconcile

A monthly statement of bookings, revenue, occupancy, fees and your payout, ready to hand to your accountant.

04 · For property owners

Your next chapter.
A clear first step.

Every apartment is different. We start with yours, then build a plan around it.

01

Meet your property

We look at the location, layout and presentation, and check that your building permits short stays.

02

Make a clear plan

You receive a written proposal with projected nightly rates by season, expected occupancy, costs and fees.

03

Open the door

We agree the setup, prepare the apartment, connect the listings and start hosting. Most apartments take about four weeks.

05 · Practical questions

The details.
Made clear.

Can't see your question? Ask us in the enquiry form below.

What does LTPM manage?

Melbourne apartments and houses run as short stays, mostly in the CBD and inner suburbs. We handle presentation, listings, pricing, guests, housekeeping, maintenance coordination and owner reporting.

Can I still stay in my apartment?

Yes. Block the dates in the calendar with reasonable notice, a month where possible, and we work around confirmed bookings.

Does the apartment need to be furnished?

It needs to be fully equipped for guests before it goes live. If it isn't, we specify and install the fit-out to a standard that photographs well and lasts. The earnings page itemises a typical budget.

What are the fees?

Our management fee is 16.5% including GST, charged on booking revenue after cleaning costs are paid. Your proposal and agreement set out every cost, and each booking and deduction appears on your monthly statement.

Do you guarantee income?

No. Our projections are estimates with their assumptions stated. Actual results depend on the apartment, the building, the season and the market.

What happens if a guest damages something?

Housekeeping photographs the apartment after every departure, so damage is found within hours. We claim through the platform's host protection first and tell you the same day.

What is the Agarwood Collection?

It is our guest-facing brand: the apartments LTPM operates and presents to guests under one standard.
