Self-Managed Short-Stay Accommodation Hosts — Hepburn Shire, Victoria, Australia Project Overview I need a researcher to identify and compile contact details for self-managed short-stay accommodation property owners in the Hepburn Shire region of Central Victoria, Australia. I am a local linen hire and laundry business looking to reach property owners directly. I do NOT want properties managed by booking agencies — only individual owners who self-manage their listings. Geographic Area The search area covers the Hepburn Shire, Central Victoria, Australia. Key towns and surrounding areas to include: Daylesford Hepburn Springs Trentham Creswick Clunes Glenlyon Sailors Falls Leonards Hill Newstead Yandoit Wheatsheaf Lyonsville Platforms to Search Please cross-reference across all of the following: Airbnb (airbnb.com.au) — search each town/area above Stayz (stayz.com.au) Booking.com Facebook — search property names found on the above platforms Google — search property names to find standalone websites or contact pages Inside Airbnb (insideairbnb.com) — free public dataset; download the most recent Melbourne/Victoria listing data and filter by Hepburn Shire locations How to Identify Self-Managed vs Agency-Managed INCLUDE listings where: The host name appears to be an individual person (e.g. "Michelle", "John & Sarah", "The Smith Family") The host manages only 1–5 properties There is no agency branding in the listing name or description EXCLUDE listings managed by these known local agencies (and any others that appear to be commercial agencies): Dayget / Daylesford Getaways Discover Daylesford The Houses Daylesford Daylesford Country Retreats McCallum Linen Services properties Any host managing 10+ properties (likely a commercial operator) What I Need Captured (Spreadsheet Columns) Please deliver a spreadsheet (.xlsx or .csv) with the following columns: ColumnDescriptionProperty NameName of the listing/propertySuburbTown or suburbHost NameName as shown on the listingPhone NumberIf found on any platform or GoogleEmail AddressIf found on any platform, website, or Facebook pageFacebook Page URLIf the property has its own Facebook pageWebsite URLIf the property has its own websiteAirbnb Listing URLDirect link to the Airbnb listingOther Platform URLsStayz, Booking.com links if foundNumber of PropertiesHow many properties this host managesNotesAnything relevant — e.g. "no contact details found", "email only on website" Priority Targets Please flag or sort to the top of the spreadsheet any properties where: A phone number OR email address was found (these are the most actionable) The property is in an outer area (Trentham, Creswick, Clunes, Glenlyon, Sailors Falls) — these areas may be underserved by existing linen suppliers What I Do NOT Need Properties managed by the agencies listed above Large commercial operators managing 10+ properties Properties outside the Hepburn Shire region Duplicate entries for the same property across platforms (consolidate into one row) Deliverable One clean spreadsheet (.xlsx preferred) Duplicates removed Sorted by suburb Priority contacts (those with phone or email) flagged or listed first Estimated volume: I expect 200–500 self-managed properties in this area Timeline Please confirm how long this will take before accepting. I would like delivery within 5–7 business days. Questions Welcome If anything is unclear or you need clarification on the geographic area or how to distinguish self-managed from agency listings, please message me before starting. I would rather answer questions upfront than receive a list that needs to be redone. "In your proposal please tell me how you would identify self-managed hosts versus agency-managed listings on Airbnb. Proposals that do not answer this question will not be considered."
